Princeton MFin Princeton MFin Admission Discussion

[Swayum]

downandin - do you live in the US/hold the right to live there or are you an international applicant (from somewhere like Europe or Asia)?

Andy - looks like, in previous years, decisions have come out by the 2nd week of February for most people (going back to 2005). Any chance you can check the Tracker to see the exact date people updated their profile to say they received an interview last year?

 

[fredric]

It might be hard to schedule 100 interviews all at once, and I am guessing that there might be more to be sent out. Take it easy and enjoy the last few days before the grad study

 

[Wowbagger]

Any hope for us, Andy? Your frank opinion please.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

I'll let you all know the answers when Princeton gets back to me.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

UPDATE: Princeton just told me that like previous years, they will contact applicants throughout Jan and decisions coming out in Feb.
So if you haven't received an interview, just keep hope alive, check your email and don't contact them to request an interview.

Best of luck to everyone.

My info is in the tracker already. I received my invite on January 4th, by e-mail. Princeton mentioned they will be interviewing ~130 candidates or so, if that helps. I'm straight out of undergrad, so don't lose hope! Good luck!

Congrats! Given that it's Princeton, I would definitely go with business formal. Are you interviewing in-person or on Skype? Either way, I would still go with business formal.

Can you put your application(s) timeline in the Tracker?
Looks like you get an onsite interview. When in doubt, goes with business formal.

Princeton told me that all decision will be out by March 1 with a final deadline to accept is April 15.

Daniel Duffy - Why did you disagree? Do you have any information to the contrary?

 

[NSelectrical]

Hey Andy, do you have any information about CMU. Regarding them sending out interview calls and everything?
