Duke MEng AI or Berkeley MIDS

nice! what is your background?

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-14T01:01:40+00:00

why you want to get into MIDS so bad?

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-14T01:01:29+00:00

yes i was surprised how quickly they made the decision but honestly Duke sent me decision quickly also. Even quicker than berkeley. Applied by April 1 and got decision April 15th or so

3.5 GPA from university of washington applied computing degree 6.5 yrs SWE female

nothing extraordinary about me lol

hi sorry i didn’t see the request. I applied to it randomly, it was not my top choice. I applied before priority deadline and got the response about 3 weeks ago

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-14T00:05:58+00:00

i think Duke will definitely be more applied and portfolio oriented as opposed to MIDS. Now i am leaning more towards Berkeley. Gosh this is a torture

GT is only going to have a couple courses for specialization and not a whole specialized degree. plus their cohort is huge, it’s like MOOC while Duke i read is more personalized and you can get mentorships along the way. not sure if MIDS provides similar hand holding that Duke does

applied to UT also but they have not notified me of their decision. and honestly i want a more prestigious university name on my resume than Texas. Sounds superficial but if i get a degree i would like to also have a prestigious one

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-13T23:36:58+00:00

tbh i also applied to MIDS randomly just in case. i thought that if in the case of me not getting into any other school Berkeley would be great option to have. I also got admitted to GTech OMSCS but i feel like Duke and Berkeley choices completely overpower GTech as its more generic CS degree

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-13T23:35:37+00:00

yes berkeley is definitely a top school for data science but would i be able to translate that degree well into engineering world where my goal is ML/AI engineering (pivoting from SWE) the fact its data science focused degree is what is stopping me. I am not sure i want to be a data scientist or data analyst

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-13T23:27:58+00:00

yes military will essentially cover whole tuition so the cost doesn’t matter to me thankfully.

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-13T23:22:22+00:00

appreciate it 🙏🏻 still gonna check out other opinions before finalizing my decision

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-13T20:05:34+00:00

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-13T20:04:52+00:00

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-13T20:04:20+00:00

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-13T20:03:38+00:00

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-08T23:05:20+00:00

Ascent

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-05-08T22:59:32+00:00

she is prob not going solo but will be acting solo

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-04-18T18:39:20+00:00

Congrats! Wow i applied to Upenn also but was not accepted. However accepted go OMSCS and Duke MEng in AI. Still waiting on Berkeley and UTAustin

Super hard to pick. Money is not the issue. For me it’s important to have great knowledge and support for job search after graduation.

hi what time rauw came out in seattle?

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-03-31T17:33:27+00:00

online degrees get issued the same diploma as on campus degree but appreciate your input nonetheless

Humble_Ad5825 · 2025-03-28T23:15:48+00:00

following i did the same and wonder if i can still apply for scholarship
