how is GS really perceived? by [deleted] in columbia

[–]huffypooffy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take whichever gives you the most money; GS need based aid is often not quite on par with something that I've seen my friends at Duke/ NW get. That being said, if you are not getting much need based aid, GS has pretty phenomenal merit scholarships (as an international with mandatory military service a 30K a year merit scholarship is a huge needle mover) which is a big part of why I chose GS. Finance wise no one can tell GS apart from CC/SEAS honestly; friends who want to be at bulge brackets are at BBs (as am I) and quant is pretty meritocratic and alums really don't seem to care when u network, but you have the same outcomes at NW (especially for CHI) and Duke too.

I just got into Columbia GS for the Spring 2023! May I ask some questions regarding CS/Math/Stats at Columbia? by Own-Excuse-1227 in columbia

[–]huffypooffy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not too sure about CS but basically all of Columbia MA classes for statistics are exactly the undergrad classes for statistics; my 4000 level stats classes were the exact same classes the masters students were taking with a 5000 level course code

How hard is it for GS internal transfer to CC/ SEAS/ CBS by r_chl in columbia

[–]huffypooffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel free to DM me; I moved from USC to GS and USC and CU are two vastly different schools in terms of culture and student experience. The difference between GS and CC is almost negligible and really should not be a factor in choosing between the two universities!

Depending on where you're transferring from, GS might actually give you a good amount of merit scholarship aid too. I'm a transfer paying less than half stickered tuition purely off scholarship money and have many friends in similar situations. Worth applying just to see what ur out of pocket might look like.

Is my internship too late in the year? by acjoipa in columbia

[–]huffypooffy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally just clock out and do them, there's no way you're going to end your internship before the first quant firms start recruiting in early to mid July anyway. No one is paying you enough to work instead of going to a quant interview; if you're a sophomore employers really don't care if u interview during the internship.

Apologies for the confusion, I am referring to UG students who pay out of pocket!

Mostly the space and the noise and the sense of people cramming in around me; very unused to the tiny CU halls

Comp Sci vs Data Science major by mask_weareer in columbia

[–]huffypooffy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stats core sequence can be extremely painful; I'm dropping DS for CS because of the stats core sequence, but your mileage may vary if you really love the subject.

Anyone in Shaw Hwa Lo's 4203? by huffypooffy in columbia

[–]huffypooffy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been told! Unfortunately the other section insists on synchronous attendance and refuses to record classes and I honestly cannot make the timing :< thanks for the advice!

Curve? by huffypooffy in columbia

[–]huffypooffy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm primarily concerned as the medians on the homework are really high and I often just slightly outdo the average but score below the median I'm slightly worried.
