thanks for your input.

For Cornell, I think the nature of MPS degree fits me more, because they are more applied , rather than research-based, but location-wise, there seems to be a disadvantage. For Columbia, it is right in New York City,seems to be better if I want to get a job in NYC. The downside of Columbia is that, I heard that Columbia has a large statistics department and they have lots of master students, hence the job placement is not that good, because of excess demand.. So...I am trying to make a choice right now...and hope anyone can give me some suggestions

I see. Thanks Wish you all the best too!

I also doubt that, and I asked the department about it. They just said that, it's okay, the deadline for international student is June 1st. But I don't know if US residents and international student really consider seperately...

re: BayAreaStat86 thanks...are you from Bay Area? I am in Bay Area also. I am also waiting for UCLA and cornell's decisions.... are you applying for these two? I called UCLA today and they said my application is still under review.... But I do believe they have given decisions to some applicants already.... And for Cornell, I called them this Tuesday, and the lady on phone said she is going to send me an email regarding the application status, but I never receive it, I tried to call back, but no one picks up the phone... I wonder if it's because I am international student...so the decision is delayed and delayed.... sigh...I still do not have any offer...I am so worried... :cry: re: fesity Are you also applying for statistics master? Have you solved the problem yet?

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, and I am applying for statistics master as an international student holding a US degree, I haven't not got any news from for Columbia yet, and hence I called the department and found out this week that they actually LOST my application (I submitted my application on Jan 30th, and I still can log in the website and view my application), they said I needed to email the admission and see if they can retrieve my application, and they are not opening until Monday... Does anyone have a similar situation? Is anyone applying the same degree here? I wonder even if I re-submit/they retrieve my application, they are going to consider it IF the decision results have come out already...... Thanks in advance...
