Columbia MFE Columbia MFE 21

will they get mad and withdraw the offer?

No they won't. I didn't apply to Columbia MFE, but I asked for extensions for two schools and both happily gave me extra time. Worst thing that can happen is them telling you no.

Any updates?

Any updates?

Nope. It's been too long. I'm expecting a rejection soon :D

Yep, same

Last year also some results were called out quite late. I think those who applied late are yet to receive the result

 

[hridaypurohit]

Yep, I guess, because I got the "application under review" email, just the next day after the first batch of results were sent out. And after that, it has pretty much been silent.

Has anyone received a rejection yet? I noticed someone updated a rejection on the tracker a few minutes back.

I think it's highly possible that they have enough people deferred from last year and just need to accept a few this year, which they did already in February. For the rest, they might hold until June to in case anyone withdraw before the school starts. We might all just get an rejection letter in June? i guess. Doesn't it sound very Columbia ?

As logical as that sounds, I hope it’s not the truth.

Do you think it makes sense to call up the admissions committee? This is high time and its unfair to the applicants to keep them waiting for so long.

Do let us know about their response, and yes I totally agree with your POV.

Well, they didn't pick up so I sent an email. Knowing how slow they are in responding, I am not sure when I will have any valuable information tbh. Because its March-end, most of us have to respond to other schools too and knot knowing about Columbia is a bit problematic.

 

[KangZG]

Are they just assuming that we will give up other school for them no matter how we have responded to other school ? Tbh, I feel even more disappointed than getting rejection.

I think this link might be useful for everyone who is waiting for MSFE (note, I am not one of them)

Although I do find it extremely odd that while the decision timeline is late feb, the status is still stuck at some decisions made.

Thanks!
From what I know, the latest batch was sent on February 18th, other people (including me) got an email about "Application under review" on the 19th. So I guess the everyone in the second batch is awaiting for their decisions.
