Columbia MSOR Columbia MSOR Admission Discussion

[Forza]

Awesome, thanks Andy!

 

[onthesc]

Just want to let people know that I just received email saying I'm officially accepted by MSOR, and will receive stuff in the mail next week.

 

[roni]

same here...

 

[onthesc]

Though I am a bit puzzled by the last paragraph. "If you do receive this notification by Friday, April 22nd, please email seasgradmit@columbia.edu."

 

[roni]

lol, yeah... what does it mean?

 

[Forza]

Hey fellas,

Just got my e-mail too...I guess we should all e-mail them back saying we got the e-mail? The application process has been interesting to say the least!

@roni,

Have you made up your mind yet where you are going?

 

[onthesc]

Haha seems quite silly to do so. I suppose I will, if that is what they want...

 

[ishant]

I too got the same email last night. I could not understand what is replying back means because they only have send this mail

 

[onthesc]

Maybe he forgot to include a "not" in the sentence? As in if we don't receive the housing, etc info by 4/22, we should email them. THAT makes a lot more sense.

 

[ishant]

hahaha. Things are pretty much messed up but i am sure i will join the program

Hi ishant

Have you received the same e-mail below last friday? can it be regarded as an official admission letter? I am a bit puzzled by the sentence, pending the verifiation of your admissions documents. It seems like they are still in the process of verifying my documents or am i misunderstanding it?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congratulations!

Let me be among the first to inform you that you have been admitted to the Masters of Science in Operations Research at Columbia University, pending the verification of your admissions documents. My colleagues and I hope you will join us this fall.

 

[ishant]

Hi withha,

Yes i got the same email but i guess admission is confirmed and i they also mailed me that the formal letter would be next early this week. Are you final with Columbia or looking at something else

 

[ishant]

Do all people have prior experience on these simulation tools and languages

 

[withha]

Hi ishant

Yes Columbia is my final destination. Is it the same with you? BTW, thanks for your reply.

Hey folks,

Just got an email back from Adina saying they are working on setting up another open house for those that missed the earlier April one. In the mean time, if you are anxious, they will be more than happy to host individuals also.

 

[ishant]

@witha can you please tell me where are you from.

@ Forza - Is there a way that international students who can't attend this open house can benefit from it.

 

[Forza]

@ishant,

You can always e-mail Adina (who is super helpful and has answered all my questions) your pertinent questions. Otherwise, when the open house does take place (which I will be attending), you can send me questions you have and I will be more than happy to ask them for you.

Andy also has posted some great pictures if you want to see what the campus looks like.

Hope that helps - are you going to MSOR for sure?

 

[ishant]

yes Forza i am coming to Columbia and I am very excited to know about your experience during your Army experience. I dont know much about people who are coming for this program but i hope we will make some really good friends and share the knowledge we have. I am going to learn a lot . I will mail you my questions and also please tell me where can i find the pictures
