Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[anonymoushaha]

Starting from this Monday, I heard admissions from Columbia MFE every day.

What's the amount of ADs Columbia send everyday? Does this mean the end of ADs is approaching?

 

[miaaaaa]

Does anyone know why Columbia University does not send rejection letters?

I think they will send letters soon. I received the email that the system would be maintained this afternoon. I think they are going to set the system and begin to send a lot of rejection letters.

Hahaha that's funny!

Aren't you a pocket full of sunshine

Probably you're right. Oh well.

Thanks a lot, the best is yet to come! Don't be frustrated as I estimate that it still remains tens of positions.

有一个不是那么有力的推测。因为某留学中介在17fall 哥大mfe录了100人的时候拿了24个offer，在18fall录了120人的时候拿了24个offer，然而今年他家现在的数字是21. 考虑到他家在留学中介的竞争力实际上是越来越强的，所以可以boldly assume还剩余一些~

Well for those people who don't speak Chinese I will explain how I deduce this result here.
In China there is a famous intermediary agent for MFE application which assembles a large proportion of applicants, let's check its data.
For 2017Fall (finally a class of 100 students), they received 24 offers.
For 2018Fall (finally a class of 120 students), they received 32 offers.
For 2019Fall, this number is 21 for now.
As this agent has actually been booming these years we can figure out it does remain some positions.

When was this given? In February or March?

Very reasonable. GGU is so powerful.

 

[epiphamus]

Congrats on MIT admit. Please do let me know what the response is in case you decide to contact Columbia.

response was pretty much to suck it up and wait haha

 

[billyvan]

I used to like Columbia until I met NYU Finmath. Byebye columbia. 1year program sucks

Sure one year program? Seems so many counterparts have changed into 1 year and a half. Indeed too short time span will impact negatively on placement.

 

[ssssyyf]

Is anyone still waiting for admits? Is there still room for admits?

 

[miaaaaa]

Is anyone still waiting for admits? Is there still room for admits?

No ideas

Yesterday, I heard someone has received ad. I think there is still room

 

[kiryu]

Still haven't heard anything from Columbia MFE while my other admits' deposit deadlines are approaching.
Is there still room for ad? Am I rejected?
