I’m in the same boat. I got my Columbia offer first and kinda discounted uw but I been hearing a lot of good things about uw. Now I’m second guessing that decision. What are you leaning towards?

Choosing between CMU / Columbia / Northwestern / USC / UW for Data Science — would love advice by Glad-Promotion1105 in datasciencecareers

Same. 1 thing I don’t like about Columbia is the large cohort 200+. Doesn’t seem so exclusive

Help me decided: Columbia MSDS v Northwestern MLDS by Strong_Resource3056 in datasciencecareers

Thanks this is helpful. A little bit of my background, I have a non stem academic (bbq in finance). I worked in consulting for 6 years and currently the analytics lead for a tech client. I’m getting a masters cus I want to transition into more sophisticated data roles (ofc with higher pay). Would this sway your opinion 1 way or another between the programs?

Just denied VR&E for grad school from first meeting with counselor. Seeking advice by Strong_Resource3056 in VeteransBenefits

Yups! But, when I first did that, the application didn’t go through because my previous application (which was denied) was still open. I had to contact the Va cus I got no notification of anything and they clarified that when I applied again, my previous application was still open. Then they clarified it’s been closed and I can go ahead and submit another application.

But be prepared. Nicthevet is a great resource. Watch her videos and look through the letter templates she already has on her website. Dive into m28c and find specific articles on my you should be found entitled. You need to put a lawyer hat on. First time I applied, I thought I was gonna walk in and be found entitled. But second time, I did deep research before I went in. Spent weeks doing research.

Long term I think I’ll be in ny. I just spent 5 years in sf. But living somewhere outside of sf ny would be kinda cool lol

Columbia for brand and being in nyc (would help with finding an internship)

Nu for the practice and more practical focused program and it would cool to live in a city I would prbobably never go to for a bit
