Hi, iv recently been offered places at the Masters in MS&E at stanford and also columbia’s MA in statistics after being forwarded from the MA in Math. Finance program. and im having a tough time deciding where to go.

I cant seem to find any reference to columbia’s MA in Statistics in any forum. Does anyone know how good it is? it seems like i can do all, if not most of the courses in the MAMF program in the MA Statistics and more because of core module requirements. is the program well regarded?

i know stanford’s MS&E masters program takes in a lot of applicants because of how broad the degree can be. how well regarded is it?

any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
