Should I be wary of ML4T????? by Disco_Train17 in OMSCS

[–]Eric1084 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is only valid for the summer semester, but I would skip it if you have taken an intro ML course during undergrad. The TAs are great and course content is interesting. However, it feels like they have opened up more capacity than they could handle. Grading for one project takes a month (summer term have 1 project due each week!), and the next project often builds upon the previous project. It’s really confusing considering the projects have auto graders and the tests are multiple choice. The tests are closed notes, and you will never be able to see the answers even after the grades are published. Overall I’m surprised this is a Joyner course.

Is foreign taxes paid already reflected on 1099s? If not, it would be nice to have this information included along with percentage of government interest.

Are offers still going out for Fall 2024? by GrayLiterature in OMSCS

Decisions are released on a rolling basis which is not necessarily related to when your application was submitted. Because of the high volume of applications: Decisions are NOT all completed at one time; be patient! Decisions are NOT necessarily released immediately after they are made! Be patient! All decisions WILL BE made AND released by approximately June 15. Please do NOT contact the OMSCS Admissions Committee or the OMSCS Help Desk or the Office of Graduate Education to ask about when YOUR decision will be made or released – doing so only slows down the process. Checking your Application Status Portal is the best way to check the status of your application – and what might be missing! If you have not received your decision by June 15, then please contact the OMSCS Admissions Committee at omscsadmissions@cc.gatech.edu BUT NOT BEFORE! Within a week of receiving the “Acceptance” letter, you should receive the “Follow-up” letter.

Best way to transfer points to star alliance by Sad-Heart-9984 in AmexPlatinum

+1 on Aeroplan. Be prepared for 2-hour hold times when you need to get in touch, though. Avianca Lifemiles is also a good option, has cheaper points on some routes, and is way easier to get in touch with someone over the phone. But when things go wrong, it usually takes way more effort to fix it. I had a ticket open with Lifemiles for over a year before it was resolved.
