MSM vs MBA vs other

[LevelUP]

Minor update, I was accepted into the Georgia Tech Master of Science in Cybersecurity - Policy program for Fall 2025.

I missed the deadline for Spring 2025 application by a few days, applied for Fall, but an admissions specialist then told me they were processing it for Spring. I asked to confirm and the specialist asked if I wanted to switch to Fall. I said no, Spring is better, just making sure. Anyway, today, I got my confirmation letter saying I was accepted for Fall [sad trombone noise]. I emailed to clarify.

Meantime, I am actually enrolled in UIUC iMSM, with my first high-engagement classes beginning today. I have already done some of the Coursera part. Because of deadlines, it made sense to start at UIUC even if I wasn't sure I would stay with it, because I don't actually pay tuition for a couple of weeks while I figure out Georgia Tech.

I think most likely, I will stay with UIUC, unless I find some really good answers from GT about a few concerns I have, including the Spring vs Fall thing.

Mainly posting for community knowledge about acceptance odds.

How many courses are you taking per term?
