Chicago MSFM Chicago MSFM Admission Discussion

[Yuheng Wang]

Just got mine, with "FinMath Alpha Scholarship" to cover 60% of total tuition.

There was no email alert! I saw a few offers here and then went to check mine - what a nice surprise!

Congratulations! Did you find your ad in the 'recent activities' part of the portal?

Could those who got admitted briefly elaborate on their background? So stressed right now and just want some insights. Thanks!

 

[Frank Chen]

Can I assume that admissions released recently were all with a 30% or 60% scholarship and those without will coming later?

I guess so

Have a look at the tracker

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Using the Tracker, you can filter by the programs and admit status. This way, you can look at the profiles of everyone admitted by Chicago.

Yes, I received the email notification about 2 hours ago without any scholarship. I submitted the application on 1/12, the very exact day of the deadline.

To note, the admission told me in the info session that they would take 60-70% in R1.

Yes. I would expect they send out 200+ offers a year. So maybe 130 in R1

Thank you for your information.

Thank you for your information.

I started to panic because I thought if I got admitted, I should receive 0 scholarship. But I didn't hear anything yet.

I just got admitted with a scholarship about 2 hours ago. So I think they are still sending out scholarships.

 

[Yuheng Wang]

Thanks for everyone's new information. Seems admissions without scholarship began to be released. But I still have no ideas now about the orders by which they send emails --- seems no to be the submission date.

 

[Frank Chen]

Anyone hears back today?

I believe it was 86k + living.

Was it 30% or 60%?
