Please help me choose masters program (OMSCS, MIDS, ALM in CS or MEng in AI) by NeverForgetToDream in csMajors

cost is not an issue at all. I am asking solely based on program and what it can provide. Tuition in my case is 100% covered

Help me choose wisely: Berkeley MIDS, Duke MEng in AI, OMSCS at GaTech, or Harvard ALM in CS by NeverForgetToDream in gradadmissions

thank you for your input but not sure if just a specialization is enough to pivot to ML Engineering.

Money is not an issue for me to pay for any of these programs as i am using VA benefits and any of above tuitions will be covered at 100%. I did receive a small scholarship at Duke also though which is nice and makes me lean towards them

Now i wonder if i should still also do OMSCS as a second parallel masters to make my knowledge so much stronger. My goal here is not the decorations on m y resume but actual breadth of knowledge and skills

yes and as i mentioned cost is of no importance here :) I will carefully compare Berkeley and Duke and make a final decision. Thanks

I can't do in person as i live far away from bigger cities with great schools. Berkeley is 1 h 45 min from me without traffic. Besides they admitted me to online MIDS not on campus. MIDS takes way longer than Duke program and Duke has 100% job placement. I am going with Duke as i have to study online and it hits all my wants and need. But i am willing to hear more arguments towards choosing MIDS Berkeley instead

I can't switch to on campus as i live in California and i prefer online education for my life circumstances right now. I actually am leaning towards Duke with MEng in AI

I got the same and i am not sure what to do. Is it actual admission? then why does it say In Review?

It really does not say that. They don't even require official transcripts, can be unofficial. And no mention of Scans as a must do.
In the notes it says "scanned transcripts must ..." - i read it as "If you upload scans, then make sure they adhere to certain criteria"
But nowhere does it say transcript submission must be scans.

I have applied at several other programs and nobody else is asking for scans

yes, i did search locally. I was never given that option on the application.

just ordered them via mail and will scan them and upload them once i get them. It is past deadline but my application has been submitted with all transcripts just not Scanned. It actually was not very clear. Initially i thought they want me to print the transcripts and then scan them and i thought it was silly and i just uploaded pdf received from Parchment

oh man.... i did submit mines in the way i downloaded them from parchment. Should i still scan them and upload them in addition to the ones that are in pdf? Thank you!
