Princeton MFin Interviews Fall 2020

[davidzh]

So I talked to a current student at Princeton and apparently Ms.Wendell has sent across a communication saying that if any candidate has an offer which has a deadline for the deposit before the April 15th, then they should request for an extension since most of the colleges have agreed on April 15th to be the deposit deadline.

Columbia refused to grant an extension and they basically say that the April 15th resolution only applies to programs with financial support. Columbia’s MFE is not among the list. Also, I am not sure if making the deposit forms a binding agreement with the school.

To add on, this is the list of schools that have the above-mentioned agreement. https://cgsnet.org/ckfinder/userfiles/files/CGSResolution_Nov2019Revision.pdf

However, the agreement only applies if you receive a financial support (e.g. fellowship/scholarship…) from the respective university. Not sure if Columbia offer falls under the category, but still can try and apply for extension.

Has anyone who had received their interview calls in Jan for Princeton heard back for an alumni interview?

I had an interview with Ms. Wendell in the first week of Feb. Haven't heard back for the second round alumni interview. Should I be worried?

I know someone who got in last year without alumni interview so I wouldn’t interpret that as an indication of rejection.

When did you have your first interview with Ms Collins?

 

[Adonymous]

I interviewed with her during the 4th week of january

 

[noether-skolem]

I see. All the best with your interview with an alumnus!

I interviewed on the second to last week of January, and haven't heard anything about a second interview.

 

[Prokofiev]

I had both interviews last week.

Any idea about the acceptance rate after 2 interviews ?

I have no idea about the acceptance rate for people with two interviews.

It seems like nobody gets in without at least the first interview. If I remember correctly, they are doing about 120 first interviews. It appears they accept about 30 students.

 

[M_K]

Any idea when will the final admissions be offered?

 

[Prokofiev]

If I remember correctly, they will finalize the decisions on March 3rd. They should communicate with applicants shortly after that.

For those without second interviews, I know 2 person that got in last year with just 1 interview, so don’t worry

Last year people got in with only one interview but I believe everyone with two got in but I could be wrong

In my class this year, 6 people got 2nd interviews so I seriously doubt everyone will get in

Your program regularly sends students to Princeton ?
