Any thoughts on Georgia tech’s OMSCS vs OMSA? Non-CS background in economics - very quant degree - and want to do the former but unlikely due to lack of accredited courses in CS. Intention is to do DS but want a proper math grounding and knowledge of SE to build models that fit into existing infrastructure. Have done data analytics in R and quant finance in Matlab, in addition to some ML and SE stuff in Python for project.

I would focus around what you want to do as opposed to which one is easier to get in. It’s not hard to acquire the necessary credentials to get into OMSCS (you can just do edx or coursera courses and talking about it in the SOP)

If your goal is DS, OMSA seems more applicable. OMSCS focuses much more on just the computing portion, but lacks the stats. However, if your focus is ML, then OMSCS would be more suitable.

In the end, you can just apply to both and see what happens.

Just discovered your post OP.. I am considering OMSCS as well. If you don’t mind, could you share the open source bachelors links?

Deciding between the two as well so as to figure out the prerequisites needed. What did you end up doing? Any tips you can share?
