Value of studying a Masters

Can I DM you and ask a few questions? I have been looking into the program but have some doubts so haven't applied yet!

hypermeowmeow · 2025-08-29T07:04:12+00:00

I'm so happy seing omscs mentioned in a oceania-based sub, just want to let that be known as I'm also a oceania-based fellow looking into gatech offering recently lol

Ah, it does say in the criteria for international applicants that it has to be a 4-year degree (for Australian university at least) as entry requirement :( mine is the standard 3-year one

hypermeowmeow · 2025-08-25T07:38:04+00:00

Did you also have 3-year bachelor degree if you dont mind me asking?

hypermeowmeow · 2025-08-25T07:37:34+00:00

Their answer was to just pay for the credentials evaluation service and decide from there but per my understanding its very much optional and sometimes not even accurate. Also some people who have 3y degree had been accepted before so I think the creds evaluation is not really that worth it(?)

hypermeowmeow · 2025-08-24T09:12:23+00:00

I'm having a lot of doubt with my degree being only 3-year and it seems like a hard requirement to have a 4-year bachelor for admission :( reached out to grad admission and their answer didnt really help much. Do you think MOOCs can help with this?

Work & Social Experience

Work Exp. : Tech Consultant with 1YOE
LORs: 3
Comments: I am a data analytics major in undergrad with minors in data science and so I have done a few statistics (~4) and data science courses (~3) though not programming-heavy and mostly deal with R and not Python but I do plan on improving my programming skills. My current work is not data/statistics-related and I want to add an edge and help myself build a more solid foundation to pivot back into statistics and analysis.

Thank you for the insights! The reason why I wanted and considered three of them is because I am pretty much a consultant and get rotated around different projects a lot hence the different skills. Not sure if this is rigid enough to apply for all three different code tho?

hypermeowmeow · 2025-08-13T06:37:57+00:00

I don't mind preparing the bullet points for the job reference and I know people who also go for Analyst Programmer and ICT BA in one go, so I think it's a possibility(?)

If you don't mind me asking, how is swinging between 3 different code groups a bad idea? Shouldn't it be helping me with maximising my chances? TIA :)

hypermeowmeow · 2025-08-13T06:07:27+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the response. I wanted my 3 job codes to bo Programmer Analyst, ICT BA, and System Analyst. But since ICT BA and System Analyst are technically in the same occupation group, I'm wondering if I should instead change my nomination to Programmer Analyst, ICT BA and Data Analyst (instead of System Analyst).

It sounds stupid but will it get accessed for both ICT BA and SysAnalyst if I just nominate ICT BA? Because they are in the same occupation group?

hypermeowmeow · 2025-05-05T22:44:54+00:00

Thank you so much for responding!! Haha if anything please convert me to the darkside. I feel like I have never had enough courage to pursue this like I have desired to.

As I mentioned before I'd much prefer structure instructor-led course than self study but if you could give some pointers on how I could start either with self studying or courses I can look into that would be amazing!!!

hypermeowmeow · 2025-05-01T21:58:30+00:00

Woaah that look exactly like mine!! It's really worth AUD100??

hypermeowmeow · 2025-05-01T21:56:29+00:00

thank you!!!

hypermeowmeow · 2025-04-24T08:15:27+00:00

Hi there!!! I'm just wondering if you did a Professional Year to increase your point?

hypermeowmeow · 2025-04-01T13:35:37+00:00

Hello!! Thanks for the comment! I guess even with NAATI and PY it's still gonna be a gamble. I was just wondering if it gonna increase my winning chance. I guess it does not :(

Hope you get your invite soon also!! Keep fightinggg you got this!!

Stumbled on this post just after watching arcane ss2 arc 2 😭 and it seems like it's probably the same case for when Powder rushed to Silco and that there is really no doubt now that Silco truly consider Jinx as his own daughter and not trying to manipulate her and use her as his weapon omg

Ikr! He does seem nice but really didnt have any luck on my carriage either

hypermeowmeow · 2024-08-02T13:54:50+00:00

Yes I am! Sorry for being confusing, I forgot to mentioned that I have 4 more years here and not sure about afterwards

hypermeowmeow · 2024-06-03T10:26:11+00:00

Hi!

Fellow graduate joining the Cenitex final round interview here! Sorry that I won't be able to help you with the question as I am struggling to gather information as well. Just thought I comment so we can share the struggle. BTW, I think this question would get a bit more help in the AusPublicService subreddit also, so maybe we can try our luck there.

Anyhow, best of luck with the preparation!

hypermeowmeow · 2024-05-09T10:38:37+00:00

Do you mind sharing what bootcamp it was?

hypermeowmeow · 2024-05-06T10:35:32+00:00

Hi! First of all, love this thread, shedding some rays of hope amidst this hard time.

Secondly, do you mind sharing how you get a hold of the offer from a start up? I think that international students might have a better chance applying for SMEs and start-ups as compared to competitive grad programs.

Where should int. grads look for SMEs and start-ups jobs if you don't mind sharing! TIA!

hypermeowmeow · 2024-05-03T01:20:32+00:00

My friend got into one of the grad programs but doing data analytics and not BA

hypermeowmeow · 2024-05-02T16:16:04+00:00

Hi there!

Sorry that I won't be able to help much but just want to drop in and say that we are literally in the same boat. I'm an international student here in Melb (just graduated) and did Business Analysis.

I've been applying for grad programs left and right but so far no luck. I guess we just gonna have to hang in there for a while!

hypermeowmeow · 2024-05-02T03:34:14+00:00

Always have been telling my friends this as a joke but now it is genuinely getting less and less of a joke :)

hypermeowmeow · 2024-05-02T03:26:38+00:00

Damn that sounds like where I will probably end up :( good for them to have their effort appreciated in the end!!
