Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[noether-skolem]

There should be a "Thank you for submitting your application ..." email right after you submit the payment, but I don't recall anything else other than the interview invitation and admission result. They didn't even email me when my professors submitted their recommendation letters (had to login to check that the letters are received).

Small thing to point out, though I'm sure you have done so: check your junk/spam folders, amusingly every single email from Columbia I've received thus far ended up being flagged as spam.

I don't think anyone received that mail.

That would be great. All I worried was that my application would be over without people even look at it. I guess the best thing that we can do for now is indeed what @noether-skolem said.

Submitted 12/11 and interviewed 1/24. I didn't receive any other notifications beyond confirmation that my application was submitted and the video interview invite. Hopefully we hear some good news soon.

i did the optional video, but nothing for an interview or decision yet

For those receiving the interview, did you guys do the optional video in the preliminary application? Data points seem to indicate that if you did the optional video, you don't get the interview, and vice versa. If someone can confirm that they did the optional video AND still got the interview, it's pretty much game over for those who didn't receive the interview

 

[KunjanMehta]

I know someone who had submitted the video introduction and also got the interview invite

I think the optional video does not play a big role. I got the offer on Tuesday while there was zero view for the optional video.

Does everyone who has already received the offer all interview around 1.15? I am little bit worried that if they have already sent out all the offers for people who interviewed in that round...

I interviewed on 23 January. I've also added my entry to the tracker for reference.

Hi, I received an admission decision today.

 

[quinnphm]

I wonder when would be the last day that Columbia sends out results.

 

[VVN]

Hi, I received an admission decision today.

Do you mean you received the offer today? I thought the second wave will be out next week lol

interviewed on 1.16，no offer，so sad

 

[davidzh]

I received an offer today (Feb 11) and the only interview I had (Jan 13) was the one described by @marco di bartolo

Do you have the same deposit deadline on 02/25? No other programs will be releasing decisions by that time.

I am also worried about this. It is too early... what can be done ?

 

[VVN]

Has the second wave come out today? It's already one week since the first wave....

 

[quantMSCF]

Seems an alien invasion... Just to lighten up... No idea, I had no news after the video interview

I do. I already knew I'd decline since I got accepted to a Master's in France that I prefer.
I think you may ask for an extension to Columbia, it's better than asking for an early decision to other program.
