Undergrad is not always same as MS for some international students, especially those looking for work in the US. But functionally it can be from a strong program.

@quyaoxian your post is so frustrating in many ways. Surely you looked into double major before if it is so important to you. Yes I see from a post before that you did and found out no. Just minor or take what extra math you can if you are doing CS. If you want a math grad program then major in math and take what you can in CS. I do find ND a bit of a strange target. And you put way to much stock in rankings. The rankings between the two schools don’t matter much to anyone. And you have no guarantee of the Columbia transfer, right?

I find it silly for you to think you will be as comfortable now that you are in a new place as in a place you have spent more time. But I do know a sophomore there I can introduce you to if you like. She is American but originally from Taiwan–not religious. PM me and I will email her.
