Dang I interviewed but didn’t get this email

Interesting, I also interviewed and I've gotten a few of these emails detailing potential career paths, financing the degree, etc. and I assumed they were mostly emails to keep your interest in the program and advertise successful student's career paths. I thought they were all standard to all applications but I guess not?

99% sure it’s just a newsletter. Receiving these emails only depends on whether you are subscribed to it or not.

I am curious to see the correlation too. Is it a soft rollout or just newsletter. For context, I haven’t unsubscribed to their stuff so I should be getting them if it’s just a newsletter.

i also had an interview and didnt get that newsletter, would be a weird way to admit/reject people but who knows

fishoutofwater · 2/27/25

Did people who interviewed receive the emails re student profiles and career paths too? I am wondering if it was just the financing one that was selectively sent for whatever reason.

hmm could all be random

Jdude · 2/27/25

The only thing thats throwing me off tho is that someone said they got it without an interview, and i remember when i watched the admissions video with Dimitri Bianco, Emily specifically mentions that everyone must conduct an interview so not sure

I have been receiving such emails, but didn't have an interview (it's too late anyways).

With a scholarship. Nicely done!

excitedquant · 2/27/25

what is the maximum scholarship this year? I received 15k.

Jdude · 2/27/25

I also got 15k but I think historically there have been cases of 30k scholarship, not sure if it gets higher than that tho

Andy Nguyen · 2/27/25

Yes, we've seen $15K offered so far.
Here is a list of the range of scholarship offered by all programs recorded on QuantNet Tracker.
