Dear Professor Morris,

I hope everything is going well. Once again, I want to thank you for your support to help me apply for the graduate programs. After months of waiting, I received the admission offer letters from Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University, Rochester University, NYU, and the University of Southern California. I cannot make this achievement without your help, thank you very much!

And right now, I am still haven't decided between M.S. in Applied Analytics program at Columbia University's School of Professional Studies and M.S. in Analytics at the University of Southern California. I know you lived in New York for more than two decades. Can you please give me any advice about these two schools? And also, if you are a recruiter or a manager of a company, will you have any kind of bias for the students who graduated from the school of professional study?

Thank you very much. I hope you and your families stay safe and healthy in this period.

Best wishes,
