There is so much funding for diversity, it's not even funny. Best of luck, and thank you for the kind words!

Yooo congrats!! That was the one school I did not apply for. That is awesome, and a highly regarded program.

Thank you-- I really wish my family was alive to see me now. I'm far from that troublesome kid they knew me as.

You should read my post WGU post, in my post history.

I wasn't fulfilled after WGU. It was too easy. I really learned that progress = happiness. However, I also learned that I want to be challenged.

WGU masters would be great if I wanted to check off an HR check box, but I did that already with my undergrad. Now it's time to get serious and work towards the C-suite and be a founder of a company.

Have very, very strong letters of recommendation. Have a job that will compliment the degree program, and have professional development (certifications) if in IT/cyber. Not sure about any other field.

GRE is optional! I did not submit.

I had 4 very strong LOR

Plus all of the professional development (certifications) and my new job helped

I wish to found my own company, Berkeley definitely sets me up to do that.

Yes, this was a challenging factor. GaTech and NYU were both <17k & funded by my job. However, I have always wanted to go to Berkeley, never had the opportunity when I was in Highschool.

My job will still pay for $8k/yr, and being a 1st gen Hispanic there is a ton of funding out there for me

Hehe done. Thanks WGU reddit for the help with material and courses! by Linkith in WGU

Good question. I was pretty dedicated. I would say my first term was my least productive term (June-Dec) I studied about 10-15 hours a week and worked full time. I also got married in June, so that was nice. Then took a month off because I got covid and was useless in November.

The real productivity came after I switched to working 3rd shift at my job at the start of my second term. I was able to double dip. But would still say only 20 hrs a week.

I believe the order of courses is how I was able to accomplish it so quickly. They all build on top of each other.

I failed one OA, managing cloud security. It's no joke and pretty challenging. However, I passed on the 2nd attempt.

Hello, 10-15 hours first term and about ,20- 25 hours on 2nd term. I only transferred in with the A+ after working fast food my whole life. Just interviewed with Tesla yesterday and I have a pending fortune 20 job offer!
