Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Application Discussion

[macchiato]

Congrats on your offer! Do you remember approximately when the current status header occurred?

I noticed the "application has been moved to review" header earlier today after seeing others in this thread talking about it. I'm not sure when it showed up to be completely honest.

Even I haven't gotten the "Under Review" header. Does that mean our applications haven't even been reviewed yet?

Columbia MFE program does not provide any type of scholarship. I haven't seen any on the Tracker.
What other programs did you apply to?

Congrats everyone!!
Does Columbia release results in batches? Since the website says the results are mailed out till march end I think

What other programs did you apply to?

CMU MSCF(no interview yet), NYU MFE(offer), UChi MSFM(offer), Cornell MFE(offer), MIT(interview, no result yet) and other safe programs for me.

Excellent!
Must have very good profile. Would be great if you can share your profile and timelines on the Tracker. It would be very helpful for other applicants. Thank you.

2 weeks from yesterday

2 weeks from yesterday

Does that mean that the second batch of acceptations won’t be before 2 weeks from yesterday ?

last years thread appears to indicate that the first round of admits went out over a two day period (2/24-2/27)

I wonder the same, or if this is a bad sign as if we are not top applicants

I completely understand where everyone is coming from, because I'm in the same situation. Nonetheless, I think it's best that we don't read too much into it. I know that previous track records show that rejection letters come later than the acceptance letters as Andy has pointed out earlier, but they release multiple rounds of decisions throughout February and March. I believe last week was merely the first batch of decisions, so the chance of getting in is still solid.

Yup I wouldn't read too much into it. While I have the status update I haven't received any official offer so it's not necessarily the be-all end-all if you have the update.

It’s two week from the date of the letter. Specifically, it’s February 27th for me.

Hi, just wondering has anyone submitted their application on October and heard back? I submitted my application on Oct 7th, 2023 but so far i haven't seen the "Moved to review" status yet. Could it be that applications are review based on submission date or could it be that my profile isn't ideal enough?
