<p>Hi</p>

<p>I ve got through MS Computer Science at SEAS and have picked the Network Systems track. I wanted to major/specialize in Networks and am wondering whether SEAS would be the way to go. </p>

<p>I would be looking to do work in my field during summer internship and would wanna get placed in a Co. (irrespective of domain) working in the field of networks. I wot even mind setting up networks for finance cos. </p>

<p>I have also got thru Viterbi in USC n North Carolina State.</p>

<p>Would SEAS be the way to go? Also I would wanna pursue either a PhD. or an MBA later in my career.</p>

2

<p>Straight out..</p>

<p>Why should I pay more for Columbia ?</p>

3

<p>by "getting through", do you mean "getting into" or "getting accepted by"?</p>

4

<p>Why would anyone pay for a Masters degree? Get into a funded grad program.</p>

5

<p>What do you mean by funded grad program?</p>

6

<p>Which word don't you get? It's pretty clear what a funded grad program is.</p>

7

<p>damn you columbia2002, don't make me laugh at 11:33 at night. People are trying to sleep.</p>

8

<p>Grad programs recruit students to work for reciprocal benefits to the grad programs and students, thus funding the grad programs. Obvious commons.</p>

9

<p>i.e. They give you money instead of you giving them money.</p>

10

<p>Forget funded grad prgrams for a min. Becaise I m sure international students like me might not really be eligible for them.</p>

<p>About funding all 3 Univs have come back to me (via email) and have told me that no funding is available !</p>

<p>So.. the question is Why should I pay more at Columbia over the other 2 ? What kinda benefits would I be expecting ?</p>

11

<p>By benefits I mean.. what would a Columbia give me that a NC State might not ?Are grad placements or internships at SEAS better ??</p>

12

<p>probably. How much of a total difference in cost are we talking about?</p>

<p>Columbia's grad program has got to be 60-70%+ international and those people are undoubtedly funded.</p>
