Where else are you looking? I'm deciding between Georgetown and UVA and trying to do some pros and cons... I'm worried that Georgetown's program is a little less established than others, but also they've got big name appeal.

can anyone help?? i'm having trouble finding anything about Georgetown's analytics program...

mine appeared too, I got waitlisted... hope it went well for you!

ditto to this... still hasn't stop me from obsessively refreshing to page

I've been accepted to both the University of Virginia's MS in Data Science and Georgetown's MS in Analytics with a focus in Data Science. From what I've found, UVA seems to be a higher ranked program for data science but Georgetown is considered more prestigious overall. I'm not sure how much to weigh the benefit of having a degree from Georgetown as for that looking good. It's also hard to find a lot of info on ranking of data science programs, since there's no one good place to look! I'm really conflicted between these two and am looking for advice/thoughts people have as well as anyone who is considering these programs or data science/analytics in general!!!

congrats!! let me know if they tell you when they're sending out decisions! i'm sure i'm at best waitlisted but just want to know for sure.

Me too!!! I got accepted to Chicago's Computational Social Science program yesterday with 2/3 funding, but I think UVA is more well known/higher ranked? I can never find any good ranking of data science/analytics programs... any thoughts?

I have not received an interview and I also didn't submit the video, I'm feeling like that's a bad sign...

I can't seem to find much about people applying to data science and analytics masters programs so I thought I'd start one myself. I'm super frustrating with not being able to find information on when decisions will be sent out, so I'm hoping find out if anyone has heard from anywhere. I've applied to: Chicago's MA in Computational Social Science Chicago's Masters in Analytics Georgetown's Masters in Analytics (focus in data science) Northwestern's MS in Analytics LSE Applied Social Data Science and Data Science masters programs I just found out yesterday that I've been accepted to UVAs masters in Data Science. Has anyone heard back from any of these schools??? Just for reference...
