  1. I wasn't interviewed anywhere I applied. I've heard in Business schools sometimes they do phone screens
  2. So Columbia will provide you on campus housing that ranges from ~800 (small room with roommate, no kitchen) to ~1100 (I-house) which is pretty cheap for the area. You could possibly do better but you'd have to really hunt and maybe be away from the upper west side which is a hassle. Most everyone stays in the cu housing, at least for the first year or so. After that food is my next biggest expense, I spend ~15$ a day on food and ~60a week on groceries which works out nicely for me. 15$ is essentially I go out for lunch, and I buy coffee and snacks through out the day; breakfast and dinner I cook myself. At the end of the first semester I pocketed a good amount of money so I could have spent more aggressively if I wanted. Conceivably you have enough that you could get away with never cooking as long as you didn't eat at really fancy places. tl;dr: Money is fine, no one has any issues. You have enough that you could go out on the town every so often but not enough to do it every night.
  3. I wouldn't call us a fe school, we're pretty evenly spread between opt, stoch, fe and some recent machine learning type stuff
  4. It's masters leading to phd if you don't already have a masters. I bet it doesn't matter if you goof though, you go into the same pile of candidates. As far as I can tell there's no preference or quota for students w/ masters vs w/out
  5. Everyone in my year came from math so I'd say that's true
  6. Cornell's OR is the best of the three although if you're interested in application UMich is a good choice. They have a lot of industry involvement. For what its worth, I've never heard of the Berlin Mathematical School.
  7. GT ACO is hardcore, I would go there
  8. C'mon everyone, be nice. Rejection hurts, lets just try and be empathetic okay. Only nice things
  9. I'd also pick USC, I think it's definitely your best option
