Agree on the list, I would say GT is hardest to get in, but most inexpensive. While the later two are much easier.

I also suggest reading Dr. Joyners’ Reddit posts and books, they helped me quite a bit and I do want to reiterate that if you need help on admission and completed the EDX cs50(?) course, you can personally email him, as it’s stated on one of the last slides.

All around an amazing program that I hope to one day do, but I went the UIUC for business for now.

Regarding the acceptance rates, it's actually the opposite. GT OMSCS has a very high acceptance rate (~80%) and UIUC and UT Austin online masters are much more selective (~30%).
