NYU vs Duke

[urja_p]

Hey guys!
I have got an admit from NYU(tandon) for Financial Engineering and Duke for Computational Economics.
I know that NY has good job opportunities while Duke has reputation.
NYU has given a deadline of 28th Feb to submit a non-refundable deposit of $1000 while for Duke that deadline is 1st April. Also, I'm still waiting for the results of Columbia(MSFE)..
So what are the chances that Columbia would roll out their decisions before 28th Feb? And if they don't, then should I pay the non-refundable fee of $1000?

No way columbia would roll out before March. The FAQ says decisions will be out mid-March to late April. I've already paid the $1000 for Tandon, it's a small insurance premium to pay (compared to columbia's $4000 deposit).

Yeah, I'll probably have to pay $1000 for NYU.
Thanks
