Anyone complete or accepted to OMSCS without a background in Computer Science?
Any recommended ways to fulfill their requirements for the basic CS without paying $$$ to take courses?
Was denied for not having the CS background before joining a FAANG.

- cweagans 6y agoUniversity of the People has a free-ish CS program. You might look into that. It's zero tuition, but you have to pay $100/exam (or at least that's what it was when I was looking at it).
- dlivingston 6y agoI have a background in physics and am a first-semester OMSCS student. So no formal CS training, though my day job is computational geophysics. The r/OMSCS subreddit has excellent threads where folks list their backgrounds and whether they were accepted. It’s a great way to get a rough estimate on your acceptance chances.
