Maybe send them a check or EFT it? Have you talked to them about other options?

Hi,
Is there anyone who is facing problem with submitting $2500 by 1 credit card. Actually i dont have any credit card having limit more than $2000. Any suggestion how can i pay the fee. I mailed them stating that can i slipt this payment in 2 credit cards but they refused. Please suggest any other way. Columbia university is highly incooperative
Hey apply for a credit limit increment and ask for an extension stating the same. The university is highly cooperative and provided me with an extension of 10 days, as I also had same problem.

Hey everyone!

So glad to see you guys here chatting all about going MSOR at Columbia and housing issues. I also got into the program and have paid $2500 to enroll in Fall 2011.
I am graduating this May with BS in Mathematics and Statistics and minor in Actuarial Science in Miami University. BTW, I am an international student from China. I am new to this area and just have taken 2 intro courses on the topic of operation research (stochastic process and deterministic modeling). I found both quite interesting.

With respect to housing, there is an "international house" for graduate students which is also very close to campus. I am going to visit NYC after my graduation ceremony and try to check it out.

Thanks! I took stochastic modeling in fall 2010 and currently taking deterministic modeling in this semester, both from computer science department.

The professor used the same book for both courses : "Operations Research: Applications and Algorithms", W. A. Winston, 4th Edition, Thomson, 2004. The topics in the courses covered several chapters in the book. It is a quite great book with clear examples and texture, though it is very expensive.
