Thanks for the advice!

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!

Hey! I need some advice. Admitted: - MIDS - Columbia Data Science - USF Data Science - Michigan Statistics, focus in Data Science - CMU Computational Biology Stats: 167 Q, 167 V, 5 AW, 3.85 GPA from a mid-tier university majoring in statistics and chemical engineering. My father is pushing for Columbia because of the pedigree of the institution. I am partial to USF because of the clear employment statistics, shorter length, cheaper tuition, warm location, collaborative atmosphere. Does anybody have any input on this?

Hey, congrats! Hope you are staying safe. Do you mind sharing your stats?

Hey. I got a 167 Q, 167 V, 5 AW, interviewed last week
