Did you hear back yet from the MADS online program? I got notice yesterday.

Hi, 

thanks for your reply previously.

I received their notice in Aug. Did you get admitted to Fall 2019?

Hi all,  I'm deciding between Columbia's Masters of Science in Business Analytics and University of Michigan's Masters of Science in Data Science program. Since they are in different industries, I'm very conflicted. I got waitlisted from NYU and UW Data Science, got accepted to Cornell's MPS in Applied Statistics (Data Science), ORIE at Cornell Tech, and Georgetown Analytics. Still waiting from Brown, PENN, LSE Data Science.

Economics major and Statistics minor at a top 3 liberal arts college, with some cs background. I think my end goal is working as a data scientist at a consulting/finance firm, but I'm open to other data science roles. Not interested in PhD. I was leaning towards Michigan because of technical complexity, so I'll have a wide variety of career options, but everyone's telling me to choose Columbia because of its name value, resources, and geographical advantage (i.e. recruiting and networking). I have a week to decide - any advice/input would be appreciated!!! Thank you!

Hi andsdPdms,

Congrats on your admissions.

Just wondering did you apply to UMSI 's MADS program, the online one?

If you don't mind, may I ask when did you apply to the program and when did you heard back from them about the decision?

I applied end of May, and not sure if they have already sent out all the admissions. :(
