Hey guys!

I just sent in my application for MS OR 2011 - Columbia.

Since I haven't found any discussions for OR Fall 2011, I thought everyone who's applying can just post here?

hey..even I did the same right before the death knell :lol:. When will the decisions arrive? Which other universities have you applied to?

Decisions arrive mid march-end of march I think. Im currently pursuing a Math program at Columbia and have applied to NYU also (FinMath). Did you check the "would you consider MS&E if our committee sees your application fit for that program" in your Columbia app?

yeah! I did that.:) I had pretty neat GRE...(in fact high)..... and a super SOP( whoever read it said so!) ...decent LORs(I guess). The fix is...I have a GPA around 3.25 overall( I am in a place which is way too frugal with its gradation). However I have great grades in courses like differential equations, financial mathematics, probability and statistics etc. Would I be able to get in one of the super universities in the US?

Getting in shouldn't be tough for you. After all, you are from their own backyard ;)

Hahaha.. Im not infact, from here. Did my undergrad in IE at a top school in India. Which other schools have you applied to? Its obviously important to have a strong relevant math background which it seems like you do. Did you speak to any professors @ Columbia yet?

Hey I am also from India:P No I haven't spoken to any prof@ Columbia. I heard that it makes you look like a pest. Hence I refrained from it! laugh.gif. I guess one is not required to do that compulsorily @ Columbia, right?
