NYU Courant Math Master Or Columbia APAM Applied Math Master?
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2020 7:45 am
Hi guys,
I was recently accepted by the math master program in nyu courant and applied math master program in columbia apam. I have been considering on this for several days, can somebody share your opinions with me?
My goal(till now) is to do research in applied mathematics, and I will(I think) apply for phd program in applied math or math after graduation. I am interested in applied math, pde, analysis, etc. Here are some information about those two programs.
1. The Courant Institute is ranked 1st in applied math, while Columbia has its general reputation.
2. Courant offers students the opportunity to write a thesis if I can get a GPA above 3.7 on 18 credits, while APAM has a MS Research Specialization for students interested in it.
3. I can apply for TA in Courant while it's not possible in Columbia.
I prefer the Courant Institute for its high ranking in applied math, but people around me have different ideas preferring Columbia for its name.
Looking forward to your sharings and pls let me know if there are any more information I can share!
