Great vid, Sam. Looking forward to the next one and hearing more about your experience with OMSCS! Thanks for the book recommendations as well, I already had atomic habits on my reading list, but I will have to add the other one (and then actually get around to reading them, but I guess that is what the books are meant to help with anyway - haha).

Hey Sam, what are the three pre-requisites that Georgia Tech offers if you dont have a comp sci or stem undergrad? I do have a postgrad - MBA though.
Do you have any recommendations on general resources I should prep using for the program? I just got accepted and to be honest I’m kind of overwhelmed. I’m scared of burnout too since I just graduated in 2023 and started working, and don’t know if I will be able to manage my time and creativity between my job, my coursework and my hobbies. If that’s even realistic. I am interested in ai, computer architecture, robotics and HCI. But I saw that Math and calculus is a necessity for ai and robotics, and that is my weak spot. I don’t know how to prep or prioritize my prep in the next 3 months. I also read that the first 2 classes I need a B or higher which is something I need to prep for. I work I’m using c# at work, but for the program this is what I’m thinking for prep: 1. Learn Python, since a lot of courses that I want to take in AI, Robotics and HCI seem to use it, and it’s the one language I don’t have experience with. And other learning paths seem to need it too over other languages. 2. Review Data structures and algorithms using Python to solidify my understanding of Python and review the basic DSA. Do some LeetCode (not for job prep), but to review DSA concepts. 3. Do a project with Python as practice. 4. Review Math and calculus. That’s going to be the tough one. Math is my weak spot. How did you prep? Or are you just great at math? How much math did you need in the program in ai and robotics classes? Or HCI? 4. Learn C, as have no low level language experience from undergrad or my first job. As important as this is, it’s probably behind learning Python and math for the program, since those two are more prevalent in the coursework I want to take (unless I take a architecture course or path, which means that is big then). Sorry I just wrote a whole essay at you. What would you say or recommend based on my overall thoughts and feelings above? Did you feel the same v Did you get burned out at all? Or feel like you couldn’t spend time with or be creative in your hobbies or other passions in life?

I understand being overwhelmed, I was too when I started OMSCS. My biggest piece of advice is: try to relax. Enjoy your free time while you can, I definitely felt burnt out at the end. Take it one class at a time, and just prep for that class. If you feel weak in math, maybe take a class with minimal math prereqs as your first class to get a feel for the program.

How are you saying a course is 7k? I think you messed up there as a course is 198-335 per hour so that’s more like 700 dollars

Hey Frank, sorry if that was unclear. "If you do one course per semester, it's around $7k" should be read as "If you do one course per semester, [the program] is around $7k". I added this clarification to the description of that video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/yXl4zWyqjYaKopw

@@sam_cant_code 👍🏼 no problem I just figured it was a mistake. I’m curious as to how the tests were done. I’m doing tests for computer analytics and everything is multiple choice. That kinda surprises me. I’m curious if you have a video about that. Thanks in advance

Good question. The exams varied by class but were either multiple choice, calculations or free response
