Admits: UChicago FinMath (60% scholarship), NYU MathFin, UCLA MFE ($10k scholarship), UC Berkeley Stats
Rejects: Cornell MFE, CMU MSCF
Pending: Columbia DS
Joining: Leaning towards UChicago not only due to the scholarship but also the school's reputation in industry and the robust program. Also, I want to work at prop shop/quant trading firms with high/mid frequency. There are many opportunities in Chicago and I am flexible to travel to New York for super days and other face-2-face interviews.
Happy to hear any comments. Thanks!

If you haven't shared your admission results here, please do. Also, please remember to add your data to the Tracker.
If you have all the results and made your decision, please update your post. It's very important for many who are in the similar situation.

Very impressive. You must share your profile on Tracker so people can see. Congrats and enjoy your time at Princeton.
I realized I have already added the results under another account. Thank you for your kind words Andy. I think a lot more applicants will report if all the results can be submitted at once with dates as optional fields.

Sure. Currently a mechanical engineer. I went to UCSB for undergrad (2017) and worked at JPL before moving to NYC. I completed the C++ certificate, probability pre-MFE course, and ACFE pre-MFE course.

Extremely helpful for a couple of reasons. I primarily needed them to fulfill pre-reqs for the program. However, they also give you a good idea of what information is likely to be tested on the QBA and in the admission interviews. Furthermore, the professors from the program can provide letters of recommendation.

Don't know if your message asked for my background (since you replied to me) or Kevin's but here is my background anyway :
French Grande Ecole + MSc Operations Research at top 10 UK. 3.9 GPA, GRE 168Q 154V and machine learning internship amongst others. Hope it helps!
