Columbia MAFN Columbia MAFN decisions...

But I have heard you have full access to the NYU career services there.

It should be noted that NYU-Poly students can only get access to Wasserman which is general career services center available to all NYU students.
They do NOT get access to career services that available to the NYU MSFM students. This won't change in the future.

Ohh...Okay.

Thanks Andy. So Columbia is better choice in your opinion? I am personally inclined towards it. Just a little skeptical due the market situation and the reviews of the career services at MAFN.

It means that you are admitted with a probability (1-e), where e is infinitesimal You should be waiting for the GSAS dean approval (by the way who has nothing to do with mathematics- specialized in Romance Languages). In my case, I received my official adm. letter signed by the Dean couple of hours after Pr. Smirnov emailed me saying that he has recommended me for adm.
So, congrats man!

I can confirm you that in my case the official email arrived some days later the Smirnov's one.

I have been admitted! thanks dudes!! see you soon.^^

Hi, could I ask how many days after Prof Smirnov's note you receive official admission letter? Great thanks^^

Hey guys, this might be a little off topic but I was wondering whether anyone had applied for housing with the University. I have applied in April but haven't got anything from them yet.

Thanks!

Andy Nguyen - I'd like the potential group feature on QN that was brought up on the UCB thread

Is anyone still awaiting admission decision?

 

[MSH]

Has anyone who has been Waitlisted for the MAFN program heard from the university ? Is There any way to contact them ? What are our chances really ? Most of the students who got accepted here might have already gotten into better programs right ? So arent our odds still good ?

Did you hear from university?

Join this group if you are gonna join this fall...

This is wrong guys... Joining this fall means graduating in 2013, not 2012
( the one for 2012 is there : https://www.facebook.com/groups/103429539750100/ )

Actually I also sent the same concern to the moderator of that group but he said that it's like Columbia Mafn (joining) 2012 ...Definitely on the lines of last year's group ...Columbia University M.A in Mathematical Finance class of 2013 would have been a better option

Is this going to be Columbia MAFN 2012 (or 2013) students?
