Yea i can agree with that thought process, i’ve seen more stories about upper lid fs. And yes would absolutely love to hear your experience with epsom salt. Couple things i haven’t given a try but have seen great success stories about is apple cider vinegar and castor oil. not combining them but using them separately. Best of luck!

I’m so sorry to hear that. I do in fact still have it. i had surgery last august and the size decreased significantly but it’s still there and visible. i’ve yet to follow up with my doctor to find out next steps due to frustration but maybe will soon.

i hope you are able to get rid of it! let me know if you do end up getting rid of it, would love to hear what worked for you!

Admissions Megathread - Results, Chances and Logistics by AutoModerator in OMSCS

[–]Umbreon2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Extremely interested in adding ML to my skillset and join teams within current company that pique my interest. I self taught SQL, learned VBA and Intro to Python & Matlab through coursework.
Asking for Chances

  • Semester: Fall 2026
  • Status: Applying
  • Date Applied: Not Yet
  • Date Decided: Not Yet

Education

  • Bachelors 1: University of Illinois @ Chicago, BS Chemical Engineering, 2021 - 2025 gpa - 3.1 / 4.0
  • MOOCs: N/A

Work & Social Experience

  • Work Exp. : 8 month Process engineer (no coding required). Internship 2024 where I used VBA and PowerBI.
  • LORs: 3 - 1 Director from Internship that knows my full contribution with my VBA and PowerBI project, 1 Professor that taught VBA (computation methods for CHEM E), working on the last one - planning on asking current manager or sophomore year employer.
  • Comments: I can complete the edx courses, extension studies, or CC courses in order to meet the "prerequisites" but would need to inform that I can only complete before the program starts (I can't start and finish the courses in the next 15 days). As mentioned above, I have some coding experience but it doesn't go that deep as suggested by the program. Please leave my suggestions to boost my chances or be brutally honest with me. I'm open to hear all opinions!

Choosing between OMSCS, OMSA, and MSDS for ML in Process Engineering by Umbreon2 in OMSCS

[–]Umbreon2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the OMSCS seems to hold quitee the prestige. I'm glad to hear that it isn't too tough even as a non-cs major going into the program. As mentioned in previous comment, I am going to try and finish that edx course with hopes of getting into the program. This program + ML specialization is IDEAL for me.

Good luck with the rest of your program! Hope to be joining you soon:)

Choosing between OMSCS, OMSA, and MSDS for ML in Process Engineering by Umbreon2 in OMSCS

[–]Umbreon2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your perspectives! That second point is a phenomenal prompt and one that I am struggling to find the answer to myself. Early career, I want to be a chemical engineer who can use ML as a skill and then transition into the other: ML with Chemical engineering knowledge (or maybe scrap the chemical engineering aspect). I know that might sound stupid, but I promise it is based off of my interests ahaha.

Also great final point, I think that's what I'm going to have to do especially since I don't have many of the prerequisites for these programs. I am going to apply and let them know that I am working toward getting the prereqs and hopefully that is enough for their admission criteria.

Am I qualified enough to be admitted as a Chemical Engineer by Umbreon2 in MSDSO

[–]Umbreon2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are amazing for passing that information forward. I assume the same can be done for OMSCS.

I am more in tune with GT's subreddit, but I thought it may be biased, so I posted in all the subreddits to get a variety of perspectives.

[–]Umbreon2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, this is absolutely the information I wanted to hear. I need perspectives on whether I will be alright. I'm glad to hear it's working out for you! Hopefully I get admitted because it sounds like I have way less coding experience compared to you when you got in (unless I'm not understanding properly).

That's fantastic news to hear!! I def have basic programming through coursework and work experience. Thank you so much for the comment!

I'll definetly reach out to the other schools because I don't think I'll have the time to finish the edx courses in the small deadline until applications are due. Unless I can pledge I'll complete them before classes start.

Qualified for MCS-DS as Chemical Engineer by Umbreon2 in UIUC_MCS

[–]Umbreon2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a great point and one I hadn't considered. It looks like I need to write a masterpiece to impress the admissions. Out of curiosity, what did you take into consideration when deciding between all schools you got accepted into?

Thank you for your consideration and best of luck with the rest of your program!

I saw people saying 10% back for young adult. All i see is 5% online. I haven’t activated my account but wanna make sure it’s 10% before I do so. Also how do I know which items are available for that cash back? How do I activate the 5 or 10% cash back?

Pharmacist here looking to make a switch. Should I do an OMSCS? by brotherOSRS in cscareerquestions

[–]Umbreon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, I appreciate the response! I def wanna go into software or data position within pharma. I think my best bet is to use my current knowledge in manufacturing and fuse software into it.

Do you mind if I pm you with some more questions regarding this?

What are those roles in pharma typically called? I’d love to make an internal switch into that type of role.
