i tried to type in chinese, but for some reason it didnt let me... so i'll answer your question in english and hope it helps.im not sure why you are going to study stat. if it's solely for your interest, good for you. but most of the people i know who got accepted by those two programs were actually reallocated. by that i mean they couldn't get into the mathematical finance/financial engineering program, so the school reallocate them to stat. plus, i've heard columbia and cornell have been in their downturn these recent years and have recruited a lot of international student to their second-rate master's programs to make up their financial shortage. almost all of my friends who applied for those two schools got accepted. so i seriously doubt the quality of some of their programs.as for program selection, first of all, take a look at their curriculum and see which interests you more. second, if you are planning to get your phd, the location really doesnt matter and cornell has lower living expense. but if you are planning on getting a job after the master's degree, nyc will have a lot more opportunities to offer.
