NYU General Psych/Columbia QMSS

Recommended Posts

Can someone give me some advice on whether I have a chance of getting in the Columbia QMSS program or the General Psych program at NYU (they have a social-consumer track)? I have recently decided that I didn't want to pursue a career in mental health anymore, and want to gradually transition to marketing.

I would really appreciate any comment!!!
