Columbia MAFN Columbia MAFN Admission Discussion

[diegosanaz]

I have no idea about that. But for the sake of our mental health I think we should look at it as if we were going to receive the decision on April. That way if it comes sooner it will be perceived as a pleasant surprise. BTW, I think that if by next week your score is still in awaiting you should contact them about it.

The Columbia MAFN has an average of 67 days for application-decision process. This is according to our Tracker.
You should always use this as a benchmark to see whether you are beyond the normal process.
If you are a few weeks ahead of the avg number, don't worry too much.

Actually I submitted the application last Nov. But I sent the score early this month, so I have no idea that someone got admitted by saying his TOFEL is also "awaiting"

I submitted the application on Dec and sent the score before the submission.
But, my status is still awaiting. I sent an email asking about this last week and still wait for the answer.

So you and I are in the same situation now, I don't want to wait so long...

Hi Guys, how did you see your TOEFL/GRE status? I logged in to https://apply.gsas.columbia.edu/apply/ and it was showed as "Submitted", I clicked into it and I didnt see the session for TOEFL and GRE..Am I missing anything? Anyone got the same situation?

Looks like Columbia is going to welcome new students with a 25% jump in tuition for 2013-2014.

No matter how it increases, it would never be higher than MIT and CMU...

 

[diegosanaz]

sad about the increase, but I will worry first about getting admitted. Anyone got any news on that?

I don't care about the tuition as well, I am also waiting for a decision

you should click on "2013 fall" and open the application.

About the status, I received answer from GSAS. They have received my score reports but the program has not run yet so my status is still not updated.(i am not sure what program they are talking about)
They said my application will be reviewed using the scores I entered on the application.

 

[diegosanaz]

Did they tell you when they were going to review your application??

so it doesn't matter if the official one is received or not? they will review your application anyway?

This is what they said

We have not yet run the program which matches GRE and TOEFL's to applicants' files. The process may take several more weeks to be completed. The APPLICATION STATUS page will be updated to reflect receipt of those scores when the program has run. If the program has not been run before the department begins to consider applications, your application will be reviewed using the test scores you entered on the application, along with any uploaded copies of your score reports.

It's just an official reply...

 

[diegosanaz]

Things have been silent for a while. I wonder when they are going to send admissions again.

Me too, since there's a long period for them to review, so I don't expect the result coming out so soon, I am busy with my CFA level 2 and my last semester...

Has anyone heard anything more about this program? Many of the programs that I am applying to are so, so silent. Silent to be scary......
