I applied to IE/OR PhD with interest in financial engineering/ applied probability

Princeton ->rejetced

Stanford ->rejected

LSE -> accepted for a Masters program (didnt apply for Phd there)

still waiting for answers from Columbia and Northwestern

All Ph.D. programs: In at mich and berkeley, rejected at princeton, still waiting for cornell (I called, they said "by the end of march" - !!!), columbia, georgia tech (I called, they're "making decisions every day, through the end of march" and my file had not yet been completed, ie, documents matched to file, though I sent my stuff well before the deadline -!!!). Given that these (except ga tech/berk) are all relatively small programs, the wait they're putting us through is unconscionable.

I have also been admitted for the masters program at LSE, but I have to look at ways to fund myself. Heard from Stern and London business school. Bad news from both schools jus waiting for columbia and gatech

Does anyone know how good the OR and financial math PhD programs are? I got into Princeton, but how does it compare with some of the others (Cornell, Stern, etc.)? There do not seem to be any helpful literature. Any thoughts/insights would be appreciated.
