Columbia MFE Columbia MFE (Financial Engineering) 2023

[aristegos]

Why are most people disinterested in joining columbia MFE ? Has the program dropped in ratings? Or has the program been on a decline in the last couple of years?

I think a lot of the similar caliber programs like UChicago, NYU and CMU offering scholarships in addition to the crazy COL in NYC nowadays is probably a big factor.

But studying in an IVY League school does come with its advantages right?

I saw someone saying that they received an offer on weekends... (namely 3/19).
Do they send out offers today?

Where did you see that? Is there a tracker/forum? Personally don't think they shouldn't be sending out offers on weekends...

 

[Enruiz]

Anybody received an offer this week?

Hopefully today… the waiting is too excruciating

 

[justoneofferplease]

Should I just assume a silent rejection if I don't receive the offer today? (sad..

Can I ask if you were waitlisted before getting accepted?

 

[Enruiz]

Did you get waitlisted then accepted or directly accepted?
