Hi It would be great if you guys could help me decide between the 2 colleges. I have got MS CS in both of them without any aid. I do not have any special preferences for the MS subject but then I am not enthusiastic about Theory of Computation and Architecture. So this way Columbia with its special tracks like NLP and Graphics seems more appealing to me. Also, I would depend on some kind of aid so that would be a factor in my decision. Cost of living in NYC is high so Gatech would have an advantage there. In terms of rankings, both are almost equally rated for CS, so they cannot form the basis for my decision. Also, my ultimate aim is placement and not Phd. Please do reply with your thoughts :)

Has anybody heard from Penn State CS department regarding their MS decisions? They were to give the result till the end of March but seem to be delaying further!
