Notes
Not surprising given they only have 10-15 seats per year. Have 3 years of quantitative work experience (1 as a data scientist in a tech start-up) and submitted what I thought were strong letter of recommendations from 2 professors and my manager at my current job. I initially wanted to submit 2 letters from industry, but one of my previous managers didn't submit a rec in time, so I had to scramble to find another professor from my undergrad who previously wrote me a strong letter years ago that got me into my first master's program. Also had a ML paper pending submission at time of application, but guessing they only care about published papers at the time of application? Undergrad in Economics & Mathematics from an Ivy League school and master's from another top 5 school.
