So all in all we don't really know for sure. Best thing we can do is update the thread if we receive anything then we can have a better idea of when the rest of us should hear something.

Does that mean that Columbia reached out to you that it's broken? In that case it would mean that they have reviewed/are reviewing the first set of invitations. If they reached out, when did they reach out?

Most likely. They reached out to me yesterday night (in Italy).

I see, so they have just started review. So 2 weeks of review easily I suppose.

No one knows. It’s possible that they reached out to him after reviewing all interview records of the applicants

Looks like Princeton like to reject..

Do you guys know if it's possible to still get in without getting an interview invite?

 

[pushkark]

Anyone knows if we would be able to get an offer from Columbia MathFin if we applied to MFE only? Till last year, they used to make admission offers to MSOR and MS MathFin if you were not able to crack MFE.

Hi, Usually, those missed MFE would be redirected to MSOR. Do you mean that the students who were not able to be admitted to MFE could be redirect to MathFin as well?

MathFin is in another department and MFE only redirect you to the MSOR program which is in the same Dept (IEOR). You need to apply separately for MathFin .

I would think not, since it's already very competitive to get in

 

[pushkark]

Guys, should we expect the results tomorrow? I guess many schools have fee deposit deadlines on 15th March.

 

[Geekynoob]

I have a feeling tomorrow can be the day I would know whether or not I am going to New York.

If anyone gets accepted/rejected tomorrow, please do share immediately on this forum. Would be very much appreciated.

Does anyone have any idea whether columbia would be redirecting to MSOR this time also?

My friend applied for MFE last year and was redirected to MSOR at the end of March (around 3/29).

 

[Pruthvi kancherla]

Thank You for the information Susan. Current student in columbia mfe told me that columbia was considering to stop redirection to msor. I just wanted to know whether its true.

And did she get a reject from MFE, or directly diverted to MSOR?

Oh really? We will see then lol.

I'm not sure. She just told me that she received an email on 3/29 saying that MFE was not able to take her but can offer her an admission to MSOR.
