NYU Tandon MFE NYU Tandon MFE admissions thread

[timonthy abew]

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

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?

Hi all,

I am an applicant for the NYU MFE program. I submitted my application on Nov 29, 2020, but still waiting for the final decision. Does anyone have a similar situation? I contacted Tandon admission but the officer told me that they have no idea when the decision will be made. So I was wondering if my application was missing or the application was placed into the round 2 batches?

Thanks!

 

[Goodluck to me]

Same here. I submitted on the last day and still didn;t get anything back.

 

[xmdd]

I’m also waiting for this one. I submitted in mid January but my checklist wasn’t complete until early February. So I guess I still need to wait for some time.

 

[raptormath]

Same here, I submitted the application on 1st dec. Still waiting for their decision, I have not been waitlisted for round 2 but as NYU only has around 90 odd seats to fill up, I don't think round 2 is really necessary. Mostly it is a reject.

 

[khoatran]

I got my acceptance almost a month ago. But they said there were more coming so dont lose hope guys they did say that it was competitive this year due to the deferrals

 

[sasageyo]

I got waitlisted on 20th January, and they said they would give me a decision within 6 weeks, which ended on 3rd March, so they're still not done with sending decisions yet.
