Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Dpouss]

I also got the same message btw. Seems like it’s not happening because end of July is way too late now…

 

[texano]

Same message. Did you guys confirm your place on the waitlist?

 

[bootstrap]

I haven't heard back from them since I submitted my application half a year ago. No waitlist, no offer, no rejection, no nothing. Lol

30th came and went, no updates

 

[iamsorry]

One of my friends called. They said that there's still no movement on the waitlist. They are still waiting for spots to be open. I don't think there's any point waiting now

I know everyone is joining a program at this point but I'm curious to know what happened to those with the Pending status as of August?
Did their status change to something else or we are still hanging as people are applying for Fall 2025?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

There is a new review for the program. Click on the Reviews tab on top next to Discussion.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Anyone else is applying to the program for Fall 2025? Only less than a handful so far this year.

I was waitlisted in May, and after a long wait time, I got a mail in early august saying there are no places left..

Sorry to hear that. I would be very angry to be in your situation.

Thanks Andy
I went through a lot of mixed emotions
It was pretty bad
An institution of this stature, should have handled it in a much better way

If it makes you feel better, you are not the only one put through this process. Hopefully some holidays cheers will bring your mood up.
Where did you end up after the last admission cycle?

Hi all, Just wanted to check what it is says for y'all after submitting the application under "Current Status" section. Mine says

Current Status​

Your application has been moved to review with the Faculty Committee. The Office of Graduate Admissions cannot give you an estimate on when you will receive your admission decision, but we want you to know that your application will receive careful consideration by the Faculty Committee. Decisions will be made on an ongoing basis and you will be notified via email when a decision has been made.
