Princeton MFin Princeton MFin Admission Discussion

[indianfinanceguy]

Don't want to sound harsh here (even though most of your statements are assumptions/inaccurate). I have had my fair share of luck and made way north of $120k. However, currently I am making much more outside of finance right now and know of many others (fact based) who are struggling with a lot less in finance. Most of the MFE course is either theoretical and/or outdated and companies don't pay for that. A lot of the calculations/modelling is automated and done using standard quantitative libraries (think quantlib) or outsourced to consulting companies. I am only putting my 2 cents here so that people are more informed. I am not here to argue.

But isn't this thread about interview invites where applicants can share and discuss their application statuses with each other?
If you want to share your two cents or whatever, create separate threads and spare us? Or is it because all your posts got ignored? And I'm sure everyone who applies to the program does a fair bit of research on their own.

For everyone that received a second round invitation, was your first round in-person on campus or over Skype?

For me, it was over Skype.

Well said.

Seems like I missed out on the fun. Lol!
For the people who got first round invites and did not get second round invite - have any of you reached out to Wendell about it? Any update whatsoever?

why don't you do it yourself instead of asking others to do it? Are you afraid that it'll affect your chances of admission?

I did not 'ask' anyone to do anything. I am simply using a public platform to get some information. I saw the information that you shared ( without anybody 'asking' you for it ) and did not find it useful enough for my need. I am using a public platform to reach out to people in my "shoes", which I think you are not. So, frankly, I do not see the point of your question / suggestion here. ( other than diverting the discussion towards a really unproductive end and in that case, I have no wish to engage. )
@Michsund Thanks for the update. Do keep us posted if you have any kind of update and I will do the same. Thanks!

getting a little defensive there?

 

[justAnotherPerson]

getting a little defensive there?

A social platform is hardly meant for going on the offensive, if you know what I mean. :D:P.

But yeah, I think we both can agree that going down this rabbit hole is a waste of both yours and my time. So, if you have any real information related to this thread or my question, that you can share, please do. I will do the same. This thread is hardly meant for discussing our feelings or showing off swag. Let us just stick to the facts and information here. Cheers!

Did anyone who received a second-round alumni interview have their initial interview on campus? Trying to fool myself into thinking they may have just followed up with people who they didn't have a chance to meet in person, even though that's likely not the case....

I was told results were going to be realsed on March 5th as well but looking at their timetable now it seems like it has been delayed to March 31st.

Why would you say that

 

[Risky Business]

Why would you say that

I linked the timetable... click on the "Timetable and Process" tab. I believe it used to say March 5th before. Although I may be wrong.

 

[Michsund]

No it says early March but on the top it says early March

 

[Risky Business]

No it says early March but on the top it says early March

You are right. Still, I believe I had seen explicitly "March 5th" before.

I remember it was March 31st on their website in Dec 2018. But Wendell told me March 5th or early March. Good luck to all of us tomorrow.
