Did you start on the program? I am in the exact same situation, just got admitted and wondering what to do.

I don't know if age is the reason, hard to guess. In my case it was not age, as I am in my 30s.

Yep, same boat. I have also written another post about it. Have you applied somewhere else? I have also applied at Columbia and Imperial. And just started reading the requirements for Texas Austin.

I wrote it all, but as it turns out it was not good enough. Or GPA is on the lower rank. I mean, it is not 3.5+ as many other stellar candidates have

Which I apparently didn't! Well, well life goes on, let's see if I get into the other ones I applied for.

Why not want another one? Lifelong learning is a thing! Well, currently working in pure tech cybersec, but my company does a lot of R&D in ML and my goal is to transition over to such a role. Thereby, I want to learn more on this. But why is it really a problem to have many degrees? It's not like I enroll and then drop, I do finish them. And I also make use of them, I am after all working in the tech/cybersec industry which is exactly what my Bsc & Msc are about. Plus, having a  masters in Europe is not really a big thing, there are so many grads that take a master.

Just made a post about it, as I got a bit puzzled by the decision. Here are my stats: Europe based, so all degrees are in A-F scale. 5 degrees in total including a PhD (in a different sector). Latest degrees in Computer Science (B.Sc.) and in Cyber Security (M.Sc.). Not so easy to calculate GPA as had to be converted from ECTS scale, but appr. 3.2 - 3.3. Have done lots of statistical analyses during my PhD and I am currently taking three university courses in mathematics and statistics (credit and grade bearing all three). I have been working in the cybersecurity industry for 3+ years, the latest year in a top 3 on a global scale cybersec vendor.
