Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Qui-Gon]

Also, do you guys think it is alright for someone to tell them that they are waiting to hear back from other schools?

Certainly. I let them know exactly that and I was granted an extension.

For those who have not received a decision yet, do you think it is alright to tell them we are facing a deadline from another program to get a decision before the deadline? Thanks!

You should definitely do it, there is no harm in asking for an early decision. Worst case - they will deny it and you will be as good as before.
Keep the other offer letter handy in case they ask for it.

Just told me it requires 6-8 weeks after the priority deadline and decision will be released soon. I followed up with another email asking whether decision will be released this week but have not received a reply yet.

Has anyone received an admit after 18th Feb? I noticed many received the admits on 9th February and then few people heard again on 18th February. Since then, there hasn’t been any communication.
Does this mean a rejection is on its way?

I think there should be more admits on the way. Just do not know when decisions will be releases as there are already 8 weeks since the priority deadline date.

I kinda view it as a pre-waitlisting as they clearly want to see how many admitted students are committed (paying deposits) to the program and decide how many more admits they want to send out.

 

[leprachaun]

Have any rejections been sent out?

 

[EvanS]

Has anyone received an admit, rejection, or redirection to OR after 18 Feb? If not, any idea when are they going to release more decisions?

I have not heard of any activity since then

 

[flytothesky]

Neither did I

 

[mdnguy]

Those who haven’t received a decision - anyone of you submitted the video in Feb? I got the video invite in Jan but it went into junk mail and only submitted my video in mid Feb. didn’t realized they sent out admits before the video deadline :/

also - was 3/8 another deposit deadline for those admitted?

 

[EvanS]

Why Columbia is not releasing the pending results? The wait is excruciating now.

 

[vcrsk]

Any news on pending results?
