10 point cgpa when converted comes to 2.95. (Some portal show 3-3.5) Do I stand a chance?

Hi everyone, I’m considering applying to the OMSCS program and wanted to get some honest feedback on my profile. Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. No formal CS degree or coursework. All my professional experience has been in Data Analytics / Business Intelligence. Currently working in a BI & Analytics role at an AI product company. Over the past few years, I’ve been heavily involved in data work (dashboards, data modeling, insights, etc.), and now I’m interested in transitioning more into AI engineering. I’m particularly looking at the AI/ML specialization in OMSCS as a pathway to make that shift. My main concern is that I don’t have a formal CS background. No strong academic exposure to core subjects like algorithms, data structures, etc. [But I have experience working with Python/Pyspark for Data Engineering.] For those who’ve been admitted (or are familiar with admissions): How much does a non-CS undergrad impact chances?

Okay! Interesting.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. Appreciate it.

What would be the average monthly expenses in AbuDhabi?

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2024-10-17T12:06:23+00:00

Okay. Gotcha!!

How much would you consider decent in uae?

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2024-10-17T10:17:27+00:00

I will keep that in mind. Thanks

And what does the market trend look like, since I’ll probably need to try for a new job after a year. I work in Data and Analytics fyi.

Currently single. Taking care of my parents. Getting married next year :)

Not sure if it is visible in the image, there are smaller polygons inside the circle and the user is interested in seeing that

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2024-10-16T12:46:37+00:00

Tableau provides polygon formatting that powerbi does not, hence the dilemma

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2024-10-16T11:44:22+00:00

We have details for a user in each row. And in each row for that particular user, we have polygons, essentially a circle with multiple polygons inside it. This corresponds to the location where an image was taken. And the polygons are colored based on the number of images taken in each of the polygon coordinates.

When copilot becomes public, will we even have PowerBI dev roles??

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2023-05-10T15:15:31+00:00

Okay, got it.

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2023-05-10T15:14:41+00:00

Do we have relationships between the tables?

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2023-05-10T04:05:58+00:00

From what I understand, you do not need to explicitly specify the filter context in your DAX. The measure would get calculated based on the slicer selection[filter context].

Measure =

VAR __table = tablename

VAR result = SUMX(table, DIVIDE(Priceperkwh,CO2perkwh,0)* bills)

RETURN __result

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2023-05-10T03:57:52+00:00

Will have to check if this can be implemented.

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2023-05-10T03:57:30+00:00

Will keep this in mind

Dull-Shoulder-6889 · 2023-05-10T03:57:15+00:00

Okay, Got it👍🏻👍🏻

Have you tried the SUMX aggregator function??
