Has anyone been waitlisted? I went through all the replies above and didn’t see anyone got waitlisted/rejected? Does that mean there is still a chance for people who have no updates so far to get an admit?

Yeah definitely still have a chance, depending on how many people accept their offers. Columbia gave me 2 weeks after the day the offer was made to accept, so I’m assuming the automatically offered the place to someone else now

I don't think there have been any rejections or waitlist notices yet, I guess, unlike previous years, they should be sending offers on a rolling basis this year, but interestingly enough, I have noticed that many of my friends who have received offers have rejected them...

Why are most people disinterested in joining columbia MFE ? Has the program dropped in ratings? Or has the program been on a decline in the last couple of years?

Why is this happening though? Has columbia dropped in ratings ? Or has the program been in a down trend in the past couple of years?

Regardless, please, anyone who’s reading this, let Columbia MFE give me an offer today!

Same hope here, but it's late in the day now, may not be an update today...

I think a lot of the similar caliber programs like UChicago, NYU and CMU offering scholarships in addition to the crazy COL in NYC nowadays is probably a big factor.

But studying in an IVY League school does come with its advantages right?

yeah ofc, I’m probably taking princeton now but even if I didn’t get admitted i would probably take uchicago with scholarship over columbia

 

[justoneofferplease]

Any potential updates today? Can’t wait until next week no more…
