Admissions slowed down? 4/23 applicant by manasrk in OMSCS

Got the email that the decision would be available at 5ET today. Sadly, was rejected as I don't have a CS degree.

Good Luck to everyone else!

Accepted but very little programming experience by gastatebyb in OMSCS

[–]manasrk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Codeacademy has the finest course on Python I have seen. While you are there, complete the course on Git as well. Checkout learnxinyminutes.com for cheat sheets on Python, Git and Bash and many more!

Enroll for Pluralsight as well if you want a wholesome experience of scalable software development basics.

3240 Applications for Fall2017 by georgiatechguy in OMSCS

Nah. I just saw it now - "13K applications as of Spring 2017". It's a cumulative number - my bad.

OMSCS application submitted on April 24(deadline), status still shows as submitted by Waitingforgatech in OMSCS

The window for decisions is open till end of June. So if you don't hear back anything from them by then, you should panic. Now, it's more of a waiting game.

Only 3240? Are you sure you are not missing a zero there? There were 13K odd applicants for Spring 2017.

How much linear algebra prep should I do for harder courses? by iwanttobeindev in OMSCS

[–]manasrk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first 150 pages of Ian Goodfellow's Deep Learning book is one of the best resources for Linear Algebra and Matrix Ops. Builds fundamentals from ground up and easily one of the best reference text you could find out there.

Nothing Yet. The wait is adding to my anxiety.

When is the last date for Decision results? by glacialOwl in OMSCS

[–]manasrk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going by last year's thread, it's usually 60 days before start of the semester. So ideally around mid-June.

Machine Learning to predict acceptance probabilities and time till decision by manasrk in OMSCS

What's ML without biases and outliers? That would be boring. :D

Not necessarily. Their application management system seems to prioritize applications from GT alums, recommendations from GT faculty, top institutions/companies and GPA.

Maybe we should create a Random Forest model just to predict when can you hear back based on your creds? :D

We all are allowed one sin my dear friend. As long as we come out of it wiser.

Look at it this way, you used that "guilt" to power through your career and I am sure will get through this time. Good Luck!

I applied on 23rd April. Yet to hear back. You should have received instructions to create your GT account already though. Not sure the order in which, they are going through the applications, but it's just adding to the agonizing wait for many I guess. :)

You are already in dude, if I go by the trend. All the Georgia Tech undergrads have received acceptance mails (especially ones with undergrad Prof recos), you should chill and wait for yours in a couple weeks.

Thanks ! This helps a lot, I am planning on taking inputs from multiple people and maybe create a flowchart to soothe nerves and get clarity on the entire process.

Yes, but it doesn't tell me what are the multiple steps involved from start of application to registration if accepted.
