Columbia MAFN Columbia MAFN Admission Discussion

[Alice or Mary]

And for people who did not receive any updates, will they still have a chance?

Hello Everyone!

I received an update from Columbia MAFN stating that I was placed on a short waitlist. I wanted to get a rough idea on how long it takes to give me a result, and what are the chances of getting an admit ?

Thank you so much!

Hey, I was initially placed on the wl and then received an offer only 2-3 days later, so no worries, it is indeed a "short waitlist" . BTW my offer was about a month ago.

And for people who did not receive any updates, will they still have a chance?

I'd say you still have a good chance since I remember they send offers at least till May (read it somewhere on their website I think). Also, the admission is rolling so perhaps they just haven't gone over yours yet.

Good luck to both of you!

Hi, I got an email on 15th March informing me about my waitlist status and asking me to confirm my waitlist position by 23rd March.

yeah, mine was pretty much the same. I confirmed my wl decision immediately and they sent out an offer only 2-3 days later. I have also seen a few other folks who were waitlisted and received offers a few days after they confirmed wl. I guess yours would be similar

I was in a very similar situation. I got waitlisted Feb 24 and then got admitted Feb 25. I did send an email to one of the program directors the next day expressing my interest too. I don’t know how much it helped but it definitely couldn’t have hurt.

Is there a WhatsApp for this yet?

That might not be the case this year

I agree with you now，two of my friends were placed on the waitlist in early April. They haven't received any news yet.

You should get a result by the end of the month.. are you on waitlist?

 

[merton_ns]

No not waitlisted. No news

 

[Shashank_Choudhary]

I suggest asking the department if you have a decision from another program..

 

[merton_ns]

Those who received admissions, can you please tell me when is the last date for you guys to give decision?
