Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[hdhawan]

Ok so we’re beyond that point as well. Does anyone know iif they do/how many rounds of acceptance there are?

I believe I was one of the first people to even get the current status header change back in Feb. Haven't heard anything since and I would not go to the MFE program even if I got in. Cannot possibly understand how they have no communication within these forums especially with this delay. There is also nothing offered in the summer in terms of technical interview, coding, and career dev prep from what I am seeing online. On the other hand, the MAFN program seems way more responsive, I am able to contact students/alumni from the program at a higher rate of success, and there is a summer program to prime us for coursework and interviews.

Can the people who are already enrolled in the Columbia MFE program confirm that there is no summer boot camp/interview prep to help the students?

Very hard to find anything online about it.

For MFE, there is a Quantitative and Programming Bootcamp starting in late July-August, as well as a Professional Development course (for resume, cover letter, linkedin, etc..) starting around that same time.

Would hope to attend MFE but seems like there’s no reply…


Does anyone know if application fees are refundable it’s past their delayed deadline of April and mid May.

[mariosniper]

Well at least we heard back now

 

[strattb]

I didn’t hear back. Does all of you who were waitlisted had the current status header?

 

[Millionaire seeking more]

waitlisted lmao, more waiting

 

[strattb]

waitlisted lmao, more waiting

Likely this a strategy they are using to gain more time to review applications

 

[Abhijit.__]

Did you receive an email about the waitlist??

 

[Millionaire seeking more]

Did you receive an email about the waitlist??

email was about a status update, then there's a new link in your portal that takes you to the waitlisted letter

yeah ofc, if they were ready they would send decisions. The most valuable info for them here is probably who confirms the waitlist offer, as I imagine most people have moved on to other programs. Personally for me, there's not many schools in the NJ/NY area and I'm unwilling to move so I was willing to wait

 

[Alex Ng]

Welp, heard nothing. Probably rejected. rip.

 

[kwatz]

Everyone who was waitlisted, did y'all already have a Current Status header? I haven't had any update and don't have a Current Status header either. So does that mean a straight rejection?
