Hey guys,
So I've graduated college, worked for a year in finance, have gone back to take classes and am really enjoying CS. I've only taken the intro class but have done a bunch of self-study and am doing this program in the fall / spring:
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/webapps/content/academic/graduate/pac
It's intended as a bridge to a MS for those without sufficient background. I'm trying to figure out what else I should take in the fall or spring to make myself competitive for an MS.
Here's my background so far (majored in phil in college fwiw):
Top 20 LAC:
Calc II: A
Linear Algebra: B+
Non-HYP Ivy:
Multivariable Calc: A
ODE's: A
Intro to Programming: A
Real Analysis: B
I can take any undergrad course at NYU; would love to hear what you guys think makes the most sense.
Lastly, I'm interested in the MS for two reasons:
1) more exposure to the subject / deeper knowledge
2) time to focus on an area I enjoy / get better at software development
Interested in tech start-up work longer-term.
Anyway, thanks in advance for the advice!
