3rd AD from CMU-MSE

能收到CMU的AD，人生也没有遗憾了！
经过面试还是被转到了MSE里，学费应该是21000*4吧...
当初看跟架构师沾边就勉强报的MSIT-SE，
现在看这蛋疼的学费加上软工的课，真是无力accept了...

关于这个项目褒贬不一吧，quora上一个负面的回答跟我想的差不多：

I have an MSIT in software engineering from CMU West (now called CMU Silicon Valley) -- and no, I do not respect the degree. I think it was a complete waste of time. I felt that the West Coast offering was solely for CMU to cash in on their reputation as a good CS school.

There were no entrance requirements (GRE, GPA), no lectures, no tests, and mediocre expectations. Here's a question: does that bar attract the best students? Here's another: do you want to spend a year+ with those students on your project team? A third: will the network you develop be useful later in life?

The curriculum was project-based, which is supposed to mirror the real world, but we had to follow this ancient software process called the TSP. It was a variation of Waterfall Model (development) but with a ton of stifling tracking and metrics (see http://www.sei.cmu.edu/tsp/). Note the kind of places that get value out of this level of process: US Naval Air Systems Command, the 520th Software Maintenance Squadron, etc. This is no Dropbox.

Here's the general project outline: write proposal, get approval, design, calculate work units, narrow scope with approval, code, test, document, document, document, deliver. Repeat twice more. This might be great if you want to work at Boeing, where it's okay to deliver late with the wrong product, but not so useful for the Valley.

Two weeks after finishing the degree I left for a startup I heard about via a friend from undergrad. I'd suggest saving the time and flying direct.

没了解过SE@cmu SV和MSIT-SE有什么区别 其实也没有详细的了解过MSIT-SE 毕竟资料还是偏少 说点自己的看法吧

首先 好的program入学要求高是事实 但是入学难度和项目好坏直接挂钩不是很认同 还是觉得要选择适合自己的program 很多人都在乎一种精英感 越难进的项目就觉得越好 却不考虑自己究竟适不适合
其次 入学难度不高就觉得周围的同学水平不高 能力不高 实在是太片面 入学难度决定了下限而不是上限 professional的项目也不乏工作后回来深造的 我觉得应届生和那些人还是有差距的 就算周围人能力欠缺 目光长远点 整个CMU都是发展人脉的地方 这段话实在觉得槽点满满
最后 这是一个学习软件开发 架构 需求分析的program 本来就不大能对直接找工作起到很大帮助 想学习技术型的只能通过选修课 还是那句话 合适不适合 看自己想学什么罢了

谢谢！ebiz课程也不太喜欢，这个当时申的时候看还有些架构和设计类的课程。
应该不水吧，就是看个人喜不 ...

今天我看到有人贴出来MSIT-SE的课程表，好像都是规定好的课是吧。。其实这样也有好处，他这么规定肯定是有自己的一套培养体系的，毕竟CMU，感觉出来以后可以成为一名优秀的项目工程师。学长根据个人发展情况看吧，话说我觉得INI还可以再抢救一下~

lz你申请了20多所学校啊，，辛苦了。。。表示只申请了不到10所。。。结果挺好的，，
Cong！！！

谢谢啊！
是的，只有几所是精心准备的材料，但光弄网申就挺累的...
感觉今年形势很残酷，能有AD很知足了！

可能最终不会去了，实在太贵了，而且课程也不太喜欢...

先cong学长了！！话说你都有5年经验了为什么不报ebiz？另外这个sv的MSIT-SE应该没那么水，我把它放在第二志愿到现在还没有消息

原来MSE课程教的管理过程这么古老……这样看学不到什么有用的东西啊
感觉的确有点不想去了

一家之言哈，quora上搜到的，也许是过去的课程内容呢~
反正学费挺贵的，慎重考虑吧！
