If I were you, I would choose Columbia University. They both have programs that you like,right?
The factor of location sometimes plays a vital role! New York is a better place because of its diversity and various international organizations.
Last, I have been to information session of Columbia, I think it is pretty nice!!!
Through great effort, I succeeded in creating an account with VPN!
Glad to find this thread. I submitted my application on 30/12/2015. So I am waiting for the result now. So worried because my TOEFL is only 97 now!!! Hope I could get admission!
