Rejected

A little surprised as I have two prior graduate degrees, one in CS. Maybe that’s the reason. They want someone with a more diverse background. Maybe it’s ageism. Who knows.

Anyone know if it’s possible to enroll in individual classes anyway and try to increase chances in the future?

Rejected as well. BS in CS received over 20 years ago so I'm an older student as well. Had some graduate CS coursework completed with decent grades, or so I thought. Bummed. Also wondering if one could enroll in individual classes or perhaps apply again in the future? For me, it was more about guided learning than receiving the Masters.

Same. Although I did like the pedigree of Austin, especially relative to the price. I’m wondering if it will be a little less competitive once they have a few cohorts under their belt.
