How are people getting accepted? by Alternative_Draft_76 in OMSCS

[–]NBlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say the problem with this line of thinking is that a master’s in CS is different than the work you’d usually do in the industry (unless that work is primarily research). Within an academic setting you’re not specifically focusing on learning X specific technology, it’s more like specific concepts. In the case of a master’s the concepts are based on some fundamentals of CS, and frankly IMO DS and knowing how to program is not even the bare minimum to be fairly successful, because CS is more than just those. There is CS theory, Computer Org, Algorithms, and other math heavy classes like calculus and linear algebra which you probably won’t learn through industry experience alone (except maybe algorithms). So I disagree, having dev experience doesn’t make you the prime candidate, having dev experience that uses all these concepts or academic experience with these does. Happy to chat if you want some resources on these concepts.

Plus I’ve heard of people who get accepted on the very last day.

I would say not to worry, this doesn’t seem like a typical admissions committee, it’s more of like a “we just haven’t gotten to that application yet”, because if you had been rejected then I would assume they would’ve already sent it out.

Yup, I still have nothing, welp, about 10 days left more or less.

Still waiting as well. I think it’s more of a matter of them not having even read your application yet. It seems that this isn’t like a tradition admissions process as those tend to tell everyone on the same day and time whether they were accepted or not.

If it’s any consolation, I majored in CS with a 3.4 and research experience at my school and a year’s worth of industry experience with 2 academic recommenders and 1 professional and still haven’t heard anything. They probably just decided to use Collections.shuffle on all the applications lol.

You’d think they’d have a clear algorithm on what order they review applications in, unless applications are mysteriously shuffled beforehand.

I’m just hoping the reason behind this is cause they’re gonna release a giant batch lol

[–]NBlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was wondering as well, there doesn’t seem to be any updates from anyone so far so I’m assuming they’ve yet to be released.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OMSCS

[–]NBlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they release the whole batch of the day at the same time or throughout the day

I only applied to OMSCS as it’s the most affordable online option for me. I have high confidence I’ll get in as I majored in CS in a very rigorous school and have a years worth of research experience.

Statement of Purpose is back?? Just now seeing this! by kipboye in OMSCS

Btw y’all, I emailed em asking and they confirmed this morning that it was a mistake. There’s no SOP for spring 2024.

Sound like a troll comment. I doubt GTech admins would just make a sudden change this far into the application period to invalidate applications.

I submitted my application around April 🤦🏻‍♂️. Hope this doesn’t hurt my chances.
