I'm visiting the Columbia MFE program today with my photographer to tour the program and meeting with the admin people there.
We will spend half the day there and I will let you know if I see anyone actively sending out admits.

Well then I guess we would all be waiting eagerly for your response :)
 
I had received the last mail from Columbia around this time... waiting super eagerly
 
I'm on the pending list as well..Waiting eagerly and anxiously. Its tough. I hope we can all get some positive news soon! Andy, I'll be waiting for your message!
 
@jaih and roni...
i am also in the same boat ...still pending...hoping to hear something positive from them on last day or atleast an email extending the March 1 Deadline!
 
I'm sitting and tweeting from Derman's class right now. I talked with their directors and here are the breaking news.
The MSFE has over 1000 applicants this year, their all time record high.
They will admit around 90-100 people this year for a class size of 60.
A handful of admit will be sent out today and that is it for this year.
No MFE applicant will be offered MSOR this year.

God :(
 
90-100 people sounds like a lot if they are only looking for a class size of 60. What if everyone accepts?

In the last two years they accepted 110 and around 60 eventually registered.
 
You never have 100% yield so the number of admit depends on historical yield rate. It is the same guessing game by college admission everywhere.
Columbia MFE uses interviews this year to gauge interest and improve yield.

Wow! It really is breaking news!

Why don't they offer MSOR to MFE applicants any more? Too many MFE didn't accept the offer last year or MSOR can't digest its own applicants and is self-sufficient this year?
