Chicago MSFM Chicago MSFM Admission Discussion

[grcheng]

Just wondering if anyone receive acceptance/rejection email already? I didn't get anything since applied.

From the tracker data, it seems like the first wave of admits will be sent out around the 2nd week of March.

i c ,thanks jackcoke

From their website...

"Admission letters will be sent out via e-mail continuously throughout the period March 16 to 31, 2012. All applicants will be notified of the decisions by April 15, 2012. These dates apply to Chicago applicants only.

If you have not heard from us by April 15, feel free to contact us at finmathadmissions@uchicago.edu"

[cypanic]

Not that high. It would be around 10% this year.

Any source for this?

How did you get this?

 

[ccsse]

no way. they have received around 850 applications. considering the class size >100, they should release at least 200-400 admissions.. then 30% make sense i suppose

 

[cypanic]

does the class size include part-time students?

 

[Crazytony]

Someone in Uchicago told me that class size is less than 100 for this year.

For this year, I suspect that we will see a sharp spike in enrollment at the Singapore campus...Reason being that Chicago has just launched a separate onsite prep program at the Singapore campus....

How would it lead to an increased batch size and also do you have any idea of career services @ SG
