CS Masters Prerequisite Courses Most Comp Sci MS programs in the US require certain undergrad core prerequisites in order for a non-CS major undergraduate to be considered for admission (usually 4 or 5 including data structures, discrete math, computer systems, etc).
If an applicant has all but one or two of these on their transcript when they apply to MS programs (e.g. late fall 2020), but plans to take the rest of the core in the semester following the application deadline (e.g. spring 2021), will their application still be taken seriously?
Is it worth mentioning plans to take the rest of the core in the statement of purpose?
If you're paying nobody cares. Being rejected from a self funded masters program if you have demonstrated a degree of competency is pretty low.
