Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Market_Wizard]

Actually I didn't even notice it. It probably changed just a few minutes earlier than the decision came out, but I'm not sure. Certainly it was there 6+ hours ago.

Did your current status disappear?

 

[Market_Wizard]

Anyway, for anyone interested, Columbia hopes to have decisions out by mid-April

Not sure if that's even good news for me since I don't have current status

Don’t worry, same boat haha

We’ll get our love letters soon enough

 

[LeoMessi]

For those who got admitted, what was the deadline for deposit?

 

[n_applicant]

Two weeks from the day you received your letter

 

[LeoMessi]

Mine's a week. Isn't that too short a timeline? Is anyone in the same situation as mine?

Mine is a week as well

 

[Market_Wizard]

Mine is two weeks from the day I received the letter

 

[Alex Ng]

For those of you who received your offer in the past week, was the deadline in one week for all of you? I'm thinking they might have shortened the deposit timeline to speed up the admissions process.

 

[olateju]

Mine was two weeks as well

 

[escheffer]

Mine was too weeks as well, but I’m almost decided to go to UChicago MSFM.

This is an unrelated question...but just curiously asking anybody who might know. Is Emanuel Derman still actively involved in the Columbia MFE program?

Did anyone get an acceptance without the status change as ‘under faculty review’?

I would like to know this too, because I have no status change even now. If it means that they have not gotten around to reviewing my application yet, that is kinda weird.

My status has never changed either, since the day I submitted my application.

I'd hate to point out the obvious, but I think our applications didn't even make it past first screening. In other words, the admission guys didn't feel it's necessary to forward our applications for faculty review.

No current status either. This is sad

That does seem most likely at this point yes, but if that is indeed the case why not just send out the descisions? If they have rejected me at a very early stage, not communicating it immediately seems fruitless. I'd rather know something than nothing.

They want to see the response for students who are a better fit. If the yield is low, they send another batch for review.
