I’m planning to apply to the UPenn MSE-AI (online) program for Spring 2027 and want to take some MOOCs to strengthen my application. I’ve gone through a bunch of older Reddit threads, but most of the advice is from a year ago, so I’d really appreciate input from anyone who was recently admitted on which MOOCs actually helped their application.

Hi all,
Quick question—has anyone reduced their statin dose after a big improvement in cholesterol?

I went from LDL 200 → 65 within three months on 20 mg rosuvastatin + a much better diet (I wasn’t eating great before due to heavy work related travel, but now I eat much healthier).

Thinking about trying a lower dose and rechecking labs. Curious how it worked out for others.

Update: my CAC scan is 0 so thats one of the reasons I want to reduce the dose. I agree it doesnt look for soft plaque.
