Scholarship

Anyone got funding from NW, Georgia Tech, UMich?

@mobytheggongnyang Congratulation! I also got admitted to NW MSiA and if you do not care about the location, MSiA would be the best choice in perspective of job placement because of its small cohort size and thereby supportiveness of career development team (But if you want to get a job in finance field, New York would be better I guess). Again, congratulation for the amazing results!

Anyone got accepted to Gatech Analytics?

@swcb The reason I mention that MIT is best in terms of job placement is 1. supportiveness of department in career developing / 2. alumni network. The first reason may come from nature of each department.. as you know, BA degree belonged to business school (sloan) and Data Science degree belonged to like engineering/statistics/cs normally. If you are not familiar with programming, it would be helpful to learn a lot from the curriculum in the program, but if the main decision factor for you is job placement and you already have competence in programming (In my opinion, programmers learn faster in self-studying than in off-line lecture.. so you don't have to go to computer science department to learn), I would recommend business school. As I heard from the alumni of sloan mba (not mban alum, but still sloan...), career team in sloan is eager to connect students to top companies and also the number of sloan alumni in field is considerable. I'm not sure my sentences are correct cause my mother tongue is not english.. Congratulation for your fantastic result! Good luck in the future

If I were you, I would choose MIT if I want to focus on job placement and I would choose Stanford if I want to learn from the curriculum in program. If you don't mind, can you share us about your information cause your results are amazing.

Anyone got admitted to Northwestern? I want to know whether it's first round interview decision is already finished
