I would apply to a few of them, like your top 3 choices and then a "backup 3" in your neck of the woods. Sometimes you may not get into your first three choices, and you will have to settle for one of your backup options. Review a few you are interested in, there are some similar Comp Sci, Data Analytics, Data Science, and IT degrees mentioned in the Grad subforum for about 10-12K flat.
Good advice !

I heard this too. I heard it from someone from their Slack channel. It was one of their (GT's) edX courses, CS1332 for DSA. I'd say the best thing to do is contact their program coordinator see what they recommend.
