A lot of that is due to the quality of the professors I was lucky enough to have.

I was almost laughed off (a good thing) stating I would have to do another bachelor. Sold my house, got rid of all my stuff and enrolled in pure math bachelor's. Best decision of my life. I though that in my mid 30s with a lot more discipline, being able to work…

I was almost laughed off (a good thing) stating I would have to do another bachelor. Can you expand on this? I'm similar right now. Want to go back and get my masters. Graduated in CS about 12 years ago. Mid 30's. What do you mean about having to do another ba…
You don't need to pursue a second undergraduate degree if you just need to fulfill certain courses for graduate admissions.
