Hi,
Is there anyone who is facing problem with submitting $2500 by 1 credit card. Actually i dont have any credit card having limit more than $2000. Any suggestion how can i pay the fee. I mailed them stating that can i slipt this payment in 2 credit cards but they refused. Please suggest any other way. Columbia university is highly incooperative

Hey apply for a credit limit increment and ask for an extension stating the same. The university is highly cooperative and provided me with an extension of 10 days, as I also had same problem.

I have stated my reason to them and asked for extension but they are not willing to provide me with an extension.

Hey ishant,

Did you speak with Adina? She has help me throughout this whole process, and I bet she can provide you with some assistance...

Hey everyone!

So glad to see you guys here chatting all about going MSOR at Columbia and housing issues. I also got into the program and have paid $2500 to enroll in Fall 2011.
I am graduating this May with BS in Mathematics and Statistics and minor in Actuarial Science in Miami University. BTW, I am an international student from China. I am new to this area and just have taken 2 intro courses on the topic of operation research (stochastic process and deterministic modeling). I found both quite interesting.

With respect to housing, there is an "international house" for graduate students which is also very close to campus. I am going to visit NYC after my graduation ceremony and try to check it out.

Hi Catche nice to hear that you are coming welcome to the club.
Tell me when have you taken 2 intro classes

 

[Moksha]

Hey guys,

Where do you accept/deny the offer?

Thanks.

 

[onthesc]

@roni, did you get an email from seasgradmit giving you a link to view your letter? in the letter there is a link to the accept/deny form.

 

[roni]

@onthesc

Right, I'm clicking the link and inputting my info but then I have a choice:
Application for Admission
Reactivation and Current Student Application

I'm clicking either one and it gives me a full application to fill out (including rec. letters, etc.).
Looks like I'm doing something wrong.

 

[onthesc]

@roni,

there is a link between them that says

Decision Status: Available beginning 4/18/2011
Your application decision is now available online

 

[roni]

@onthesc

I guess they were working on it, it's available right now...
Thanks.

@ishant

Thanks! I took stochastic modeling in fall 2010 and currently taking deterministic modeling in this semester, both from computer science department.

Thats nice could you please tell which books are you referring ( Some basic material) if one wants to get prepared for the program

The professor used the same book for both courses : "Operations Research: Applications and Algorithms", W. A. Winston, 4th Edition, Thomson, 2004. The topics in the courses covered several chapters in the book. It is a quite great book with clear examples and texture, though it is very expensive.

Miami University in Oxford, OH. I know the name of my school is confusing, though it's a good school for undergraduate-study.
