EDIT: Just found this in OMSCS forum:
 I just got an email from the Office of Graduate Studies saying that my Australian Bachelors isn't equivalent to a US Bachelors degree and I should either take another undergraduate program at a regionally accredited college in the US, or study for another Masters before coming back here to apply for OMSCS

So I guess I will have to pursue an US bachelor first. We are back at the beginning, picking a bachelor first (but having in mind the masters in the future)

If the OMSCS is your goal, you could always apply for yourself and see what they say. If saving money could be an issue, it seems like it could be better to go straight where you want to go.

If you just want to practice studying, how about non-credit-bearing courses? Georgia Tech has a bunch of those for free: https://pe.gatech.edu/massive-open-online-courses
Thanks, that could work, but for me it seems like it's easier to work towards credits, feels more like progress.

OMSCS isn't hard to get into at all. Their admittance rates are sky high. Is yours a 3-year degree? There was one guy who did get in with a 3 year degree + associates:

So you could go for a Pierpont Associate's in Information Systems and then apply to OMSCS.
Mine (from Argentina) is a 5-year degree but it's not from a related field.
