Hi anyone feel the test was hard?

I found it pretty basic. From the past years threads I got to know that behavioural interview is far more important the quant assessment. A couple of questions here and there in quant assessment shouldn't matter much.

Thanks! I had an interview with Joan

Hi technicallyaname. My son is interviewing with Joan this week. Any advice you could give him?

Agreed. My son got interview invitation and finished math assessment test last week, he said it’s not bad, much easier than the one Princeton has.

Can you add his timelines for programs he applied to on our Tracker?

Does anybody know the interview to admit conversion rate for the program?

Or any estimate of the admit rate? Maybe @Andy Nguyen may have some idea?

 

[eminenceInShadow]

Hey fellow applicants/students/alums! Any idea about the admit rate for the program? Or interview -> admit conversion rate?

 

[Melanieyx]

I heard it's 3:1 ratio.

This article has been updated in June 2024. What are the most selective MFE programs? There is no single metric that will definitely answer this question.

Thank you so much @Andy Nguyen !

MIT seems to have an acceptance rate far worse than Berkeley and CMU - didn't expect that

Last year, both stages were about 25-30%

Has anyone received a call?

Has anyone received a call?

By call, do you mean a literal phone call ? And should we be expecting a phone call? Won't they send a email to notify the decision.

 

[Quantgrad]

As far as I know, they should start making calls on Friday. By the way, last year people got admitted even without receiving it.

So, in your opinion, they won't call earlier than the offical date of friday 8th?

Never say never, but last year they waited for the official date based on the discussions.

 

[WSBquant]

Will all results be out by 8th?

 

[YRachel]

Waiting anxiously

 

[Grumpybear]

Probably sometime from 9am-5pm EST
