At least 10-20 nankai students will enter Columbia in MFE/OR/Finance/MAFN

Many get offers from Columbia, Rutgers, Cornell FE, some from yale statistics
PhD or Masters (1 or 2 from school of mathematics), very few from Harvard (1
in Public Health Yu Xiao, Phd in Statitcs), 1 from pure mathematics got offer
from Cambridge. None from courant, some from NYU poly.
A professor is a graduate from Rutgers, more likely to be admitted.
