Hello -
I graduated from a US university (US citizen) with a non-technical degree, but with a good GPA (3.7). I am finishing up the CS foundation courses that are typically required by MSCS programs (Discrete math, data structures, operating systems, etc) and I have a good GPA in those courses as well (3.6, should be higher by the time I finish). I do not have any publications or research experience.
I do have a few years experience as a Systems Administrator and a few years writing code © on a contract basis.
If I perform well on the GRE (70% or higher in each section), will I be competitive for the terminal degree Masters programs? I'm interested in programs such as Cornell M.Eng, UIUC's professional MCS, Washington University MCS and others like them. I do not have any interest in earning a PhD. My concern is that my lack of technical bachelors degree, even with the post-bachelors CS courses, will cause my application to be rejected.
Any comments?
Thanks
