MSCS/MSDS on performance based admissions programs

[bjcheung77]

Coursera, Edx, FutureLearn, Upgrad, and other MOOC's, etc, will have some type of program that may be an option for you. They partner with higher ranked institutions globally, mainly the ones in Australia, Canada, and UK/US. My recommendation is to go for Georgia Tech and University of Texas - Austin as your top choices, then find your backup or two from a short list you create from the list of MOOc's I mentioned. The main thing is, look at all the prerequisites they require, try to meet them and/or exceed those.
