I've heard some discussion that because it's not clear where schools will be this fall and international students might be having visa trouble, many accepted in the current cycle might defer for next year. One of my masters programs said that they would accept deferrals, although another of mine said that reapplication would be necessary. So the applicant pool may be a bit unusual for the next cycle, regardless of a recession.
I've been working as a data scientist and would be happy to continue working as a senior/lead data scientist after the degree, but would also be open to more of a technical program manager kind of role afterward too.
Trying to decide between the following offers:
- Cornell Tech MEng in Computer Science
- Brown MS in Data Science
- UIUC MCS-DS
- USC MS CS (general track)
Anyone have thoughts on how these compare to each other, or have experience with these programs? Thank you!!
