NYU Tandon MFE NYU Tandon MFE Admissions Discussion

[NYU Tandon MS FE Admissions Team]

Hi NYU Tandon MSFE Admission Team. I got a question about the release of admits in this cycle. My friend applied for this program before the primary deadline, but he seems not to be receiving the results back, unlike others who applied simultaneously. What is that supposed to mean to him, and what time should he expect to hear back the answer from the committee?

Hi -- good question.
We have a number of admissions offers we want to make for the priority application round. We hit that number and are now waiting for the main deadline to pass (that happens today). Your friend's application will be considered with that group. Your friend is likely to be on the boundary between "admit" and "waitlist" -- so that is good news. We are hoping that all final round applications will get scanned and organized and sent to us by the end of February. Our plan is to resolve all this in early March.

Hi -- the answer from our Graduate Admissions department is that "accepting admission" and "paying the deposit" happen at the same time, and that you can wait until the deadline to do this without risk of losing your place in our program or any promised scholarship.
Does this help?

Yes, thank you so much!

Can there be an extension in deposit deadline?

Can there be an extension in deposit deadline?

That's a question for the Department of Graduate Admissions -- they manage processes. The academic department (us) makes decisions. Reach out to them at

Hi, do we have to pay the deposit fee via Convera or Flywire or we can pay it directly using our credit/debit cards?

Hi Mr. Spectre, and congratulations on your admission!
We profs have no idea about this --- NYU won't let us near their money even though we are financial engineering experts!
Please reach out to engineering.gradinfo@nyu.edu

Hi, my friend just got admitted on Feb 17th, and he wonders now when the deadline is for him to accept the offer for the program.
According to the website: "MS Students Admitted between February 15 and March 14 should make the decision before Saturday, April 1, 2023."
Is this the case for him? and MSFE program requires 3000$ deposit for the admitted student to save the spot?

Congratulations to your friend! We professors are not involved with the tuition side of things, but I believe the answer here is "yes". Your friend can email engineering.gradinfo@nyu.edu for a precise answer.

I applied in the priority round and was waitlisted - do you have any data on what the waitlist admit percentage looks like? Other FE programs have started to release their decisions around this time (with enrollment deadline as early March), so can we as waitlisted expect to receive a final update by end of February?

waitlist admit percentages vary wildly year to year. we too are releasing decisions through February, and will add from the waitlist after that as a function of the number of deposits made by admitted students.

Hi, is there a group for admitted students?

 

[hgb]

What are some topics/subjects that students should revise before starting the program? (Especially to aid in the bootcamp)

 

[NYU Tandon MS FE Admissions Team]

Hi, is there a group for admitted students?

We will begin communicating with the 2023 New Student Cohort as a group when the admitted students have made their deposits to hold their places. Until that time NYU policy says that official messages to all of you need to come from Tandon Graduate Admissions.

Hi Team, i wanted to apply for the next round which is due next week. Can i still apply what are chances as i am international student.

The bootcamps are designed to bring all our students to a similar starting place. Our cohort each year is made up of people who have studied math, applied math, computer science, engineering, finance, economics, statistics, or a few other academic disciplines. So everyone is a bit different. To be ready for the bootcamps we advise reviewing your multivariable calculus, your coding skills, your probability theory, the properties of different statistical distributions, and your knowledge of fundamental financial terminology.

Your chances are better if you apply than if you do not

That said, you could communicate with each other right here in this thread.

Hi, can you provide detailed employment statistics for the MFE 2022 graduates? On the website, I can only see are separate lists of employers and positions. I would like to see for what position each employer hired and the location.

The employers of our students prohibit us from distributing this information, sorry.
