Hey, 
  
I am also an GSAPP MUP newly admitted student. I accepted the offer. Some facts that I would offer: 
  
1, The school is very good in architecture, so the planning program should not be too bad. 
2, The school is based in NYC, which should set a good ground for both learning background and career prosperity. 
3, You can take courses in almost all other departments/schools excluding the teacher's college. 
4, It is an old program. 
5, It is Columbia University!! 
6, Some stats about job finding: http://www.arch.columbia.edu/files/gsapp/imceshared/cce2119/Public_Information.pdf
