You're already accepted into the OMSCS program and working through it? So you don't actually need to "prove" to admissions that you know this, correct? This is purely a self-fulfillment goal? You don't need college credit or portfolio examples or proof of experience -- you just want to learn what you think you should know, right?
If I am understanding this correctly, then really your best bet that will save you a ton of time and money is to just commit to learning, find a free youtube/mooc/OpenStax source that speaks to your learning style, and earnestly work your way through it without deceiving yourself.
There's so many free, straightforward ways to learn ANYTHING online in 2024. If you just want to actually LEARN, all it takes is self-discipline.
If I have misunderstood and you're looking for a path that earns college credit or specific credentialing, than apologies and ignore me.
