Hi Sam! Coming from r/OMSCS, and I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your channel. Videos like these are super helpful for prospective OMSCS students who don't have a traditional CS background. I'm taking CS courses at my local CC and loving it, so to see you have the same path is inspiring to me. 4/5 of your class-specific videos so far are courses I'm considering taking, so it's been very helpful to hear your thoughts. Will you be making videos for each course that you took? I'm really interested in hearing about your experience with HPCA and GA. Congrats on graduating!
That’s awesome! My goal is to release a new course review every week in the order that I took them. So it will be Intro to Information Security, High Performance Computer Architecture, Global Entrepreneurship, Graduate Algorithms and finally Digital Marketing
Did you feel like you learned any technical skills in this course? I think I took a similar course at another university and also felt it was somewhat light but focused much more around the decisions in coding and working with others. Thanks for the uploads!
Subscribed, very useful! Sam, could you speak regarding how to craft your resume? I have a resume for my current job as a Product Development Engineer, but I need more guidance on how to gear it towards the OMSCS application
Hey Alan! For OMSCS, the most important thing is highlighting academic CS experience. That could be CS courses, CS research, etc. Secondarily, non-CS academic experience (research, scholarships, awards, TAing) and professional CS experience (software development) are also useful. Hope that helps!
Would you recommend this as a good foundational course option as a first class in the program? I am drafting a course plan but I have a mix of hassles like with my previous comments, mainly around math prereqs for other courses and I want to kind of ease into the program before tackling another course that I am more interested in. I saw that this course fills up quickly so unsure about that as well.
I do if you have minimal software development experience. Like you mention, this course is harder to get, which is a bit of a shame, but it is a good option for a first course if you can get it
hii thats great!. I'm going to take SDP In fall semester soon!. hows it going in the program so far?. I have similar background (Mech). But I learnt some coding before. Hope you have good day!
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm going to take this course in Fall2024. Is the team-formation completely random, or they take into consideration the students' preferences?

This is really valuable as a person with non CS background interested in the OMSCS. Thanks for sharing your experience views!
Happy to hear!

Technical skills, not really. Like you mention, it was more about how to design software and work with a team

@@sam_cant_code Great, thank you! So I should be highlighting more in details the Projects related to CS correct?
You got it!

Enjoy! It's a light but fun course. I actually just graduated from OMSCS in Spring 2024, so I'm enjoying all the extra free time I have 😄
@@sam_cant_code cool!. um if you dont mind can we share linkedin or something

It was random when I took it
