Duke MSS vs Columbia Statistics

[zjlszcy]

Hi everyone!

I was placed on the waitlist for Duke MSS but I just got accepted today. I am an international student. I do not know which one to choose.

For Duke, it has the better reputation for statistics and the class size is much smaller than Columbia, however, the setting is suburban.

For Columbia, it accepts around 200 students for graduate statistics but its in NYC. Also, my boyfriend is going to Columbia.

I prefer to find a job in US first. Anybody can tell me what my best option is? Thank you very much!!!
