22Fall，目标转码，本科国内经管+美研stats+美国工作4年，附上自己的选校名单求建议～
384827
本科经+管，两学期微积分+一学期线代+一学期概率论，没有编程课。加总分数大概是88，没有做过WES认证，不过因为发帖要求用WES算法我就去用了下他们官网的iGPA Calculator，算出来是3.77，感觉是不是有点偏高了。Master期间上的统计课比较多，还有一门python programming。因为直接没有用任何常见分数系统所以给不出分......不过类比一下大概是八门A两门B，虽然学校专门写了不能直接换算成ABCD-。-
毕业以后到现在工作就是做data analyst，最近三年的工作是用的python+sql，modeling和普通的数据分析都有，还有一丢丢前端内容不过不多，可以忽略不计。有自学过算法课啥的，不过没有上过网上的可以被认证的cs先修课。
目标是转码，其实是cs/mis混申，看了一些program要求，拿了美国的master‘s degree也不给waive语言成绩，所以托福可能还是会去考。之前来美国前考的是一次105一次106，这次我先假定我水平没有退步......不过不想考GRE了，所以目前的选校list也不是太长。大概诉求是这样：
1. 就业向，所以希望课业负担不太大/学校career service不错/location如果在机会多的地方更好；
2. 不需要GRE申请的program；
3. 学费+living expenses在10w美元以下，所以tuition高于7w的我都先排除了；
4. 项目时长一年半到两年，多一些缓冲，留一个实习的时间。
所以结合以上几点，看了一些经验贴以后，现在选了七个program：
Brandeis MSCS for non-majors: GRE not required but recommended. Tuition 11w but probably 40% - 50% discount.
NEU IS: GRE not required, language test waived. Tuition 5.5w. Coop & internship.
UCI MSWE: GRE not required. Tuition 5.7w, 15-month program. Summer internship required.
UIUC MSIM: GRE waived if GPA of last two years of undergrad study ≥ 3.0. Tuition 4.5w. 1.5-2 years.
UNC MSIS: GRE not required/recommended, waive language test. Tuition 5.6w.
UT Austin MSIS: GRE not required. No waiver for language test with master's degree in US. Tuition 4w.
WPI MCS: GRE not required, waive language test. Tuition $28,980 for 2020-2021.
另外一些需要GRE所以暂时不打算申请的program：
Gatech CSE: multiple prerequisites, GRE required, waive language test. Prefer background in maths.
Northwestern MSIT: GRE required, 4-quarters, tuition 6w - 7w; admission on rolling basis, 25-30 students. Min 2 yrs work experiences in IT.
Syracuse MSCS: GRE required. Language test maybe waived. Tuition $32,110 per year. Deadline 5/1/2022.
TAMU MS-MIS: GRE required, language test required. WES required. Deadline 2/15/2022.
UChicago MPCS: GRE required, waive language test. $6,000 per course (9/12 courses track).
UCI MCS: GRE required, waive language test. Tuition 4.5w. 16 months program (Fall to Fall).
UMass CS: GRE required. Expect a solid undergraduate background in CS but seen admitted Biz applicants before. Tuition 1.5w per term.
Upitts MIS: GRE required. $43,000 per year/$21,500 per term for out-of-state residents. Rolling basis.
以上是自己找的信息，不知道有什么错漏没～因为GRE和费用问题已经筛了不少了所以现在也没咋考虑录取难度，先申请了再说[Lol] 有一些实在过于小众的program就没有很想申请啦，我想的是如果一个offer都没有拿到可能就继续蹲着做data，看看转MLE之类的吧。
大概情况就是这样，想问问大家有没有什么其他program推荐/错误信息更正，以及是不是值得/必须要去考GRE，谢谢～

提醒下大家这里写的不需要GRE多数只是22 fall不需要，这些学校考虑到疫情会有人不愿意冒风险去考试，所以就干脆optional了，但后面也许会重新要求GRE成绩。
补充内容 (2021-09-18 23:08 +8:00):
更正一下UCI MCS: GRE not required for Fall 2022. Admission highly recommended: Completion of an algorithms or data structures course. Familiarity with discrete mathematics, boolean algebra, and linear algebra. At least one (1) year of relevant internship or professional experience.

问过了律师，在I-140 approved 180天后，有cs相关degree，从data转做sde拿到offer，新公司可以直接拿着这个degree续签H1B，前后两份工作category完全不一样不影响～所以我应该就会直接读一个part time cs master啦。查了好几天结果最后就打算申一个online了哈哈哈，也是蛮有趣的，整理的list希望对大家有些帮助也好哇～
