    Hey, congrats on the acceptances! Congrats on your decision, I hope you have a wonderful time at USF!

    Yeah, this virus is disrupting. A few considerations are in times of crisis, the rush back to quality is strong, so having a name-brand degree may prove useful. Also, the startup culture is much more prevalent at Columbia than USF, I believe, I have no idea what it is like at USF. Also, the Bay area might have a job shortage for a year or so due to the economic downturn. It is a tough choice, but I am grateful for having it. 

    To the folk asking: 

        I applied Feb 14, interviewed March 31, received an offer April 2, and have to decide April 9

        For the interview, prepare for basic questions. Why Columbia? Why Data Science? What is Data Science? Also, be prepared for a question about issues concerning the morality of AI, AI fairness, etc., such as what is morality. 

    Best of luck to everyone still interviewing and waiting to hear back. If anyone has advice on USF vs Columbia vs Michigan, I would appreciate it. Stay awesome! 

    Btw I'd go with Columbia. I think you'd get a better return for your money and the network connections there would help you if you decide to go down the startup road.

    Hey, congrats!

    Hope you are staying safe.

     

    Do you mind sharing your stats? 

    Thanks! Wow, it seems like a lifetime ago that I wrote this post haha.

    My stats:

    4.0 GPA in Engineering from top 5 world university. GRE: 162Q 163V. 1 year research experience with 2nd author paper/patent with large tech firm. 

    I also have a lot of volunteering experience: ran coding classes, managed free projects in other countries. 

    Anything else you wanted to know?

    thanks for the information @plsgivemeanoffer and @carolbells. If you don't mind me asking, was your decision to pass more so because you received admission from a more reputable program or was it driven by issues you saw in the NYU curriculum/program/costs?

    A bit of both. I don't really fancy night classes and I plan on going to a different program. 

    Besides that, the NYU curriculum is great.

    Hi, to all candidates admitted to NYU MS DS, were any of you notified about scholarship / funding? Apparently they have already sent out awards for these.

    I wasn't notified about funding of any kind. I just saw on the LinkedIn page that they've given out all the awards. That's a bit of a shame. I wish they'd added a sentence or two to the offer letter to let us know this.

    @plsgivemeanoffer That's very reassuring - thanks. The living costs and evening classes won't be a deal breaker for me.

    I am envious of your Stanford offer though - was my dream school at the start of this process! Congrats! Are there any offers you would take over Stanford?

    No worries! I was most worried about not receiving an offer from NYU aha. 

    Thank you ?. I was initially leaning towards MIT as it looks more fun and the job prospects would be great after graduation. However, Stanford is also Stanford so now I'm in a right pickle. 

    Plus both students and staff from both unis have started contacting me with info so I just feel overwhelmed.

    Hi all, I just got accepted into NYU Data Science too! The past few months have been so stressful; it's great to finally have an offer.

    Would also love to hear some advice on how good the program is, so I can weigh up my options should other offers come in.

    The NYU data science program is one of the best and would be a top choice for me. It also allows you to tailor it to your desires. The tracks offered give you such a wide range that I feel that you can't go wrong. 

    However, the classes are offered in the evening (from what I recall) and NY's living costs is quite high.
