Graduate School Admission Results

TTPB: Did you give your interview? If yes, What kind of questions were asked?

Digital interview to be finished by March 31. International student with engineering undergrad+econ postgrad. 3 yrs work ex in high finance.

Yet another waitlist. Have over ten years of experience in finance and was hoping to switch to tech industry.

I am confused between Columbia and NYU's DS program. I heard it's relatively easier to get RA/TAs at NYU than in Columbia (finances being a big factor for me). Also, the course curriculum at NYU seems more flexible and diverse. Any alternate suggestions/info?

Will probably reject it. All the best to others!

To the Data Science admit from Columbia University posted below, can you share your profile?

Got an email to check the website, If there any group where all the accepted candidates can discuss about this let me know otherwise please join the group by Direct messaging me on +91-7507247096

Second Canadian Uni reject. Applicant pool this year competitive. Toefl 97. 0a/4r/4w Next is UOFT hopes are diminishing...

Did anyone hear from the Data Science Institute at Columbia University for their master's application?

I have been interviewed on 12th March and received a system generated mail saying that will get the result by Mid of March. Anyone who has been interviewed on 12th March got the result? Also, have anyone received the rejection mail so far.

4yrs work ex, only professional lors, top tier undergrad college to the other folks accepted into the program : is the acceptance deadline for you at March 25 (with the significant deposit !)?

TTPB: NYU is very popular mainly due to some very well recognized professors like Yann Lecun and Kyunghyun Cho. It is very unlikely as a Master student to do research with them (they will probably work only with PhD and post-docs). Also, maybe you would see only 2 courses with them; the rest of the course would be given by professors that you have probably never heard about. If you look at the statistics, mathematics, and computer science rankings in USNEWS, you\'ll see that Columbia is better ranked than NYU in all categories. Also, if you search," AI research index 2019 medium" on google, you'll see that Columbia has a higher AI research index than NYU. For me, Columbia is a no-brainer.

Having a hard time to choose this over NYU's DS program...
