  1. Hi Bouncmpe

    Which school did you choose finally USC or Brown? Are you happy with the decision?

  2. Hi all. I was admitted to Brown MS CS one month ago and I had almost finalized my decision on Brown. I was going to accept their offer this week. However, yesterday I received an admit from NYU MS CS and this admit complicated things. I am admitted to CS in both universities but I also want to take Applied Math courses on Finance subjects and NYU Courant Institute seems to be the best Applied Math department at US. It offers great Financial courses such as Risk and Portfolio Management etc. It is also located at the heart of Manhattan, very close to the Wall Street. I am sure it has great industrial connections as well. These are very important points for me since I won't go for a PhD after MS. Instead I would like to have a job, and I am seriously considering switching to Finance. That's why I care about the Applied Math department and Wall Street. I am really confused now. Does taking Finance courses from NYU Courant help me to find a good Finance job even if I graduate from MS CS? Is there a similar option at Brown? What do you advise me to do? Any opinion will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance..
  3. I also got MS CS admission to Brown and USC. Are you sure that USC has a bigger job market?? I think it may be the opposite..
  4. Hi Misa, Are you sure that if you take 3 courses/semester you don't pay according to the number of courses taken but pay the full tuition. I have called the department yesterday and they said that we only need to pay for the number of courses taken. For example, I plan to finish MS in 3 semesters, 3+3+2 courses. By taking 3 courses per semester the first year (the first 6 courses) and the last 2 courses the third semester. They said that according to this plan I will pay 6 x ~5K/course for the first 6 courses in the first year, and 2 x ~5K/course for 2 courses the next year. But according to what you said it looks like 38K/year for the first 6 courses in the first year, and 2 x ~5K/course for 2 courses the next year. This makes a big difference. Are you sure about your plan1? Thanks..
  5. Will this increase the amount to be paid? Thanks..
  6. I'm sorry about it. My profile is as follows. Specialization: Computer Networks. GPA is 3.2/4 and GRE is Q800/V420/AW4. Have Cisco CCNA Certificate. Internships at Vodafone and Alcatel-Lucent network departments. Research experience on Wireless Sensor Networks but no publication. Have taken graduate level network courses. Well motivated SoP and good LoRs. Not a great profile but above average I guess. By the way, does anybody know the answer to the question above? Thanks..
  7. I have been admitted to Brown MS CS. I have an important question regarding the tuition fee. The amount mentioned in admit ($38,000), is it for the entire duration of MS or just for one year? If I complete MS in 2 years, will I pay 2 x $38,000? Thanks in advance..
