Which program is better

[Bill Wang]

I got admitted by the master of statistics program at Columbia, Wisconsin-Madison, master of applied math and stats at JHU, and master of financial engineering program at NYU Tandon. Do you guys have any suggestion about which one is better? Thanks.

I’m not familiar with all of those programs, but Columbia’s master of stats program is known for being a cash cow for the department. Many people on this forum have indicated that it does not result in the best learning experience.

If you want to be a financial engineer, go to NYU. If you want to be a statistician, go to Wisconsin. If you are totally undecided, go to JHU.
