It does say applicants who do not meet those criteria will be evaluated on a case by case basis, though.

Yes, it's really quite a vile racket they have going on there, making people do a BS that is 60% to 80% useless filler gunk.
I could understand stating that instructors will not slow down for unprepared students, and that people with a low or missing GPA don't get to sign up for classes until after other students have done so. That makes sense. Denying admission is improper.
Preferred qualifications for admitted OMS CS students are an undergraduate degree in computer science or related field (typically mathematics, computer engineering or electrical engineering) from an accredited institution with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Applicants who do not meet these criteria will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; however, work experience will not take the place of an undergraduate degree. The following are required for admission"
Never mind what you have done in the last decade or so, hopefully you got a CS degree and had a 3.0 GPA.
