Columbia University MS in Financial Economics Admission Discussion

[billyvan]

do you have a good job? or you just speak out of hypocracy

I don't have a job but I say my heart. I didn't apply for this program because of no interest in this kind of finance. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it about pure and traditional finance. All I know is it's extremely selective and candidates are all strong. No idea about anything else but this this thread.

I don't think the career services of M.S Fin Eco is bad. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I applied for the master of financial economics program at Columbia Business School and have not heard anything back yet. I'm wondering if anyone heard anything?

Haven't heard anything since the ddl. Last year someone received interview invite around this time (02/06) and got the decision on 02/20.

Yeah me too. No news from them yet.

Have anyone had update?

I had an interview this weekend. The interviewer mentioned that admits will be rolled out by the first week of april. I believe about 60 ppl interviewed.

Did they mention this is the only wave of interview that will be sent out

 

[fsez]

I'm not sure about this. But probably this is the only wave of interviews.

 

[bbqn]

I did the interview this past weekend.

Hi, I'm wondering if you all received an email notifying that your application is under review?

 

[fsez]

No such mail

 

[fsez]

Hey, I got an admit. This was super quick I must say. Admit within 4 days of the interview!

 

[Patto]

Can anyone provide further information about the career services of this program? Is going to be difficult for an international student to land a good job (without previous experience)?

Hi all,
Does anyone know what the post-application submission timeline is like for this program? I remember reading that there's an interview at some point, but couldn't find anything about when applicants generally find out about it

This is the most relevant thread I've been able to find -- Master of Financial Economics Program at Columbia.

Thanks, guessing interviews happen first or second week of February if they’re going to.

 

[yxxy]

Does anyone have any update?

 

[tips]

nothing on my end, guessing we will hear about interviews sometime this or next week (if they are doing them)

 

[Qui-Gon]

Same for me, nothing yet
