Chicago MSFM Chicago MSFM Admission Discussion

[sherlockdeep]

I think they just want this class of 2020 online and they deliberately pushing the dates so that VISA issues come in at later dates and they have some excuse.

 

[sherlockdeep]

It's mentioned on their website that they will announce the result till April and we're in June and no explanation whatsoever.
I'm thinking I wasted my 90$ on this school.

 

[sherlockdeep]

Any update guys ?

Hi All, The Financial Mathematics program received an incredibly large number of applications this year. Each week, letters of admission and denial have been sent out. For Round 1 applicants, 98.2% of applicants have received their decision. I am sorry to hear some of you are a part of the 1.8% of applicants who have not. Please feel free to e-mail me at memuir@uchicago.edu to discuss further. I am sorry to hear you felt your application fee was waste of money or even worse, that you think the program would purposefully delay visas for our students. Nothing could be further from the truth, as incoming students can attest that we are currently doing everything in our power to ensure a smooth and efficient matriculation.

 

[sherlockdeep]

Thanks for the response.

Could you please tell what is the percentage applicants from round 2 have received the decision?

I would love to have a conversation with you personally, as you've stated a few issues you have that I would like to address. Please go ahead and e-mail me!

As for Round 2 applicants, we've been able to get 65% of applicants their admission decision. We hope to have all final decisions out soon. We apologize for the delay but were so glad to have such a large number of well-qualified applicants apply this year.

As stated on our website, "We recommend non-US citizens apply in Round 1 to allow sufficient time for processing visa documentation."

 

[sherlockdeep]

Any update guys?

 

[Meredith]

Yes, at this time, all Round 1 applicants have received their admissions decision. 89% of Round 2 applicants have received their admissions decision. Any applicants who received or will receive their admissions decision in June will have their application fee refunded.

Wow, this is great! I haven't heard back from NYU courant at this point, and I paid 150 dollars of application fee...

 

[Gianna]

Yes, at this time, all Round 1 applicants have received their admissions decision. 89% of Round 2 applicants have received their admissions decision. Any applicants who received or will receive their admissions decision in June will have their application fee refunded.

That's awesome! So do you mean that all the admission decisions will come out in June? If not, when the decisions will approximately come out? Thank you!

Hi guys, so I have submitted my application to the Uchicago msfm program for the first round (on january) but heard nothing since then. Is there anyone who got admits/rejection ? When we should expect to get response?

 

[xmdd]

Same here. Submitted before the deadline in January and haven’t heard anything yet. The trackers show that there was a batch released at the time last year. Since today is the last weekday of February, we can wait till the end of day to see if anything happens.

 

[doubleohseven]

Hoping to hear something today since other people did last year, but on their website it says results should be communicated by March 18th at latest

 

[David Liam]

Didn't have anything yet either :/. Anyone received something?

 

[hridaypurohit]

Nope :/ Still awaiting their decision.

 

[kiwih]

Anyone contacted the admission office?

 

[Harrypotter]

When can we expect decision from the university?

 

[tips]

no idea, but if you're really eager to know I would recommend emailing the admissions team
