Lots of respect for failing two courses in first semester and hanging in there.

Someone finally did a KZfaq video about this program. Thank you for this!

I'm halfway through the program myself. I majored in Electrical Engineering in undergrad, so there was a lot of ground to cover before I was prepared for the program. Still can't believe how good of a deal it is!

That's an amazing transition- creative writing to computer science!

Wow so glad someone who’s completed the program is posting up videos online ... hope to see more about OMSCS from you as I start my first class this Fall!

Just got accepted to the program and really needed this video, thank you !!!👍

Great share! I appreciate you being so open about getting bad grades at first, as well as how you were able to improve the situation and what was causing the struggle. Very honest of you!

Thank you so much for this video! I will be starting in Jan 2021 and I know I will watch this video several times. Thanks for the tips too!

Dude, props for talking about failing your first two classes. I couldn't imagine the mental stress that put on you! I'm not going to lie, you scared me with this video.

Seems like a fair trade off. Be easily admitted into a top ten CS degree, but in turn, as long as you can get through their gauntlet of weeder courses, you end up with a prestigious degree coming out. My guess is that there are a lot of low quality students being admitted into the program, and therefore the school needs a way to filter out in order to have a degree thats still worth something to employers and graduates of the program. Conversely, for some schools that are harder to get into, the grading scales tend to be more lenient, even though the material was intense. For example, I have taken computer science courses at another top tier institution for undergrad, and even though the courses were difficult, and half the class were getting below 70% from the TA's (including myself), the grading curve was adjusted in the end by the professor so that the lowest grade in the course was a B average. The only difference is that all of the students at this institution were considered "high quality" so I guess I was lucky to be in a college could that that had the flexibility of doing this.

Though this video is old, i'm having a really tough time ramping up to the speed of OMSCS. I am failing my first two courses as well, and this give me inspiration to keep going and work harder the following semester

Hey Moss, great video. Would be awesome to see more info on the individual courses - I'm also a non-CS guy and are starting in the fall

Thank you very much for making this video! It's interesting to hear from your perspective.

Amazing story thank you for sharing! I am considering a BS in CS but I always look way ahead and already looking for masters program. 🤓

Wow such an honest man! I admire you, and your hard work! 😄

Thanks for the honest review! Congrats!

I really admire you tenacity and drive! I am 5 courses in and this video helped me.

I got rejected the first time. Had bachelor in Chemistry with software developer experience. Rejection letter said to take some CS fundamental courses like Datastructure, discrete mathematics and Computer organization.

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate all the honest advice and feedback

Really informative video mate !! Keep them coming Bro.

Thanks for the video! I'm applying for UT Austin MS in Computer Science Online and I'm glad to hear about your experience. I'm pumped!

Great info man. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your experience Moss. This is going to help me make wiser decisions!

This gives me hope, my bachelors is in english lit, but I am really interested in this field. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your experience in the program.

Great breakdown! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, this is heavy and amazing! I like real world applications. I am a CS and math minor graduate. Congratulations!

Oh, and BTW, I saw your course on Udemy, and found it really interesting, because as a new in this field, there are so many tools that I sometimes feel where to lean on or what to do with them.

Thanks for sharing! Great advice!!

Thank you. Very realistic and informative video.

This is awesome, thank you!

Thank you for sharing! I plan to start the program this fall. Still trying to decide between computing systems and machine learning. Seems like there are way more traditional software jobs in Atlanta than machine learning, but Im more interested in machine learning.

thanks for sharing this!!

Thanks for this information..

dude just got accepted. thanks for the information man.

I am admitted by GT-Shenzhen's MS CS (almost the same as OMSCS) and looking for advice for that. Many thanks for your valuable video!

Anyway you could share those assigments...🙃🙃

I'm in OSU post-bacc program and I'm struggling with discrete math, so it helps to know that you failed your first 2 classes (sorry that you failed, but you succeeded in the end).

Thank you for sharing your story! Sound can be made more hd please

Thanks, from Peru

Great video and congratulations on completing the program! I was wondering what your undergrad GPA was and how that impacted your application, and also any prerequisites you may have had to complete before matriculating into the program. Thanks!

1) So, I guess this program is easy on Mathematics. Is that correct? 2) Also, what programming languages did you use for coding projects? You mentioned C. 3) I read in the comments that most assignments/homework/tests were from the study material and not from outer universe. Is that correct? If the answer to all 3 of my questions is "Yes", I guess I am excited. Lol. BTW, Thanks for the great video. Very production. No BS, no beating around the bushes. Just good content.

Hey Moss, thanks for sharing your experience! I wonder if the 2 foundational courses that admitted students must take at the very beginning are part of the total of 10 courses included in the OMSCS program.

Thank you for sharing your story. Looking back, what would you have done differently?

Great, and congrats on completing the program. I am in my 7th course so far and your video is very helpful. 3 classes for me more to go. I just created a new video about my experience in the program so far and gave my own perspective. Since you graduated, did completing the program have any positive impact for you so far? for me, it seems I get a lot of interview request from linkedin.

How has this degree helped you for your career after you graduated?

Very informative video, thanks for sharing! Did you have any programming experience before starting the OMSCS program? What skills/languages did you have to learn on the fly?

I am a little apprehensive about applying because I have no background in computer science. You mentioned in your video that you worked full-time while pursuing your masters degree. Which company did you work for and do you know of any tech companies that pay for their tuition?

Hello, very useful video, i have a question... does the transcript or diploma shows that it was an online masters degree?

In any of the courses, did you have to write mathematical proofs?

Did you actually get in, without doing any of the MOCCs or taking any courses before applying?

So I just applied. Is there some recommendations to prepare for intro to Graduate Algorithms?

Great summary thanks for sharing your honest experience. How are things going in your career now ?

Hello, I have got a F last semester and impacted my GPA to around 2.9. Can you please help me how to petition for graduation? What are legitimate reasons for filing a petition?

lol noot my ba being in crw. I'm getting another in cs but I don't think I'll go for a masters

I have completed Bachelor of Business Adminstration & Post Graduation Diploma in Computer Application Himachal Pradesh University Shimla I am eligible for Online Master in Computer

I'm 7 courses in come Fall2020. My first was GIOS and I'm really keen on Computational Photography and AOS but with the studying from home with kids during the Covid19 lockdown in my country, I'm considering lightening my load. You aced AOS so I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the course, compared specifically with GIOS. I have a limited number of courses left to me and I have to be extremely selective now ...

Thank you very much for info. Can you tell me please how many hours per week you it took from you.

Hi Moss. Thank you for sharing your experience. It's very informative. I have a AA in Computer Science and a BS in IT - Software Development and my work experience spans 5 years as a software engineer. Do you think I have a good chance of getting accepted to the program?

Well done 👍

Thanks for sharing! If you take one class per semester, how many hours are you watching/attending class per week? How interactive is it? Is there easy access to teachers or are you kind of on your own? Thanks!

Thank you so much for this! You mentioned that you had found a job as a DevOps engineer prior to getting in the program. How did you get without having prior experience in computer science. Thanks in advance for your help!

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. Do you have a link of the courses you took to complete the degree?

Uiuc vs omscs if u take out cost which one to take?

how to start to class meeting

Hi there! Which computer programming languages would you recommend being familiar with?

Hey , Hello , I have a question if u could answer it about mscs online , i have bachelor degree in applied computer science 3 years with 3.3 gpa from uof winnipeg , i wanna pursue master , i want to ask if any us university accepts 3 years for masters??

Good content! I’m about to start OMSCS coming from non-CS background. You shared your GPA, would you mind also sharing what grades you got per course so I can get an idea of course difficulty?

Can you take the prerequisites at goergia tech? Can you transfer credits from community college? and also can you do an internship even if it's an online school?

Hi Moss, is hard to balance full day job and study at Georgia Tech online masters? And on average how many hours you had to spend daily, considering that you had a full time job too?

Hey Moss , Hope you're doing well. I am starting omscs and I just wanted to know about the exam difficulty. Are the exams based on what is taught in class and in home works? or they seem completely new and unheard or unseen before?

I'm applying to both the online MS and in-campus MS at GA Tech and UT Austin with no computer science background for the most part (minus a class or two and teaching myself on my own). Do you recommend taking some classes before enrolling in the program? If so, what classes do you recommend?

Hey Moss, thank you for the info. I wanted to ask, how much coding did you learn in this program? Would you be able to get a job as a full-stack, back end or front-end developer after finishing this program? I want to be a software engineer and debating between GT coding Bootcamp and CS Masters. Thank you.

great video! I'm considering to apply to the same program. I don't have CS under graduate, but I'm working software development since 2019, so I think is enough to try the program, right? At least 1 course por semeter.

Sir , i have 3 years bachelor degree in cs , will i be able to get the admission into Georgia tech??

Hey! I majored in Computer Engineering in undergrad but haven't had a lot of coding experience and i've never built huge programs. I'm starting in the fall as an in person student to get my CS masters in ML. Do you have any recommended courses do begin with to get used to the CS work load and some courses that are not too hard so i can get used to coding big programs and then take harder classes? And what do you think should be the pre-required skills that i need to do good in the class? I appreciate the help! Great Video!

Thank you for this insight. My question is about students that graduate from CS but has no work experience. DO they have a chance to get in? and how hard can it get to someone like that? I know that is not your case, but you might have an idea.

Hi, thank you very much for making this video. It is really helpful. I have a question. You mentioned that if we take 1 class/semester, it would take about 3 years to complete the course. So, we would be taking 6 classes in 3 years. But you mentioned that we need to complete 10 classes to graduate. Can you explain this part?

Hi Moss, Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I applied earlier this year and got Rejected for not having CS degree and not providing evidence of significant work experience in the field. So, I want to ask you what exactly did you do to get accepted the second time you applied (other than the DevOps role)? Did you take courses prior to re-application?

Lots of respect for the video. I'm mizan from Bangladesh. 26 year old. I’m a full stack web developer. Furthermore, I joined in 2016 in the web programming. I learn web programming without any degree or studio. I achieve complete success in web programming in 2020 from Udemy and internet. Then I try to find out the best freelance marketplace to show my amazing skills. I joined in Fiverr in 2020. I completed 400+ project in Fiverr. Right now, I'm available on Envato market. I sell my own product on Envato market. Right now, I interested completed Master's in Computer Science. Because I need to improve my skills to higher level. Can you guide me how I join to Master's in Computer Science? Furthermore, I not have any degree or studio certificate. Thank you, I will be happy for your help.

Thank you for the information, I am wondering if i need to have a toelf certificate for apply to the online master considering that i am a foreign student?

What if you do school work full time? How many classes could someone with a CS degree handle in one semester?

If you have computer science background I would say get an associates or if you have money, do a postbacc. Tufts and Oregon State are the most popular but expensive. Georgetown has one but it’s EXPENSIVE BIG MONEY EXPENSIVE. I graduated in August with a sociology bachelors from UVA. I’ve been enrolling into boot camps but I don’t see the pony if you don’t take Calc, algebra, data structures or discrete mathematics. So I decided to get a second bachelors at UMGC… too expensive. My community college UDC has a whole associates computer science degree for 6k. 60 credits of math and computer science classes for 6k? Yeah I’ll just apply to masters later. Montgomery college also has one for cheap as well! I’m doing their Java developer and Data Science certificates. I’ve been watching a lot of videos and some people do just take two years to take prerequisites and then do a masters. I’m getting oracle, python and Java certified before applying. Good luck to everyone on this journey. It’s a marathon, not a race. You’re going to have to learn a lot because things in this field change everyday.

Respect ! . Did you also get chance to attend convocation ceremony on premise ?

Do you think its really difficult oms in tech university and how many semester per year ?

Great video. Where does one get one-on-one tutoring? Does the school offer options?

Hi Moss, I'm in a similar situation with an F in one subject. Can you tell more details about what academic probation is and how I can stick in the program and not get kicked out? I'd really appreciate if you have any tips?

How did you get the devops engineer job?

Avoid this program if you're working a fulltime job more than 40 hours a week. Cost should be your last concern.

Hello, I see that the program has 3 options: Course Option, Project Option, Thesis Option. Can you explain more about these differences? How to choose the good one?

After completing the program, did you identify a new career target / or have you already moved to a new job or promoted to a more advanced job?

Did you have to take any additional math that was not covered in your Bachelor's degree? Math such as Calculus and Discrete math?

How to get into online masters do we need to have tofel or gre marks for admission in online master

I have a question. In a 3 or 4 credit course, how many hours of videoconferencing (lessons) per week are there?

Ive got Python coding background (involved in my calc based physics classes and an actual CS class on it in undergrad), and major in engineering physics and minor in math. How do you think I would do in this program? I see that you did not have CS background prior to the grad program. Any tips on also getting admitted into the program?

How much time per week you think?

Can I do this course after bba ?? I am from India..And is this course worth taking??

creative thinking

"I got 2 F's" ... do they let you withdraw from a class and get a W?

Is there also a commencement for students who completed an online deegree?
