Hey sorry to hijack a comment, I saw your comment elsewhere about the Georgia Tech's MS Computer Science being a waste of time and I was curious to learn a bit more about your experience.

I'm currently considering the online masters but still was curious to your experience if you don't mind. Reply here or an email would be appreciated



Sorry for the late reply - What questions do you have? For the record, my undergrad was CompE. I entered GT's MSCS on campus program (before OMCS came out) and was appalled 1) by the reliance group projects, and 2) the low skill of my peers. The caliber of student in MSCS is not great. Most can barely code at all and I got tired of carrying the groups I was in. So after a year in the program I switched over to Electrical and Computer Engineering. Much better program. I was only able to do that because I had a bona fide engineering BS from an accredited school.
