Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[vilovestar]

I did not receive anything from them until now. Is that a good sign?

Why don't you email or call them. I bet you can get the result very quickly.

I've gotten a response from Columbia - nope, there was no mistake, I was really not admitted after the interview.

Does anyone know what Columbia could possibly have been looking for in the interview besides gauging language proficiency and level of interest in the program? It must have been a really huge bungle if I was interviewed and subsequently rejected outright instead of being redirected to MSOR...

I think they had already made their decisions before sending out the interview invitation. The interview itself is just a sample collecting process.

Did you make a phone call or send an email? Nobody answered my phone call, neither my emails.

Anyone still did not get anything like me ?

 

[tarantino]

does anyone know that by when we have to confirm our admission if we have got an admit? i think cmu round 2 result is still one month away so can we get that much time to confirm with columbia? i have been accepted but i dont want to confirm my seat without looking at my cmu result. im sure applicants in past years also faced this. any guidance much appreciated.

 

[holbond]

Did anyone who was redirected via email to MSOR check application status online? I wonder what does it say in this case? Is it going to be pending until adcom decides about this new MSOR application or something else?

it says pending in my case ..

 

[ONE]

I still did not hear anything from them.

so does that mean if you also get accepted by cmu, you will choose cmu and turn columbia mfe down? just curious..

Saw on tracker that remylebeau had revised his "Result" for Columbia MFE to "Admit"...
guess adcom must had did a U-turn on him! amazing!

You're right! Indeed they did. It's a very very strange turn of affairs.

I emailed Columbia on 29 Feb to check if there was any error in the decision regarding my admission to the program. Got a response on 1 Mar saying there was no mistake. But this morning I got a completely unexpected response from Adina saying I'll be admitted!

Very very happy. I shan't look a gift horse in the mouth!

remylebeau has some serious explaining to do
Ok, he did ninja me.
It raises hope to denizens everywhere. My theory is that they check QuantNet and see how his heart was broken, his hope dashed and did a double take.
