Interesting fact:
Of the Chicago MSFM 130 incoming students for Fall 2024, 25 of them are members on QuantNet and indicated so on our Tracker. This is only counting people who participated on the Tracker.
I'm curious to see how the numbers for 2025 and beyond will turn out.

Just a head up that Chicago announced their online option starting in Jan 2026.
I've added an Online option in the Tracker, in addition to Full-time, Part-time.

Greetings. I noticed some changes in my portal. This morning in China time, I found that I was automatically assigned to the 2025 REF, MSFM. What does REF mean? I am an R1 applicant and was placed on the waitlist on March 4th. I am still waiting for a decision. Thanks.
