I just emailed Petra for my last chance and got an autoreply that she's away from the office.

I think I will give up if there's no news today.

I just decided to continue to the Ph.D. program in math at UofT (I am in the M.Sc. program currently).

a PhD in Maths is gold standard for quant position, especially it is from UofT too and I asume you get paid to get that PhD instead of spending money for the mmf at a lower level, I think you make a good decision
 
Hi everyone, I got admitted to the mathematic finance program, hope to see you in August!
 
It seems like offers only started to be sent out last week. Judging from the FB group at least 7 offers have been accepted. Since not all students have joined the FB group it is reasonable to conclude that nearly half the spots have been filled ( or at least 15 offers have been sent out).

Anyway, I know everyone who hasn't been admitted is nervous but I would suggest you start making plans in case UofT does not accept you. This is will ...
1) Keep your mind off the MMF admission for now.
2) If things don't work out you have other options.

Thank u for ur suggestion.
I think everyone has a backup plan.
No one will depend on MMF only.

For me, I just want the answer so that I can move on completely.
I am not nervous at all, even when I couldn't answer some interview questions.

I am gonna enjoy my weekend now. :)

I only applied to MMF. This was stupid of me but things worked out somehow.
 
I only applied for MMF this year but if I am not admitted maybe it will not be bad as I will use this year to practice my GRE and take CFA and aim for a better school in USA such as UCB (my dream!!!), Columbia or MIT. My friend who got similar profile and with a good GRE he got into UCB this year so it was really good for him! At this point in time I have already assumed that I don't get into mmf but I guess the main reason was because I was nervous during the interview and did not prepare well, I will take this as an experience for my next year battle for schools in US then.

Same here,
I applied to MMF only this year. I don't get admitted, I don't know what I should do.
1) stay in undergrad one more year and do master and phd in stats afterwards
2) get CFA level 2, C++ certificate, and GRE and apply to US next year
3) stay in two more years in undergrad and do master and phd in pure + applied math.

I am not sure which way is the best for becoming Quant.
