There isn’t any specific requirement for getting into Stanford University’s masters program in computer science. It’s just the usual statement of purpose, application form, letters of recommendation, GRE score, and transcripts.

Regarding the GRE score requirement for Stanford, you should be looking into achieving high percentile scores since it’s a very competitive school to get into. Even though they don’t provide a minimum score requirement, you would have a better chance of getting in if your whole application showed that you are competent individual that has something to bring to the university.
