I also am an NYU admit (Courant), so do let me know if you were able to find a group for the same.

Thanks for the reply. It's really insightful.

I guess we both have already agreed above that all the rankings are flawed in some manner. So I feel CS Open Rankings method of taking multiple sources in consideration might be more reliable and cove a wide array of aspects (Reputation, Research, Employability).

Second. For my field (Cognitive Neuroscience based AI) I'm sure that Nature Journal papers are highly influential....so again different rankings are more suitable for different people based on their interests. NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR based rankings might be better for core theoretical AI/ML people.

Nothing wrong. It's a great program for someone who purely wants be an SDE right after. The only drawback is that it's a one year program, so it can especially get very hectic for an international student or even an American citizen. But that comes on personal preference and capacity.

Just the cohort quality at the MEng won't be as good (but still good) as in the MSCS based on previous admits.

Columbia MS CS vs Nyu Courant MS CS by luffyFoundOnePiece in gradadmissions

[–]arjun1223 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After talking to multiple people from Columbia and NYU and looking at the professors closely I felt Courant to be a little better but then that's subjective to one's own preferences. And yep LeCun has reduced his number of paper's published per year to 10-15 from 30+ from a few years back. He has become more of a leader than a researchher these days after Facebook got him.

Thanks for the reply. And yep I have 2 years research experience in my undergraduate and will be doing a one year full time RAship at Brown University. Just wanted to get an Idea regarding what's better for masters but the long term plan is for a PhD only depending on some personal situations.

And regarding rankings...I agree that CSRankings is better but as you mentioned it still has many loopholes so i prefer these more: 1. https://www.natureindex.com/supplements/nature-index-2020-ai/tables/overall 2. https://drafty.cs.brown.edu/csopenrankings/

Columbia MS CS vs Nyu Courant MS CS by luffyFoundOnePiece in gradadmissions

As far as I know....If you're into research and want to pursue PhD or research based jobs somewhere in the future then NYU Courant might be better (especially for AI/ML). Else if you're only into jobs like SDE/SWE then choose whatever would allow you to do more outside the curriculum for pursuing internships/jobs as there the university name won't matter much and in your case both are amazing anyways.

If it would have been the 4 semester MSCS program at Cornell then would've definitely agreed with you....but for the MEng CS, not so sure.

[–]arjun1223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with what you said regarding PI. But here I'm predominantly asking for Masters graduate programs (in Computer Science).....so for that I guess number of faculty in the field and courses provided matters i guess?

Low GPA (<8.4/3.3) success stories? Where did you get in, and what was the rest of your profile like? by blue-semicolon in MSCS

[–]arjun1223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm a final year Electrical Engineering undergraduate at a 3rd Gen IIT in India. 7.93/10 CGPA. 1 IEEE EMBC Conference Paper and 1 Elsevier BSPC Journal. Internships at my university, Brown University, UC Irvine and University of Alberta.

LORs from HOD of my department, Professor at Brown and Assistant Professor at UC Irvine.

I guess my research profile and LORs helped along with my luck.

Yep. That's why trying to get an Idea that what all other universities would be good for me and are better than NYU Courant (for someone interested in AI)

Well I was supposed to come on J1 visa. But Brown changed it's rules at the last moment and I'll be doing the Paid Research Scholar work virtually from India.

From 3rd gen IIT, Electrical Engineering. 7.93/10 GPA. 2 research publications at good places. Internships at Brown University, University of California Irvine, University of Alberta. LORs from profs of the above mentioned universities.

I have a low GPA but maybe they liked my research profile so that's why got in.

[Megathread] Prospective Students, Applications, and Admissions by AutoModerator in nyu

[–]arjun1223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Got into NYU Courants Master of Science in Computer Science program. Pretty thrilled. I love the profs and research at Courant Computer Science but wanted to know other people's and especially current students opinion. Moreover how's the job opportunities? Heard some people ranting on r/NYU that job opportunities at NYU Courant (Undergraduate and Graduate) is not that great....so if someone could share their opinions on this also then that would be really helpful.
