Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Karld]

i'd say yes as some people who received admission will decline, and only ~15 have been admitted on quantnet which is half of what occurred last year

Has anyone got a redirect to MSOR if they opted for it in their application?

Congrats on your admit .Was the MSOR a redirect from MFE or you applied to the program?

 

[Shantanu Chopra]

Thanks. I applied to the MSOR program.

37 admissions last year, this year 14 admissions yet

 

[Geekynoob]

There would be more, but there's no correlation between last year's and this year's numbers. Why are we pointing that out so many times?

 

[Jose Cespedes]

37 admissions last year, this year 14 admissions yet

And how many applied on the tracker last year versus this year?

 

[aaroncklll]

I just assume that the number of admissions posted on quantnet won't change a lot. Give myself some sort of placebo

 

[aaroncklll]

And how many applied on the tracker last year versus this year?

I only pay attention to the slots left for us. At least, more than 10 admissions available I guess if all applicants have actively updated their profile.

How can you imply how many slot are "left for us"?. You must have a stats background to apply to these programs. How can you say something like this?

In 2017, 76 people updated their tracker (Assuming: a) not fake posts, b) not troll posts, c) no duplicate updates, etc, etc).

Out of those 76, there were 37 admitted... 49%.... very representative of Columbia's admission rate... right? According to the resources page 1,326 people applied to that MFE with 119 getting an admit offer. Do you actually think that a biased sample size of 76 is an accurate representation that can be used as a reliable predictor on this year's admission yield on an anonymous internet forum?

Now, I wholeheartedly believe that the vast majority of the tracker updates are legitimate. I find little reason to believe that there's a good amount of people that will screw with that, there's no personal gain but mere puny bizarre satisfaction for a lunatic to fake on purpose. I do believe that there is a good possibility that some of the people that are pending to update the tracker will get admitted. Lets just not focus too much on unnecessary things. I'm sure you have a chance, just chill... give it time.

 

[Geekynoob]

LOL. Guys chill.

Remember 50% of MFE students still join MO in a bank. My London based ex-manager (trader) is bachelor in Geology (that's it), earns half million pounds at an age of 37-38. I have lots of similar junior employee examples too.

These results are not life changing events. Trust yourself, keep working hard. Good luck.

 

[DiamondLemon]

One more round of ADs. But still received nothing. Feel so sad.

 

[somya harjai]

Same here man! I feel dejected. Congratulations @Geekynoob, you deserved it.

 

[tradertanny]

@Geekynoob congrats
You deserve it man

 

[DiamondLemon]

Same here man! I feel dejected. Congratulations @Geekynoob, you deserved it.

Yeah. He really deserves it. Such an excellent experienced. Good luck to him in the future.

 

[Matt A]

Congrats @Geekynoob !!

 

[Susan Chen]

@Geekynoob Congrats! It was worth the wait! Best of luck!

 

[ZTS]

Has Columbia started sending rejections? @ZTS has updated tracker with a rejection.

I haven’t been rejected from Columbia, I just declined an interview with them recently. Assuming it’ll be a no

 

[alphawhiskey]

Has anyone heard of any new admits this Monday?
Tracker doesn't seem to show any. Maybe should check by end of day.
