Advice needed - looking to earn CS credits

[AwardTour]

Most graduate schools will want a GRE or GMAT.

You are right, that still holds true for brick & mortar masters degree programs. However, there are some online programs that openly promote the fact that you don't need the GRE or GMAT. ASU is one of those btw. I am sure it would not hurt, but as a requirement for admissions there are a number of places that promote the fact that a GRE or GMAT is not required. 

Alternatively, I might pursue the BS in Software Development instead of the BSCS. It has lower math requirements but covers the software and C#/Java programming stuff in more detail. I know people who have been accepted into the OMSCS with a WGU BSSD, so that is another option.

It sounds like the lower math requirements path from a WGU BSSD to GA Tech would work for the OMSCS because you know people who have done it. That being said, it might lock you into a GA Tech OMSCS only path. While a number of online grad schools use their lack of a GRE requirement as a marketing ploy, ASU and other places are very clear on their undergrad math requirements. I think Calc I and Discrete Math I are the combined minimums they want as well as a GPA for those math courses (rules out ACE credit). 

I want to thank you for all of your responses so far Merlin, it has given me good insight and perspective . Can I ask you just one more thing? What is your opinion of WGU's Masters in Data Analytics? I know some people out in the working world can be critical or biased against WGU. A masters from GA Tech or ASU leaves no room for debate as both of those are respected. However, WGU might end up being my only option realistically for the time being. I am not looking for exact answers, just your opinion and general thoughts. You already have an MBA from WGU so your opinions and feelings are very relevant to me.
