Chicago MSFM Chicago MSFM Application Discussion

[Jill]

Last year there were a large number of students from China and Singapore in the Chicago program. I guess there might be a similar situation this year.

I emailed and they said more decisions will be made in the next couple weeks. I haven't received anything either....

The application for the singapore prog is still open - result only out on 15 july. I got accepted into the chicago prog. It seems to me that there are many negative reviews abt the Chicago MSFM program. Any views? I'm still deciding whether to accept the offer.

man im really disappointed with the review of Chicago MSFM program. I mean it's supposed to be one of the best but according to recent graduates and to the events happening in the department it seems it's on the decline. Now that I removed it from my top options, my options are getting limited. I also believe they are aware of this problem and they are giving more acceptances this year because they know the registered/admitted rate will probably be very low!
Andy, is there a way to know through the tracker who will and who won't accept the offer!?
Thanks

anyone accepting the offer?

Everywhere you have those 3-4 miserable students. You never know. I think you should email a bunch of current students and recent graduates.

This feature has been implemented in the Tracker. If someone decides to go to a certain program, he will be able to indicate it as "Final Destination"

Anyone have this same problem?

I tried to get into my Uchicago MSMF account today (something I've done before) and I discovered my account is no longer there. I never received any rejection/acceptance/notice, but definitely have submission confirmation.

did you try to recover your password?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Chicago MSFM has a discussion board. Has anyone used it before?

[VaibhavChauhan]

I faced exactly same issue today.
Have received no mail so far.

When try to recover username, it says no account for that mail id. I have received mails in past on same mailid so id was 100% correct.
Have mailed Chicago today. Will update here any progress.

Anyone else facing this issue?

 

[believeinmiracles]
