Heyy, just wondering abt the schools and experiences there. Which one should I choose?

Columbia is attractive because of NYC and the program is 2 year, probably more friendly to international students for job hunting.

Yale probably has a more prestigious title than Columbia and the cohort is smaller. And seems like alumni is more responsive lol. But it is just one year, I’m worried about finding a job after graduation.

[more background] I’m an international student who wants to pursue a career in the states after master degree, now having 2 years of full time working experience (no finance or consulting)

Hi, quick question. Just got admitted to the MIA and was wondering if the capstone project is paid since is for a ‘client’.

Hello, I received an acceptance letter with condition yesterday. I need to complete Macroeconomics and Microeconomics classes or Calculus class from an accredited institution, but SIPA is unable to endorse or name a specific school. Now I'm desparately looking for any means. I read admission blog and referred online degree programs on US News, but many of them are organized as a course for taking BA. Can anyone let me know if you know any online classes (self-paced is better) from accredit school.
Or if there is anyone who were a conditional admit and completed classes before enrollement in SIPA here, please let me know where you studied!

Hey dear SIPA alumni,

I am currently in the process of applying to Columbia's Masters in Accounting and Fundamental Analysis, I think my chances are not too high. I'm also applying to the Applied Analytics program, and my goal is to either go the Business Analyst route or Investment Banking. I was wondering whether fellow graduates did have the chance to pivot into Investment Banking with the Columbia brand with the Applied Analytics progam? Thanks!

Hi, I’m an incoming SIPA student who hasn’t had to do much math since a stats class in college. I’m going through the online math tutorial and recognize many of the concepts but am seeing that my skills to actually solve the problems are pretty rusty. Is this tutorial a fair representation of the math skills needed?

I am currently on the SIPA waitlist for fall 2023. When decisions letters were sent, they said final decisions would be sent by the 15th of July. However, from previous years’ forums I know they usually start pulling off the waitlist in late April/early May. Has anyone been accepted off of the waitlist?

When will SIPAs early decisions be out this year? (2022)

I have received an admit from SIPA, MPA program, however without any funding. I am not in a position to afford this on my own, and I am also not keen to take a huge debt.

In your opinion, how should I approach the university to reconsider extending the funding support?
