I studied Liberal Arts for my undergrad and have concentrations/minors that have nothing to do with Information Technology or Computer Science, but I have done some IT related coursework after graduation, my post-transfer GPA was a 4.0, community college GPA was a 3.949. I did not take the GRE. I have been working at a Fortune 100 company for several years in the IT sector. I voluntarily transitioned into a data analyst role at my company this year and have been enjoying the analysis work, which led me to apply for this program (online MDS). I received my acceptance, rejected my other two offers (including one from Boston University's Metropolitan College), and I will be attending this program. This program is project-oriented and goes in-depth into data science and artificial intelligence concepts (online MDS, the on-campus program is likely to be different), which was the perfect fit for me and my goals.

I studied Liberal Arts for my undergrad and have concentrations/minors that have nothing to do with Information Technology or Computer Science, but I have done some IT related coursework after graduation, my post-transfer GPA was a 4.0, community college GPA was a 3.94. I did not take the GRE. I have been working at a Fortune 100 company for several years in the IT sector. I was given full admission into the Data Analytics concentration without needing to take the prerequisite course. Though I initially accepted admission, I deferred, then rejected, my admission as I got into a different program at BU that was more relevant to my career goals. I agree that admissions likely cares more about work experience but I received a $3,000 merit scholarship as well.

Waitlisted on 3/15; Accepted off the waitlist with scholarship offer

This is Boston Metropolitan College, they do not base admits on marks and base them only on professional achievements and accolades, which would explain my low GPA admit into BU.

I know I said this before, but this is literally the end of this circle for me.

Accepted off the waitlist

Ignore status. I have declined the offer from BU, Cornell. Good luck to those on the WL!

Just rejected BU's offer. Hope it helps someone here. Good luck!
