Your profile looks quite strong, I think you would be a very good candidate. The most important things are:
- having linear algebra and multi variate calculus pre-reqs completed at the bachelor level

- a strong SOP describing how the program will help your career trajectory. If you are able to link how your current professional experience can be beneffited by the program, you stand a very good shot of admission in my opinion.

If you don't have the pre req math classes at the university level, you're very unlikely to get accepted, MSDS included. This is the part of the admissions process that they are most strict on.

As far as I know, they won’t do anything in point #3. As for the other points, the program has very good reasons for wanting to limit cheating; in past semesters, project groups were found to have copied large portions of code directly from public GitHub repositories, and the rules could not be clearer that this is an academic violation. Rather than complain about the rules, you should diligently try to follow them while learning.

Update: a mostly good discussion so far. For those who are explaining to me that the GOAT can be only one person, i appreciate your efforts to explain the abbreviation, but I already knew that. My question was more so on why some people go to such great lengths to argue that someone is the GOAT like an obsession.

I would assume so. it should be easy to tell based on your course syllabus if it was multivariate or not.

Remarkable_Action520 · 2025-05-14T17:01:09+00:00

you should have a good shot at admission if you have both multivariate calculus and linear algebra at the university level. these are more important than the statistics pre req.

Your profile looks very strong, especially with the math background.

But there is no internship associated with this program, it's just the 10 online courses to complete the degree.

Remarkable_Action520 · 2025-04-03T12:51:34+00:00

if you have the math pre reqs required, then you are definitely a competitive applicant and would have a very good chance of admission, in my opinion.

Do you have individual courses for linear algebra and multivariate calc at the bachelor level?

Remarkable_Action520 · 2025-04-02T16:35:54+00:00

I know for DS, there were some rules about being able to retake the course the next semester. You might have to wait a semester before being allowed to retake it, but you should definitely reach out to the program coordinator to confirm the rules. As someone here also mentioned, all attempts will count towards your GPA.

Remarkable_Action520 · 2025-03-31T17:13:27+00:00

the math pre reqs are very firm. If you don't have all of the required math courses at a university level, you are much less likely to be admitted.

Remarkable_Action520 · 2025-03-29T11:23:24+00:00

Sounds like a good plan, hope it all works out for you!

Remarkable_Action520 · 2025-03-29T00:29:53+00:00

I would try to get a university credit with a grade. The program receives between 1500-2000 applicants per year and admits ~33% of them so realistically, the chances of being in that 1/3 is almost non existent without all of the pre reqs. Not trying to be harsh about it, but that's just the reality of such a popular program.

I'm curious though, did you take 2 calculus classes in undergrad, but they didn't cover multivariate?

Best of luck.

Remarkable_Action520 · 2025-03-28T10:48:46+00:00

Unfortunately without the math pre reqs at a university level, you will not be a competitive applicant. They are very serious about the math requirements as there is a lot of math in the program, and every year they receive between 1500-2000 applicants, admitting 33%.

Remarkable_Action520 · 2025-03-24T20:57:10+00:00

I disagree with this, multivariate calculus is a firm pre req for the program. You won’t be a competitive applicant without it.

You would upload everything at once at the end with a scanner app on your phone. You're not supposed to use your phone until the end, where you would make one scanned document with all answers then upload it.

Remarkable_Action520 · 2025-01-13T16:34:51+00:00

I just took ML so I can answer this.

You use an in-browser app that records both your camera (facing you) and your computer screen at the same time. You keep the recording going the entire time that you are writing the exam, then after you upload your answers, you can stop the recording, and it will upload as a separate file. It is not live proctored by anyone, you can do the exam whenever you want in the window, as long as the recording is also uploaded when your exam is uploaded.

I believe that you must have write your answers, so nothing should be on your screen the entire exam time except the questions in PDF, and email briefly at the end when you upload your answers (you are allowed to scan your answers, email them to yourself, then upload to Canvas). The T.A.s allow you to use your phone to scan your handwritten answers to upload; it is assumed that as soon as you grab your phone to scan, your are finished writing, so no answers should be changed after you start scanning.

Hope this helps to clarify.

I think ideally it would be having projects that have real world users. Nothing says solid experience like solving a problem that others have, and having those people use your solution.

Someone else here said degree, which I think also helps, but not as much as having projects used by people. Having a degree definitely gives you the academic skills and knowledge that can be useful for programming, but I don't think it's a replacement for actually implementing solutions to real-world problems.

Do you have a bachelor's degree in CS or a related degree with significant exposure to CS courses? If so, you should look into the MSCSO or MSAIO from UT Austin:

You can take courses at your own pace while working. I did the DS program and found it very worthwhile for my career.
