How competitive are MS CS admissions?

Post Body

I am an international student with no CS/math background in undergraduate courses. I have taught myself to program though and now all the basics of OOP. I am aware that if I am admitted I will have to complete the prerequisite courses before beginning graduate study. I'm okay with that. I want to transition into software development after my MS

I have about 5.5 years industry experience (non tech roles) where I wrote some HTML in one job and wrote some VBA macros to automate tasks in my second job (that was not the official role though)

I was wondering if the admissions are competitive? Like do they straight ignore any candidates without cs/math background because they have too many tech graduates applying for the program?

Also, CSU applications do not allow you to send a resume, statement or letters of recommendation, so they probably only focus on your grades for reviewing your application.

I basically want to know if I have any hope of getting an admit.

I have also applied to CSU Fullerton and would like to know which one is easier to get into CSUF or CSULB?
