  1. Hi, has anyone attended this program? I have a lot of questions about it, since there isn't a ton of info online. Thanks.
  2. Hi, everyone. I got into a bunch of master's programs that are focused on applied stats for social sciences/quantitative research methods. I either want to pursue a PhD in organizational behavior (I need research experience, which is why I applied to these master's programs) or work with data for social good. The problem is that I have a ton of student debt and other debt (from prior schooling), and I'm experiencing paralyzing sticker shock. I have a full-time job now, and wanted to switch gears and become a full-time student. But I'm not sure that's a good decision. Should I wait until I have paid off more of my debt and saved up money before attending? Should I just bite the bullet? I haven't made any decisions, because I'm not sure what to do. I'd really hate to bother my letter-writers again if I re-apply, but maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Here are the programs I've narrowed my focus to: - Columbia Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences (QMSS) (con: expensive) - NYU Applied Statistics for Social Science Research (A3SR) (con: expensive; classes mostly scheduled during the day so hard to attend part-time if I wanted to save money and continue working full-time instead of attending full-time) - Columbia Teacher's College - Social-Organizational Psychology (con: expensive) [only dedicated OB program in the bunch] - CUNY Hunter Graduate Program in Applied Social Research (GSR) (pro: least expensive program since I'm in-state; con: could be mistaken, but focus does not seem as rigorous or on new technology--also, I'm interested in micro-OB, and this is based out of a sociology department) Any insight? Thanks.
  3. Yes, I was waitlisted. Have you still not heard back?
  4. Hi, has anyone heard back from this program? This is a program that preps select students for PhD programs. They advise students to start in late May, so I'm going to guess it's not a great sign if I haven't heard back yet. But in past years, decisions went out late March/very early April. Would love to get a decision! Has anyone received theirs? Thanks.
  5. Hi, I'm still waiting to hear back too. It does look like some people received acceptances though, if you search for the program in the admissions results section. So not sure if that's a bad sign.
  6. Question for you guys -- I'm interested in OB programs. Are Management programs the same with a different name, or do they have differences? Thanks.
