我的统计学教授说虽然"Columbia has a large MS program, but as it must have hundreds of applications, it's still an honor to be admitted." 她的原话,她还说“Columbia's MS program is an excellent preparation for Ph.D., but it is also reputable for not admitting its own MS students."
我的学校统计项目之前被NRC排美国8-15档次。我教授负责Ph.D. 招生,她说她会考虑优秀的Columbia MS学生。
去Columbia利用好三学期最高学分上限,除了那5门所谓的水core,选剩下10门好一点的课,还是很有希望的!
