I also got the admission from MSOR Columbia. I will not go there, because I think this program is prepared for the guys who want to find a job after one-year MS study. But my ultimate goal is to get a teaching position. And during this period, the international students can hardly find a good job in USA because of the financial crisis. Besides, I have heard that the PhD program of IEOR at Columbia seldom admits students who graduated from the MSOR program Columbia. Just my opinions.

My career goal is getting a teaching position. I know maybe going to Columbia is the wise deicison. But I have to take time to think, because I can not promise I will be admitted to another top universty after graduation from Columbia. And the tuition is so expensive. Thank you, the guys who answer my question and send me a message. TO zkdhtm, in what aspect, you think columbia is not better than OSU? Curious about that.

Dear friends, Until now, I just received the admission from Columbia MS program without funding and offer from Ohio State University PhD program with full funding. Could you give me some suggestions about where I should go? The tuition and living expense of Columbia is too much for my family. And lots of persons told me that Columbia IEOR program is just focus on earning money and send out so many admission letters without funding. But Columbia is indeed better than OSU in every aspect. I don't know how to choose. Please give me some suggestion. Thank you very much!

I have applied to the PhD program of MS&E at Stanford. Why I still received nothing??????

No, I received the letter from the SEAS but not the department. The email mentioned nothing about financial aid. And I think it is impossible for MS to get financial aid. The total budget is $60000!!! Crazy!!!

TO IOEgirl, I also received the admission letter from Columbia, after rejected by PHD program. At the beginning of the letter, it said "Dear admitted Student" but not "Dear XXX(my name)". is it the same with you? Thank you!

To zkdhtm How did you know that you are rejected by georgia tech? By email? By postal mail? Or by checking the online status? Thank you very much and goog luck for you!

Are there any ones who have news from IEOR at Columbia? I saw someone has been admitted, but I still have no news. Anxious!
