Dear Mr. Yue:

I think it is a good idea for you to apply to study computer science
specializing in artificial intelligence at Stanford University.  However,
the application must be to the computer science department rather than to
me.  Therefore, I am sending your papers to the department and they will
send you instructions on how to apply.  Unfortunately, the deadline for
applying for admission in September is January 15, but perhaps they will
be able to accept a late application.

Because there are more than 10 times as many applications to the computer
science department PhD program as can be accepted, you should also apply
to other universities.  Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge,
Massachusetts 02139), Carnegie-Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA 15213),
and the University of Texas (Austin, Texas 78712) also have good graduate
programs in artificial intelligence.

Another possibility is to apply to our Master of Science program which is
easier to enter and which accepts applications up to June.  It is a one or
two year program and, unlike the PhD program, does not ordinarily include
financial support.

Should you be admitted to either of these programs, I would be glad to
advise you in your studies.
