Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

I got a rejection today.

Hope your UCLA application gets accepted. Have you heard from them yet?

Thanks! They said they are still reviewing my application. I applied in a few MSDS programs as a backup and got accepted in a couple of them, so not really waiting for UCLA.

Let me know your final decision when you make them. Thanks. I'll be interested in where your journey goes.

Did you have any other applications somewhere else? I didn't see anything on the Tracker.

It's almost impossible to know as most people who get rejected, probably don't post about it, but from what I read there was a lot of applicants that never seemed to get a reply, or they just didn't tell us about it.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

There are many people from years past that never got off Waitlisted.

It's unclear that they didn't update the Tracker when they got a decision or just never got a decision.

I called in today and was told rolling admissions is still happening right now, however they wouldn't provide a deadline for the whole process besides by the time classes start lol.

 

[kwatz]

I got the Current Status header TODAY. Wow, I truly thought they had forgotten my application haha.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

For those anxious about admission, maybe taking a look at their hard-to-find historical acceptance rate would help.

It's been a month since they put students on waitlist but still no further results!

 

[iamsorry]

I don't think that it's worth waiting anymore. They'll just throw a rejection somewhere around mid-july. Happened in the past years!
