To those accepted/rejected by NY schools, could you share your stats/background? I'm applying to both NYU Stern and Columbia for 2013 and this would be really helpful for me. Thanks!

To those who posted above - what was your math coursework background? I'm planning to take the test in order to counteract the fact that I haven't taken Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, etc, and I'm wondering part of the reason you were accepted with scores ~50th percentile is because you had strong coursework backgrounds.

Don't all MA/MS programs cater to professionals? What percentage of UChicago MA/MS students would you say are doing it as a stepping stone to a PhD? Is that your goal - to then go on to a PhD?

I am wondering the same thing. I worry though that this isn't the place to ask, given that it's a forum for students and people who are already out there in the work force.
