TOEFL

I have been working in the U.S. for the past 3 years. I am planning to take the MFE course as a part time student. Do I need to submit TOEFL score with my application?

You can request a Toefl waiver by sending email to baruch.mfe@gmail.com

I have just submitted the online application for baruch MFE program. Just wonder whether I am in round 1 or round 2? How soon will I get any response? (within one month?) I can't see this from the website. There is no clear timeline for each round.

Thanks

There are no application rounds for the Baruch MFE Program. All applications are evaluated on a rolling basis once they are complete. You should expect a response within four to six weeks of the application being complete, but usually much faster.

Good luck!

The best way to keep track of this is to add your case to Application Tracker and look at the timelines of other applicants.

The average time from submit to decision is 49 days according the Tracker.

Hi Andy, do u know why I can't log in the track system with the default user name and password? I just submitted the online application yesterday. Is it because of time lag? Thanks

While I can't officially answer that, I'm very certain that your file is not in the system yet.
It should be there by their next update.

Hello everyone!

Whenever I try to check my application status via the Application Status Tracker, I got the following message :

Baruch MFE Application Status System
Thank you very much for applying the Baruch College MS Program in Financial Engineering. Unfortunately, the Admissions Committee will not be able to make a decision on your application, because it is still incomplete as of now. "

It is now been 10 days since I am trying to contact someone at baruch.mfe@gmail.com but I never received any message back to solve this issue.

I would like to know if someone had the same problem and what should I do to solve it.

Thanks!

You need to contact the Grad Admission Office because they are the ones holding your file. The Baruch MFE program only get the files and evaluate when they are complete so asking the MFE people why your case is complete is not going to do any good.

Andy, thank you very much for your attention.

Cathy answered that

"You application was completed and it went to committee a decision letter
was mailed to you on February 9, 2010."

So it seems that my application status was not updated in the online system but a final decision was already made and it was sent to me by postal mail. Right?

In this case, I wonder if it is possible to request an update on my online application tracker since this postal mail could take a long time to arrive here in the far Brazil

Since nobody got admitted without an interview so decision without interview is mostly a REJECT.

 

[niski]

I was interviewed :]

Question:
On the website, it's said that "The first round of application evaluations will be at the beginning of December". So even if I submit my application today, I need wait until then to be reviewed? Is there any particular advantage to submit it earlier?

Thanks,

Is there any particular advantage to submit it earlier?

As far as I know, there isn't any advantage.

The admission standard is the same regardless of when you submit your application. Good luck!

We evaluate applications on a rolling basis. We usually begin evaluating applications in November and conducting interviews in December.

Your chances may be the same, but your decision timeline can be drastically different.
