UC系吧。。其实我说的这几个就业机会感觉比哥大要多。。。当然直接回国干不过哥大。。。
你美本比我们好找工作，更不会嫌弃一年的项目。万一中个UCLA，UW，CMU，UCB或是UTA啥的，出来真的不错

我靠，梅西他娘就是屌！！哥大只能保底

我对排名没感觉 但是对哥大的资源和地理位置有好感 我也在考虑中没有做决定。
只是很不喜欢有些人动不动就黑哥大，求客观

I personally am not a fan. Columbia is a great university, but not this particular department. I'm not sure if stat departments elsewhere are similar.

GETTING IN: I'm pretty sure they'll accept anyone willing to pay. There was a student who was taking calculus and linear algebra, which were supposed to be prereqs to admission. I was an econ major at a Top 20 UG with a 3.6 GPA. The only relevant courses I took were calc 3, linear algebra, intro stat, and econometrics.

PROGRAM: Only 8 classes; no thesis. There are 4 required classes plus 4 electives. The stat department courses are all theoretical; they just started offering an applied track this year which is just 2 additional applied courses. If you want proof-based courses, the stat department is just for you. If you want stats with applications, I recommend takings classes in engineering, computer science, biostat, business, economics, or poli sci.

FACULTY: Most grad classes are taught by adjunct faculty, including the program advisor so don't expect any guidance/support from him. I find him very mean. Most of the professors are nice, but not that great at teaching. It seems the good teachers only teach undergrad classes.

STUDENTS: Another reason to take classes outside the stat department. Prepare for a culture shock. 95% of the students are Chinese. You probably won't hear English in the classrooms aside from the professor. They are also notorious for cheating (on exams, copying homework answers, having solution manuals, etc). By no means am I trying to be racist, but cheating is much more prevalent and acceptable in Chinese cultures (Asians cheat like mad on US college apps | GlobalPost). Most of them will score 100s on the homework. Exams are fair-game if the professor takes measures to prevent cheating; otherwise, don't expect too much of a curve.

OVERALL: Despite the above, I think the fact that you can choose any 4 electives provides a lot of flexibility to customize your program. Just be sure to check out classes in different departments and do a lot of course shopping. Take the time to educate yourself; don't expect the department to guide you. If you want a friendlier student atmosphere, I recommend QMSS which has easier required classes but you can choose tough electives.

HINT: After you do two semesters of full-time, there is a very deep discount if you do another semester (only $8000 to take up to six courses). Of course, you shelled out $40,000 to get to that discount.
