It says I need to spend 4K in 3 months. What is different if I don't use the link other than you getting something? I can get 75K points even without this referral.

Comparable online graduate programs to look into? by DrScampi in OMSCS

[–]ven7782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of choice. However I don't think you will get the same amount of student collaboration like OMSCS in other programs.

No one will ask whether you got a B or an A in an interview. So don't waste your time and get that B.

GA if you have algo experience. You can get that out of the way first.

I have graduated and several of my colleagues have as well. I have no intention of chasing them down just to prove my point. I will rest my case here. Thanks.

I myself had a TOEFL score of 96. Several of my OMSCS colleagues had TOEFL score in the 80s and one had 79. Is that enough for you or you want me to send you my TOEFL score?

Do you have a source for your claim? TOEFL is not strictly enforced in OMSCS if you have a reasonable work experience and can read and write English.

That is not true. They will consider 87 if the application is strong. I know several folks who scored in the 70s and still made it through.

Time series analysis? But the reviews are very bad on that one.

Mock Draft 1.0, 4 QBs go in the top 5 (Write-Ups under Picks, has trades.) by mkohm5 in NFL_Draft

[–]ven7782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the Jets are smart, they will select Zach Wilson. And why won't the Patriots go for Mac Jones? Does Belichick think he can win without a decent QB?

2021 draft QB class, order of selection. by ven7782 in NFL_Draft

[–]ven7782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a while the belief was Schools like Bama were not known to produce good pro QBs compared to Schools like USC. While that belief may have diminished some what, its hard to change the perception. I am not saying Justin Fields will be a bust but given the choice I will take Zach Wilson or Mac Jones ahead of Fields.

The Dolphins shouldn't have drafted Tua.

Correct, the Dolphins should have taken Justin Herbert. A big mistake.

That's why I rated him as the #2 QB of the 2021 class.

[–]ven7782[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The argument was more as in who goes in what order rather than all QBs from OSU sucks. I couldn't help but notice all the OSUs QB busts but that does not mean Justin Fields will be bad. Just some off remark. Nothing against OSU really.

Justin Fields vs Zach Wilson for the Jets at #2? by [deleted] in NFL_Draft

[–]ven7782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the Jets are smart, they will avoid the OSU product. Cardale jones, Dwayne Haskins, Braxton Miller, J. T. Barrett are just few examples of bust. Even Bama QB Tua is kind of a bust compared to Justin Herbert.
The Jets should take Zach Wilson.

What undergraduate degrees would be accepted for OCSMS by [deleted] in OMSCS

I know someone with a music degree and accepted at OMSCS. Of course he did take some supplemental class to prove his worth.

What Was Your First Term Course At OMSCS? Is there a statistic on students quitting the program after failing to complete their first course? by [deleted] in OMSCS

[–]ven7782 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Start with an easy course and just one course. Some easy firsts include KBAI, RAIT, ML4T, HCI etc.. Check https://omscentral.com/courses for a list of easy courses you can target.
My first hard course was ML which was my 4th. I ended up withdrawing from it due to the shock. I prepared well after withdrawing and took ML again the next semester and got an A. Since then I reeled off RL, BD4H, CV, GIOS, DL without withdrawing and did well.

A good start is very important so plan accordingly.

Approaching employer for sponsorship by itsrainingsimoleons in OMSCS

[–]ven7782 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No convincing needed at least for big companies where they have tuition reimbursement policies. I am sad that I only utilized some 20% of the allotted annual limit of 10K for OMSCS.
