Awesome! Any tips for getting into the program? I'm trying to get in without a CS degree but with a programming and SAAS product management background.
Highly recommend trying out any online courses (Coursera, Udacity, edX) and putting that on your application. I'm certain the Admissions committee is more concerned with whether you will be successful in the program than what your background is. So it's a matter of willingness to learn and preparation. In fact, the application asks you specifically what you are doing to prepare for the program. Try to answer that honestly before doing it.
Definitely check out the Google+ community here [1]. It's a fantasically active community. Great responses from students in the program. It is even frequented by Prof. Charles Isbell who is Associate Dean.
Appreciate the advice. Glad to here about the online courses as I'm going through a "nanodegree" on Udacity right now. I am really hoping to get into GT to become more familiar with machine learning and comp vision and apply it in the industry I work in(international trade).
Just checked out the google+ link and it is VERY active compared to any online course I've seen..great!
