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.

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?
 
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.).
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.
 
One from UCI received it. Btw, I noticed that u have already got NYU MathFin and CMU MSCF. Do u prefer Columbia mfe than those two?
Thanks for the info. I'm still not sure, but personally more inclined to MSCF. As an undergrad from CMU, I have some connections in MSCF, so I know how great the program is (career service/curriculum). Based on what I know, the career service of NYU math fin and Columbia are probably not as great as MSCF, placement stats still great though. On the other hand, as a quant heavy program NYU prepares students better for buy side companies while Columbia has an advantage for its brand name. Overall they are all great programs and will eventually place you to a good position in the industry. When making a choice, it's really what kind of experience you want in the program matters. I will at least wait for Columbia to make a decision.

Yeah. Thanks for sharing. What we can do now is just waiting. I think there will some positions available to us. Good luck to us all!
 
I'm sure there are others like that person. Getting admitted without being interviewed defeats the whole purpose of it. Moreover, it isn't even a technical.
