I believe I was one of the first people to even get the current status header change back in Feb. Haven't heard anything since and I would not go to the MFE program even if I got in. Cannot possibly understand how they have no communication within these forums especially with this delay. There is also nothing offered in the summer in terms of technical interview, coding, and career dev prep from what I am seeing online. On the other hand, the MAFN program seems way more responsive, I am able to contact students/alumni from the program at a higher rate of success, and there is a summer program to prime us for coursework and interviews.

Does anyone know what time last year rejections were sent out?

 

[inspector_javert]

They sent a bunch on April 29th. Not sure if its the last ones

 

[hdhawan]

Ok so we’re beyond that point as well. Does anyone know iif they do/how many rounds of acceptance there are?

Can the people who are already enrolled in the Columbia MFE program confirm that there is no summer boot camp/interview prep to help the students?

Very hard to find anything online about it.

Very hard to find anything online about it.

they are not even picking up the phone

 

[inspector_javert]

For MFE, there is a Quantitative and Programming Bootcamp starting in late July-August, as well as a Professional Development course (for resume, cover letter, linkedin, etc..) starting around that same time.

Would hope to attend MFE but seems like there’s no reply…


Does anyone know if application fees are refundable it’s past their delayed deadline of April and mid May.

Likely this a strategy they are using to gain more time to review applications
