我还拿到UMICH econ AD 无奖、Tufts econ AD 学费减半、Vandy econ AD、 Ge ...
if i were you, i will consider NYU Econ VS Columbia Stat too.
Tufts econ is a good progrma for academic, but since her reputaiton in indsutry is far not as solid as others.
Georgetown, Vandy are both good school, but UMich, NYU, and Columbia are beter.....
UMich.....the other concern is indeed, the location.
2. 我可以說, 如果NYU Econ碩士是騙錢的話, Columbia Stat的碩士就是更加騙錢的...........(yup....i will say most US master are 騙錢的.....).
當NYU MA Econ還是同時有part-time mode的時候, Columbia Stat master已經"升級" 到有online/on site hybird mode......Columbia某些faculty的開源賺錢的能力, 絕對不是大多數美國top school比得上的.
3. 學校的聲譽無疑重要, 不過when both of them are enough to bring one to the interview.....剩下的就是其本人的hard & soft skill, personality counts much more than the name of the school.
一個課程水不水, 一來當地業界是會知道的. 業界人仕不會走去逐個program syllabus的話, 不過看著那個international student ratio, intake的人數, 還有之前interview過的舊生時表現的反饋, 已經足夠.
二來是technical job的話來個technical interview就見真章了.
