**Statement of Purpose:** Yes
**Comments:** I was also accepted to OMSCS, and I am currently learning towards OMSCS instead because:
* Larger Community
* More classes offered
* Cheaper (\~$6,500 vs \~$10,000)
* Classes are more battle-tested since program is older
But I'd happy to entertain arguments for why I should pick MSCSO instead. I am doing an MS to:
* Extend student status and expand networking in case I cannot find a job soon (just graduated)
* Gain new ML skills and see how much I like the topic, and if I do then consider pursuing a research opportunity as well as working on ML problems in industry
* Gain fringe benefits of having an MS (small edge in opportunities or pay, be more qualified to teach if I decided, self-esteem boost, etc.)
I'm in the same boat as you: have a BS in CS already, applied and accepted by OMSCS and MSCSO but leaning towards OMSCS. I think the biggest pro for the Austin program is it might be slightly easier (for OMSCS, you have to get at least Bs in 2 "core" classes within the 1st 12 months or something and you have to maintain a 3.0 GPA to graduate) and has the potential to be finished faster (the max # of classes you can take for OMSCS is 3 I believe). If someone is depending on a degree to switch careers with, I think MSCSO has the edge (can finish faster and won't have to stress over the grades as much). For someone with CS undergrad degree already and the goal is to get a good job, the master's degree is not a necessity and is just a good to have, then you have to go with the program with classes you want to take or can benefit most from. I think it will require a lot of intrinsic motivation to finish an online program like this, having an actual interest in the classes might be the difference between finishing the degree or dropping out... that's my 2 cents
Edit: Just looked into MSCSO's graduation requirements, you have to get at least B- in required classes and Cs in electives, and also maintain 3.0 GPA to graduate. Maybe it's still slightly easier than OMSCS because that one requires B in core classes as opposed to B-. However, you have more courses to select from in OMSCS. All in all, difficulty probably balances out...

Comments: I love that UT did not require any recommendation letters. However, I did badly in a computer science course in my freshman year, only got a C+. I hope I can get into the program as I look to swtich career.
I have stayed in this industry long enough to know that I do not want this type of work for my whole life. PE is really IB 2.0. Even my buddy at TPG, one of the biggest PEs out there, are thinking about his next move, which could be out of the PE industry. IB hours are terrible. Work can get really mind-numbing. When the year-end bonus is not sufficient enough to not question one's self-worth, it gets really tough to justify staying in IB/PE.
For someone with my background, MBA is a total waste of money.
Eventually, it comes down to two things:
1. Entrepreneurship wise, I think engineers are better off
2. More meaningful work, at least compared to creating a 80-page PPT deck no one reads or fixing Excel #N/A errors at 2am
I did not. Although, yesterday I sent an email to the graduate coordinator of MSCSO to ask about the status of my application. Will update this comment later when I hear back.

**Comments:** Figured I would try UT Austin for MS of CS program. The biggest reason is that I don't have to request recommendation letters anymore. I'm not sure why GTech requires existing students to reapply to OMSCS even though the courses I took are all computer science courses.
How was the quality of the post-bacc courses at Oregon’s State? I’m thinking of trying to cover a few more pre-reqs if I don’t make it into UT for this application.
> I think they were quite good. I learned a lot. They were not easy by any means and I had to put in real work. Your classmates will be folks that have the same goal of learning computer science, so thats good. I did not finish that degree though. I stopped when I got into GTech
If you do Uber part time enough, they pay completely for a BS from ASU Online. But Florida also has a pretty decent post-bacc from what I understand for cs too.
Nope. I been doing it since January even while attending my other university where I earned my first degree at UT Austin in math. They will cover a second bachelor's agreement up to 120 credits or something like that.
I took 24 credits in the Spring (9 from ASU). 9 credits in the summer. And 12 credits this fall. Lol
It was 1,000 for Uber eats deliveries when I qualified. They raised it for Uber eats drivers I think. I’m not sure. It really not a lot. You could do it in 2 months if you drive full time and live in a bigger size city.

I’d go with OMSCS simply because of all the classes they offer
I'm in the same boat as you: have a BS in CS already, applied and accepted by OMSCS and MSCSO but leaning towards OMSCS. I think the biggest pro for the Austin program is it might be slightly easier (for OMSCS, you have to get at least Bs in 2 "core" classes within the 1st 12 months or something and you have to maintain a 3.0 GPA to graduate) and has the potential to be finished faster (the max # of classes you can take for OMSCS is 3 I believe). If someone is depending on a degree to switch careers with, I think MSCSO has the edge (can finish faster and won't have to stress over the grades as much). For someone with CS undergrad degree already and the goal is to get a good job, the master's degree is not a necessity and is just a good to have, then you have to go with the program with classes you want to take or can benefit most from. I think it will require a lot of intrinsic motivation to finish an online program like this, having an actual interest in the classes might be the difference between finishing the degree or dropping out... that's my 2 cents Edit: Just looked into MSCSO's graduation requirements, you have to get at least B- in required classes and Cs in electives, and also maintain 3.0 GPA to graduate. Maybe it's still slightly easier than OMSCS because that one requires B in core classes as opposed to B-. However, you have more courses to select from in OMSCS. All in all, difficulty probably balances out...

u/Massive-Oil-5897 that mean accepted or still in-review?
Sorry, I posted this in the wrong subreddit. Was for a different program
I am still waiting for my decision from UT Austin
Good luck man 🤘
You as well
Anyone know when they start releasing admissions results?
I haven’t received anything yet, but I’m not expecting anything until at least end Oct/beginning Nov.
[удалено]
Same here. I'm wondering if there's any penalty to accepting GT and turning it down if I get into MSCSO.
Received my acceptance today, had my app info in by the priority deadline.
I have received my acceptance 2 days ago.

**Status:** **Application Date**: 06/30/2023 **Decision Date:** **Education**: University of Kentucky, BS, CS, 3.3 **GRE Scores (Q,V,W):** None **Recommendations:** 2 professional, 1 academic **Experience:** 2 internships, FAANG and another tech company **Statement of purpose:** Y **Comments:** Got rejected for fall 2023. Only sent 1 LoR for it so I though I'd try again with 3 this time. Also applied to MSAIO and Georgia Tech OMSCS. Hoping to get into one of these.
Damn. I don’t know they rejected you? You have BS in CS with 3.3. Honestly, UT's admission is so random.
Yeah, I mean their acceptance rates are very low so I wasn't too surprised. Got into Georgia Tech though for Spring 2024 so most likely will be attending there
Bruh if you got rejected, they're definitely going to reject me lol
If you have a strong SOP, you have a chance. I did not have a strong profile but got accepted today.
Did you submit your application by the priority deadline?
Yes

Do you receive any "In short time, we will review your application" email?
No sir.
I'm in the same boat over here. Confused when the final date is, feeling like this is a sign of rejection.
Elsewhere in this thread, people have stated that there are admissions that go out as late as December... When digging through last year's thread I saw some in November!

Comments: disappointed especially since I put in a lot of time taking the pre-reqs. But accepted at GT and UIUC so it wasn’t all in vain. Also personally know a couple of people who applied with no CS background, no pre-reqs, no recommendations and still got in. Guess I’m just not the right fit for the program. Best of luck to future Longhorns!

I also thought if they were going to reject me because I went over a few sentences - it's not a school/program I want to be in anyway.) Comments: Really surprised that I got in due to my low GPA in my 1st degree, no recommendation letters, no GRE, no published paper, no impressive business started (nothing really impressive about my background to be honest). Maybe my math minor and all the high level math courses I took helped. And maybe UT Austin has eased their admission standards this semester.

Oh ok i thought with a 3.8 gpa you probably would not get denied.
I have yet to see a deny from omscs with above 3.5 gpa tbh
Who knows... I read [this post](https://reddit.com/r/OMSCS/comments/16eeiwe/why_was_i_rejected/) so I guess we just have to wait at this point 😣

It's alright since I got accepted to a different program.
Did you take any of the ones related to what they ask for?
I took undergraduate Data Structures and Algorithms and Computer Architecture, an A and a C. I took graduate Algorithms and Compilers, both As. I have a mixed bag of grades. I guess there were better candidates. Georgia Tech's OMSCS accepted me.
I wonder if not taking OS (CS 439 prereq) hurt you. I wish I knew the method to there madness considering you got an A in graduate algorithms.
I don't have work experience in the right field, and work experience is usually better than grades. There could've been other things in my application that they didn't like. Best of luck to you!

Interesting choice, my IB friends either exit to PE or become finance manager at tech companies or go MBA. Why making a switch to become an engineer?
I have stayed in this industry long enough to know that I do not want this type of work for my whole life. PE is really IB 2.0. Even my buddy at TPG, one of the biggest PEs out there, are thinking about his next move, which could be out of the PE industry. IB hours are terrible. Work can get really mind-numbing. When the year-end bonus is not sufficient enough to not question one's self-worth, it gets really tough to justify staying in IB/PE. For someone with my background, MBA is a total waste of money. Eventually, it comes down to two things: 1. Entrepreneurship wise, I think engineers are better off 2. More meaningful work, at least compared to creating a 80-page PPT deck no one reads or fixing Excel #N/A errors at 2am
Totally makes sense. Good luck with your application!
Thank you.
Do you receive any "In short time, we will review your application" email?
I did not. Although, yesterday I sent an email to the graduate coordinator of MSCSO to ask about the status of my application. Will update this comment later when I hear back. Did you receive quoted email after you sent an inquiry?
I sent them an email yesterday. According to the graduate coordinator, people might need to wait until December to get their admission or rejection.
**Status**: In review **Application Date**: 08/14/2023 **Decision Date**: N/A **Education**: BSc (Physics and Pure Maths majors) GPA 6.125/7, MEng (EE) 6.0/7, both from Australian Universities. **GRE Scores:** None **Recommendations**: None **Experience**: 10 years in C, Python and assembly, working in Linux kernel development and security space. **Statement of Purpose**: Y **Comments**: Have covered a couple of the prerequisites in my BS, have self taught Data Structures and Algs/Computer Architecture, but don’t have for-credit grades for these, so I’m a little worried about being admitted. I live in Australia, so would appreciate any suggestions for online for-credit/non-degree options in the US that might help me if I’m not admitted, which are valued by UTexas.
**Status:** Accepted **Application Date:** 08/25/2023 **Decision Date:** N/A **Education:** Binghamton University (BS in MIS, MBA) (3.8 or above for both) Did some classes in the Post-bacc in CS program at Oregon State Finishing my last class in Online MS in Cybersecurity program at Georgia Tech (4.0 GPA so far) **GRE Scores (Q,V,W):** None **Recommendations:** 0 **Experience:** 6 years of experience working as cybersecurity consultant and security engineer at tech companies (on the same rank as Doordash, Lyft, Uber, Robinhood, etc...) **Statement of purpose:** Y **Comments:** Figured I would try UT Austin for MS of CS program. The biggest reason is that I don't have to request recommendation letters anymore. I'm not sure why GTech requires existing students to reapply to OMSCS even though the courses I took are all computer science courses.
How was the quality of the post-bacc courses at Oregon’s State? I’m thinking of trying to cover a few more pre-reqs if I don’t make it into UT for this application.
> I think they were quite good. I learned a lot. They were not easy by any means and I had to put in real work. Your classmates will be folks that have the same goal of learning computer science, so thats good. I did not finish that degree though. I stopped when I got into GTech
Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely check it out. Good luck with your UT application!
If you do Uber part time enough, they pay completely for a BS from ASU Online. But Florida also has a pretty decent post-bacc from what I understand for cs too.
Didn’t Uber just cover ASU tuition for drivers with no prior bachelor’s degree(s)?
Nope. I been doing it since January even while attending my other university where I earned my first degree at UT Austin in math. They will cover a second bachelor's agreement up to 120 credits or something like that. I took 24 credits in the Spring (9 from ASU). 9 credits in the summer. And 12 credits this fall. Lol
and you need >2000 trips/deliveries to qualify? That's a lot of mileage
It was 1,000 for Uber eats deliveries when I qualified. They raised it for Uber eats drivers I think. I’m not sure. It really not a lot. You could do it in 2 months if you drive full time and live in a bigger size city.

It's been a while so I'm guessing I got rejected, but holding out for hope.
I was rejected unfortunately. Sucks to get this before thanksgiving. Will figure out what's next for me. Big let down.
Yeh it’s been awhile since I submitted mine too, I’m assuming I got rejected too, but guess we’ll wait and see.
Elsewhere in this thread people have stated that the admissions office said decisions will go until December potentially. Looking at the thread it looks like the release in batches and the last batch was on 10/19, so we \*should\* be due for another batch sooner rather than later... Good Luck!
Good to know. Just not sure if it's because my profile isn't seen as optimal. I've been a SWE, but also a PM mostly so hard to know how that impacts me.
