Sci, I need a little help.
I'm a math major applying to grad school for next year.
I don't really know what to do with the degree to be honest, but I'm looking at three main programs: a "bridge" program that lets me do a masters in Comp Sci (I had no CS courses as an undergrad), another "bridge" program that lets me do a masters in Electrical Engineering, and Harvard's Data Science degree.
My questions are:
>1. Is a degree in "Data Science" bullshit? Am I better off in a stats program?
>2. Is it a bullshit idea to get a masters in CS if I just want to do research in machine learning or something? Am I better off in a stats program?
>3. Is it a bad idea to do a bridge program in engineering?
If anyone has enough experience in one of these fields to answer any of these questions, that would be awesome. Thanks
