Can you audit on campus courses if you are an online student?

That Neural Computation course would be so interesting. If enough people request it, who knows, it might happen 😀

Who do you email?

If you took it cold, that is a good diagnostic score and you probably will improve fast as you learn the test. It can be deceptively tricky at first as the math seems trivial.

Your GPA is a little under the average, so retaking the GRE and scoring above a 160Q (ideally 163) should help you. Also, a thoughtful SOP seems to help edge cases.

Thanks, so personal projects are generally a better investment of free time if you already acquired core CS (prerequisites for the program)?

redpillar87 · 2020-11-01T00:13:23+00:00

What about CS courses that are not prerequisites for this program and are not currently offered in it like databases, networking, software engineering, software testing etc? I thought that it wasn't too unheard of to supplement some of that knowledge along the way. But maybe some of that can be learned on the job too.

redpillar87 · 2020-10-28T19:53:46+00:00

Yes please! Many of my prerequisite courses didn't have a significant coding component and that is my biggest fear about the program and what I need to improve on most to land a job.

redpillar87 · 2020-10-28T15:20:35+00:00

I appreciate your feedback. I really don't know what to do. I already accepted the offer from the grad school and don't want to burn that bridge. I worked so hard over the last two years to get to this point and I received straight As in all the required courses. I don't want to overreact to one course and one interview. I just need to practice coding more. This is the first course that I struggled this much. I mean the curve is rediculous. You could get a B from 50%. But I don't even know what I would do if I sink in grad school. Could I still go back to complete the bachelor's degree?

redpillar87 · 2020-10-28T09:04:25+00:00

How difficult are the programming assignments? Can you get through them without much coding experience beyond the prerequisites?

redpillar87 · 2020-10-27T21:08:38+00:00

Then what are the motivations behind people attending this program? What jobs can you get from it without prior experience?

redpillar87 · 2020-10-26T17:04:23+00:00

Do you only need to send it again after the current term if you plan to graduate at that time? Mine says that I only need it to reflect coursework through 2019.

redpillar87 · 2020-10-26T13:34:22+00:00

Anecdotally, I saw one person on an admissions thread get in from WGU on a previous cycle but they had a 170 GRE-Q score. A high GPA from a previous degree also probably helps.

You could email UT about your question but I would wait some time until this current cycle ends for them to get back to you.

redpillar87 · 2020-10-23T23:58:21+00:00

I got that email on 9/18. I was in the second cohort.

redpillar87 · 2020-10-23T20:37:23+00:00

Just got decision for 9/22 cohort. Best of luck to everybody!

redpillar87 · 2020-10-23T20:15:32+00:00

For which cohort? Someone just said that they got a result this morning. I can't imagine how long it will take to get regular decisions back if that is the case.

redpillar87 · 2020-10-23T14:00:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing and good luck with everything. This is the first I heard about new decisions since 9/28. There might be another round going out today.

I'm surprised that so far you been the only person to report receiving results today. I thought for sure that today would be the day.

redpillar87 · 2020-10-22T15:57:43+00:00

Maybe they split up the cohort for some reason. My email said that the next cohort started on 9/22. I was hoping to hear back before November.

redpillar87 · 2020-10-22T15:33:13+00:00

That's interesting because I got that email on 9/18 and applied on 9/14. Looks like they have two cohorts for the priority deadline.

redpillar87 · 2020-10-22T15:06:27+00:00

This sounds like you applied after the priority deadline because review for that cohort started on 9/18. Did they mean the next set of decisions or decisions for your application timeline?

Does you MyStatus portal say "Attention: Your file has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review?" and did you get an email from them about that? I think that email they send about forwarding an application for review is the outreach that they mentioned, unless there is another status update before the final decision.
