Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[lqyyjy]

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.

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

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.

Can we expect more interview invites in the near future?

Just checked last year's trackers. Not likely since last year 90% of them interviewed in early Feb or before, though I did see 3 trackers saying they interviewed in early March. But if within next week you don't receive an invitation, I don't think you will get one. Some accepted trackers didn't post any interview date, but I'm not sure if that's because they really didn't get one or they just forgot to put it there.

So my 2 cents: chances for those who still haven't got an interview are very slim

 

[noether-skolem]

Well, just over one day until the first wave's deposit deadline. No choice but to pay I guess.

 

[Finengg]

When does Columbia send decisions? I interviewed mid Jan but haven’t heard back from them. Is it a reject or should still wait..? Any data points from last year would be helpful too

 

[noether-skolem]

I got mine on the 11th of Feb, like several others in this thread. Deposit deadline was 2 weeks after the result, which is 25th in my (our) case. Some others seem to have received their decisions after 11th of Feb, so there might be a possibility for you to still hear back from them.

25th of Feb seems to be the first wave of deposit deadline as far as the data available on Quantnet shows, some of us may have decided to go elsewhere and forgo the deposit, thus freeing up some slots for the university to potentially admit more students. (Of course this may or may not be the case, only the admission officers would know)
