The admissions committee meeting is happening today. That will give me more clarity on the timeline. Stay tuned!

Some portion of waitlist offers will be send for processing this week. Others will remain in the waitlist pool for a bit longer

Hi! Will the next batch of decision also be mostly if not all waitlists?
Any timeline for those who have not received any decisions yet?

 

[Charles CZ]

Does that mean only those in the waitlist will be considered for offer?

Yes, the group of the newest offers will be for folks from the waitlist. We are getting ready to deliver another round of offers from among both the waitlisted students who do not get this round's offers as well as new and old applications. This will happen in a few weeks as we are awaiting responses from the students who already received offers a few weeks ago. If you applied and did not hear from us - do not worry. Your application is being considered.

Dear @IzabelaRutkowski,

If I was placed on the waitlist on March 1 instead of February 27, should I assume that the offers extended to those on the waitlist were primarily for individuals who were waitlisted earlier? Additionally, given that the deadline for the last batch of offers is March 27, will the next batch of offers be released a few days after this date, or is it possible for some individuals on the waitlist to receive their responses at any time before March 27?

Will all future batch of decisions be released after the deposit deadlines of prior batch?

 

[mariosniper]

Just wondering by any chance have someone got an acceptance deadline deferral from the program?

 

[strattb]

The deadline to apply for the program is May 9. Since offers are already been extended, does that mean the later one applies is it more challenging/competitive to get accepted?

 

[WSBquant]

Pretty sure by now, most offers should have been given / soon as with any other school. There are progs such as UCB CMU or Uchicago which are also open now

But there is a small chance since it’s rolling

Incoming Student Summer Program

In the MAFN program, we believe that the groundwork for success in the program starts during the summer before students begin their studies, which is a great time to boost their programming skills and get a head start on the internship search. This is why starting June, we are offering virtual...
