it seems that almost everyone who got admission would accept it

the chance of getting in is becoming smaller

the competition is very intense this year
 
competition is extremely intense this year but they do not increase the size of the program, and Waterloo only accept 15 people this year so people even have fewer choice and they will tend to accept the offer since they have no other choice

yes
Based on the information from QUANTNET, I guess that more than half of the spots have been filled up.
There is a big chance that I am in the waiting list, or I've already in the rejection list.
anyhow, the waiting will end soon.

let's cross fingers
 
from what i heard from ppl who got admitted, all 30 spots have been sent out, they maybe waiting for people to reject and then will call some more, the deadline is 29 Mar so next Monday will be another round IF someone rejects

That's so disappointing. I hope NOT.

Thanks for the information~
that's what I guessed
I am in the waiting list now

I've noticed that they sent out some admissions on Mar 30th last year
hope there are some people who will reject the admissions

I just count the number of people who got admitted THIS YEAR is 9, number of will join is 5. Although there are some spots which have been filled up so far, but I think we still get a chance. Good luck ppl.

not every one who got admission would come to this forum.
and not every one in this forum would update the tracker.
(like GBerger was accpeted, he didn't update the tracker
actually he will join. you can find his posting in https://www.quantnet.com/forum/threads/uoft-mmf-students.3684/)

let's assume half of ppl accepted would come to this forum and update the trakcer (50% is already high)
my conclusion is that at least more than 50% of spots have been filled up

i still trust the insider's information that all 30 spots have been sent out

staying positive is fine
just sometimes we have to face the reality
 
Oh well, how can they attract talented candidates and grow the program if they have a rigid 30 spots every year like this? I like the idea of Baruch MFE program where they have flexibility in quota and will take more if there are strong applicants . If they keep turning away candidates and make the program so small, there will be no room to grow and in the future talented people will be shy away from the program

I think that keeping a small class size is one way of maintaining the education quality

also MMF cares about the placement rate
their internship placement is 100% until now
keeping most qualified students only would help them to keep this record

I think no matter the number of applicants are, they will just recruit 30 students

wonder why this year there are so many applicants, perhaps the market is not doing so well and many ppl decided to continue with school or perhaps there are just more international students who know about the program this year?

no idea..
actually the unemployment rate falls to 7.4%
Canada regained jobs after 2008 recession

I guess more and more smart people want to get challenging jobs in high roll...

all of them are sent out?? But then what about those who haven't done interview but scheduled??

From what I see from Tracker and other threads, I assume there are about 10 people who are willing to accept it.

Oh well... let's pray
 
..and what about those who have done the assessment?

MMF still can reject them if all the seats are taken
interview doesn't guarantee anything, neither does the assessment
 
ok here is a bit info, in 2009 they sent out 50 offers in the first round in March and then after that around 20 people accepted and they sent another round of ad in april. This was from a senior in the mmf. This time probably they have already sent 50 offers and not only 30. But i think many people will decline the offers since they may have been admitted to other programs, in US for example, so we can still hope for some good news. Waiting is really very painful, I hope they speed up the process, maybe give the deadline for people to reply just 1 week instead of 2, and many people really dread till the deadline to make up their mind, or worst, just let the deadline passed. I think these people when they apply they should have a priority list instead waiting to decide till last minute, it is really painful for people in the wait list to wait till end of April

Thank you so much.
Finally, relief in mind.
About 50~70 offers are a lot.
I am not 100% sure but I remember that the interview said they interview about 120 people. So that is about 50% chance for someone who had the interview.
