Hey dizzy, their master's program (MIMS) is the degree that my wife has (although it was called SIMS when she went there).

it looks like a really neat program-- the students are very nice (and wide interests, it looks like), the program goes in all sorts of neat directions, and i'll be danged if the Bay Area ain't a great place to live. I wish I'd had the foresight to apply in time. If I don't make it into Madison (or decide not to go), it's definitely on my list for next year.

And I only see this a few weeks later.

That is insane.

I like that I'm just some undergrad schmuck on the other end of the country.
