Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Trilok Kumar Yadav]

only one week to make the deposit and that too $4000, doesn't give people much of chance, UCB and maybe other universities haven't even released the decisions. Its like take it or leave it.

 

[kbelkhayat]

would you take UCB over Columbia?

would you take UCB over Columbia?

Anyday

 

[kbelkhayat]

Anyday

Can you please explain why?

 

[Trilok Kumar Yadav]

would you take UCB over Columbia?

yup, shorter course duration, amazing career service and smaller class strength. Also given the fact that it starts around 7-8 months later than columbia's course and ends only couple of months later give us more time to save money in the current job.

 

[shaq]

Can you please explain why?

Mainly due to:
1. Smaller batch size
2. Better career services
3. No competing courses like MSOR

But hey! That’s just my opinion....

 

[Karld]

For those who're in, if you asked for institutional funding/aid on the online application, did the offers come with it ?

Do we really have chance to be in? It's another day without any information.

I think the pattern of sending out the results this year is similar to 2015’s pattern. I guess we should wait to receive the final decision until end of March or early April

 

[Vikrant Dhall]

Have all the invites been sent out or there still some admission invitations left?

Thank you. You mean that there are still some positions available to us, and the school will send out more ADs in the following days?

 

[zzz]

I am not sure. But with the posting in Quantnet and some other forums, I think there should be some ADs available to us and we should wait for it. But I am not sure about it, it's only my guess.

It's highly likely that some ADs are still available. I heard about 20 Chinese undergraduates got admitted yesterday, just like the way they sent interview invitation (most Chinese received interview invitation at the same time, roughly the end of Feb.).

Yeap, still available and not some positions. I guess a lot places still remain. Also not all admitted applicants accept the offers. We are same as being on waitlist.

Do you know if someone has got the rejection?

Lol. I know this cz I am a Chinese as well. I received the email to complete interview on Feb 22. Really really hope that there are still some positions are available to us.

In a Chinese forum, many Chinese students would like to share their results, either AD, WL or rej, on this forum.
