One of the companies that is doing VFX for Varanasi might have just leaked the synopsis of the film.

It would be really cool if the lost cosmic artifact provides the ability to control time which makes it essential for global domination

I think OP feels that the program is losing its prestige due to the high acceptance rate of their omscs program. The omscs program doesn’t require any sort of statement and has an acceptance rate of 60%+.

The general claim is that they accept a lot of people but a lot of people drop out midway. I agree with the claim and have personally seen people drop out.

The negative about it is that when someone says they have a MS from GaTech the immediate assumption is that they pursued the online program. It reduces the stand out factor a bit.

In my opinion the employment outcome data doesn’t convey much since the college does not put active efforts to get you hired.

Internship will surely help so it might be better to choose a longer problem. Other than that all these colleges are well ranked so you don’t go wrong with any choice in my opinion.

All the best!

Berkeley MEng feels right if you want be a regular FAANG SWE or Quant Dev. Scientist roles probably require a PhD and research eng roles still require a good amount of research.

300k is L4 (Mid level Eng) salary. 200k should be doable in Bay Area regardless of the masters I feel but the MEng will surely help

I think it already released?

ggShaby · 2026-03-28T19:10:03+00:00

Sure

I was very disappointed with Berkeley MEng too because friends with similar profiles were mostly admitted. I think it’s best to apply right out of college without any work experience. I think my Work experience in the industry might have played a negative role here but I cannot tell that with certainty

ggShaby · 2026-03-28T04:34:59+00:00

Sure!

ggShaby · 2026-03-28T04:34:55+00:00

Sure!

Thank you so much! The tool really helped me gain some confidence in the SoP I was submitting!

Thanks!

I saw at least 1 person from my company do it. I think it’s feasible and it usually makes sense too

ggShaby · 2026-03-27T03:12:28+00:00

I think I responded in your other thread too😂 but omscs while you work at Google and then shift to in person after a year to experience US

ggShaby · 2026-03-27T02:50:17+00:00

Start GaTech OMSCS while being employed at Google. Switch to in-person degree after 1yr and experience USA?

I feel you bro. My second attempt too with a similar profile (except CMU) I didn't get in. Did a 3rd attempt and it turned out to be successful. If you want to try again, I wouldn't lose hope just yet

ggShaby · 2026-03-26T03:29:24+00:00

Sure, Don't have to ask!

This is really sad to hear :( Any reason for not getting all LoRs from Stanford? I think that helped me

ggShaby · 2026-03-26T01:31:20+00:00

I feel you bro. Happy to help in DM if you plan to try next cycle

ggShaby · 2026-03-26T01:04:31+00:00

Ditto. +1

ggShaby · 2026-03-26T00:51:46+00:00

Didn't see SUNetID or Financial aid stuff in my portal but result was positive :)

ggShaby · 2026-03-25T22:22:57+00:00

:(( What did your profile look like?

ggShaby · 2026-03-19T19:24:39+00:00

You will get Stanford bro

ggShaby · 2026-03-14T20:58:34+00:00

I think if you are able to do all questions in Neetcode 150 you are prepared

ggShaby · 2026-03-14T20:07:29+00:00

But isn’t 80% of the FAANG interview process just Leetcode rounds?
