I'm visiting the Columbia MFE program today with my photographer to tour the program and meeting with the admin people there.
We will spend half the day there and I will let you know if I see anyone actively sending out admits.

I'm sitting and tweeting from Derman's class right now. I talked with their directors and here are the breaking news.
The MSFE has over 1000 applicants this year, their all time record high.
They will admit around 90-100 people this year for a class size of 60.
A handful of admit will be sent out today and that is it for this year.
No MFE applicant will be offered MSOR this year.

90-100 people sounds like a lot if they are only looking for a class size of 60. What if everyone accepts?

In the last two years they accepted 110 and around 60 eventually registered.

 

[zimingsk]

anyone got the offer today?

 

[roni]

anyone got the offer today?

According to the Tracker, two got admitted today.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

You never have 100% yield so the number of admit depends on historical yield rate. It is the same guessing game by college admission everywhere.
Columbia MFE uses interviews this year to gauge interest and improve yield.

 

[zimingsk]

but that guy received the interview last week...I assume it doesn't count as "today".....lol
