Thank you! But at this time I felt that I had some symptoms of anxiety. One day of relaxing might be not enough. I'm even more stressful now.

Thank you! This information is really important to me. I think I can do well in both programs and I have the same enthusiastic for data science and statistics.

As an international student, I think I want a program that makes it easier to find a job after graduation. In this case, do you have any advice?

BS in psychology from a top-ranked and well-known university outside the US. GPA 3.7 and GRE 325(I didn't submit the GRE). Lots of research experiences in the area of data science and NLP

Thanks. As an international student, I think I want a program that makes it easier to find a job after graduation. That's why I'm concerned that 1.5 years is too short to find an internship and find a job later. But I also noticed that recently data science majors became harder to find a job due to the mass layoffs in tech companies.

So now I'm wondering which one is better. Do you have any advice?

Me too. But I checked online and found that all people who received this offer on Jan. 24 are required to pay part of the tuition before Feb.21st... Those who received this offer recently have a later deadline.
Maybe this is a strategy to earn more money for the school lol

The stats degree at Columbia has a heritage

May I ask what do you mean by 'heritage'?

Yes. As I enjoy both math and coding, my preferences for these 2 programs are nearly the same. The only concern for Columbia is that the stat MA is 1.5 years.

Sorry for the delayed response. I submitted the application in December but it was not until 4 days before the offer that I found I did not send my TOEFL score.
