Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[noether-skolem]

I meant I haven't received any offer email, but I did take the interview.

I can see an "Offer" tab on the application website as below:

Maybe they are doing it geographically? I took the interview on 14th Jan but didn’t get the email or see the offer tab :/

 

[lalalalalalal]

I submitted my application after the deadline. According to the website, I still have a chance if submit close to the deadline. But I have not received an interview. I'm wondering if anyone has similar experience? do I can a chance here?

Just my opinion but it might be better to stop worrying and obsessing about every possible explanation, given how little we know (and can confirm).

I'd assume they're sending admission offers on a rolling basis, so you still have a chance until they actually say "no". I'm in the same boat with CMU (probably worse as I haven't even gotten an interview invite).

I didn't submit the optional video interview too but I received the interview invite for the 5 non-technical questions some time back. I guess we should do what @noether-skolem is saying

Neither did I, just for reference. I was quite busy with work back then so when I saw "optional" my brain said "no".

I had submitted the optional video, but did not receive any interview yet. Can I assume they’re considering the optional video instead of the interview in my case?

This is the same case for ms

True !

Some people seem to be receiving Columbia MFE decisions today. I submitted on the deadline day and haven't received an interview yet. Anybody on the same boat?

Same

 

[IrisEpode]

Same here submitted after the ddl and did not receive any message since then. I

 

[Sabah]

I had submitted the application way before the deadline and yet I haven't received any communication from them. So I guess it isn't about when you have submitted the application.

 

[IrisEpode]

I didn't receive the email saying my application was under review either. Does it mean that I submitted too late to catch the ddl?

 

[Sabah]

I don't think anyone received that mail.

 

[noether-skolem]

There should be a "Thank you for submitting your application ..." email right after you submit the payment, but I don't recall anything else other than the interview invitation and admission result. They didn't even email me when my professors submitted their recommendation letters (had to login to check that the letters are received).

Small thing to point out, though I'm sure you have done so: check your junk/spam folders, amusingly every single email from Columbia I've received thus far ended up being flagged as spam.

 

[IrisEpode]

I don't think anyone received that mail.

That would be great. All I worried was that my application would be over without people even look at it. I guess the best thing that we can do for now is indeed what @noether-skolem said.

Submitted 12/11 and interviewed 1/24. I didn't receive any other notifications beyond confirmation that my application was submitted and the video interview invite. Hopefully we hear some good news soon.

 

[PongoShib]

i did the optional video, but nothing for an interview or decision yet

 

[hashedcrypt]

For those receiving the interview, did you guys do the optional video in the preliminary application? Data points seem to indicate that if you did the optional video, you don't get the interview, and vice versa. If someone can confirm that they did the optional video AND still got the interview, it's pretty much game over for those who didn't receive the interview

 

[KunjanMehta]

I know someone who had submitted the video introduction and also got the interview invite
