Hi This thread has been really informative; so thank you all for that. I have been offered admission to the MSPPM two year Pittsburgh track. It will be great to know some of your insights about a few queries I have regarding this course 1. I am an international student and I wanted to know the ROI on this course since it is non-STEM 2. I read somewhere that the MSPPM course won't benefit if one does not have prior knowledge of data science and programming languages since it is not something that can be taught in as little time as Heinz devotes. Is this true? I have humanities background so will I be able to cope with the course and be at par? 3. I wanted to know if there is a way to negotiate for further financial aid without competing offers. I have been wait-listed at a couple of places but haven't received final admits from any anywhere other than Heinz. Any and all suggestions are welcome
