NYU Tandon MFE NYU Tandon MFE Admissions Discussion

[perspolis]

I'm not sure if it is on a school by school basis. All of my friends from my college got their results in pretty much the same day.

No. I have not received decision yet. There were some technical issues with my submission so I am guessing my application would have been considered later than others. I cannot say for sure how much chance of admission that one has, but let's hope for the best(y)

I was waitlisted on 8th feb i aplied in late oct

 

[Chilbal]

Seems like there were a lot of ppl who got waitlist so im not sure if the waitlist holds any value

 

[Wanchen Zhang]

Still waiting...Maybe there are too many applicants in round 1, our applications haven't been reviewed, might be deferred to round 2...

 

[QuantQuestion]

I applied in early December and got in at the end of January. Final round of applications closes this saturday so maybe they are waiting to see what their final candidate pool looks like before admitting other candidates

 

[P. Carr]

We have such a large number of round 1 applications that the requirement to electronically scan applications has slowed our ability to process them. So please do not interpret the lack of any formal response in a negative light.

 

[Chilbal]

Looks like the number of people waitlisted has skyrocketed this year possibly due to a large number of applications.
is there any value being put on a waitlist or is it the same as a reject because according to current scenario its unlikely that those many people will choose not to pay the deposit and there are so many people on the waitlist

Hi Professor Carr, Nice to meet you. It seems that a lot of people received their decisions later than Feb 1st got waitlist eventually. I don't know if the time of application been reviewed will affact the chance of admission. And I personally assumes that these people are unlucky because they would have been admitted if their application are reviewed in the middle of Jan.

I wonder if this will be impolite but would you mind telling me what kind of order those applications are reviewed? I can't appreciate more if you can provides some hints to us as it can help future applicants.

It seems that NYU MSFE has made a great success in getting the smartest students and helping them success. Congratulations for your great achievement as the program director. And I hope I can be lucky enough to join your program.

 

[P. Carr]

Thank you for your questions Chibal and Song Han. The admissions team is working very hard. I don't personally handle admissions so I can't answer detailed questions. I can say that in previous years there have been a large number of offers of admission from the waiting list and in other years few or none. We have two rounds with the 2nd round deadline tomorrow. We give preference to first round, but the admissions team has to wait and see 2nd round before finalizing. You were wise to apply first round.

Just trying to connect with others who have been waitlisted/accepted. Title sums it.

@Peter Carr
Hi Prof Carr,
As the deadline for the second round is past now, Does the adcom wait until they review and roll out results to all applicants in the second round before considering the waitlisted candidates?
or does it give admits/rejects to waitlisted candidates before the second round applicants because the first deadline happens to be a priority deadline?

 

[VPoneday]

I want to know too

@P. Carr
Hi Professor Carr, I'd applied in the first round itself but due to some reasons, there was a delay in the processing of the documents (almost a month). Do you have any idea whether the application will be considered in the first round or not?

If anyone has any clue about the same, could you please let me know. It will be a big help.

Thanks in advance.

@Peter Carr
Hi prof,
I have noticed that even second round applicants received their decisions yesterday.
But people put on waitlist after round 1 did not recieve any decision yet, As the first round is a priority round should people who applied in first round get their decisions first.

can you please provide a rough timeline by when the waitlisted candidates will receive their decisions?

 

[dheerajsh]

I received a mail from NYU Tandon on 7th Feb saying that I have been placed on waitlist. But since then I haven't received any communication from them. Does this mean I am rejected? Anyone else also in the same boat as me?

 

[Chilbal]

i just got a reject today.

 

[dheerajsh]

Well same here. Just got it today.

 

[Chilbal]

Got an admit?

 

[dheerajsh]

No reject only mate
