Has anyone got a redirect to MSOR if they opted for it in their application?

Congrats on your admit .Was the MSOR a redirect from MFE or you applied to the program?

 

[Shantanu Chopra]

Thanks. I applied to the MSOR program.

37 admissions last year, this year 14 admissions yet

 

[Geekynoob]

There would be more, but there's no correlation between last year's and this year's numbers. Why are we pointing that out so many times?

37 admissions last year, this year 14 admissions yet

And how many applied on the tracker last year versus this year?

 

[aaroncklll]

I just assume that the number of admissions posted on quantnet won't change a lot. Give myself some sort of placebo

 

[aaroncklll]

And how many applied on the tracker last year versus this year?

I only pay attention to the slots left for us. At least, more than 10 admissions available I guess if all applicants have actively updated their profile.

How can you imply how many slot are "left for us"?. You must have a stats background to apply to these programs. How can you say something like this?

In 2017, 76 people updated their tracker (Assuming: a) not fake posts, b) not troll posts, c) no duplicate updates, etc, etc).

Out of those 76, there were 37 admitted... 49%.... very representative of Columbia's admission rate... right? According to the resources page 1,326 people applied to that MFE with 119 getting an admit offer. Do you actually think that a biased sample size of 76 is an accurate representation that can be used as a reliable predictor on this year's admission yield on an anonymous internet forum?

Now, I wholeheartedly believe that the vast majority of the tracker updates are legitimate. I find little reason to believe that there's a good amount of people that will screw with that, there's no personal gain but mere puny bizarre satisfaction for a lunatic to fake on purpose. I do believe that there is a good possibility that some of the people that are pending to update the tracker will get admitted. Lets just not focus too much on unnecessary things. I'm sure you have a chance, just chill... give it time.

 

[Geekynoob]

LOL. Guys chill.

Remember 50% of MFE students still join MO in a bank. My London based ex-manager (trader) is bachelor in Geology (that's it), earns half million pounds at an age of 37-38. I have lots of similar junior employee examples too.

These results are not life changing events. Trust yourself, keep working hard. Good luck.

 

[DiamondLemon]

One more round of ADs. But still received nothing. Feel so sad.

 

[somya harjai]

Yeah. He really deserves it. Such an excellent experienced. Good luck to him in the future.

 

[Matt A]

Congrats @Geekynoob !!

 

[Susan Chen]

@Geekynoob Congrats! It was worth the wait! Best of luck!

 

[ZTS]

Has Columbia started sending rejections? @ZTS has updated tracker with a rejection.

I haven’t been rejected from Columbia, I just declined an interview with them recently. Assuming it’ll be a no

 

[alphawhiskey]

Has anyone heard of any new admits this Monday?
Tracker doesn't seem to show any. Maybe should check by end of day.
