I applied to MFE on 2nd of March and after browsing through the posts in this community, i mailed adina and here is her reply "
Dear ********,

We are still considering late applications to MSFE, but will not make final decisions until we hear from our first round of admits. So, your application is still under review.
Best,
Adina
Does anyone know the last date for accepting the offers??

 

[Ycohen]

May 15th for most of us.

 

[KPC]

ooh that is a lot of time i got admitted into the MAFN on march 18th and they want me to accept the offer by 11th of april , Sucks.

 

[Eugene]

Wow. May 15th??
I thought it was like April 15th for some reason. I am currently waitlisted and I thought I had to wait only a few more weeks.

For the people who were waitlisted initially and got accepted later, were you guys just waiting and got accepted one day? I mean.. were you guys proactive in anyway to have Columbia to make decisions any sooner? I am wondering if I should send them additional recommendation letters that were written by my manager/coworkers that I didn't send to Columbia.

How did you apply march 2nd? The deadline was december 1st no?

 

[KPC]

i mailed their admissions office and found out that the application deadlines were extended to march 31st so i applied late :D

 

[Ycohen]

Strange. I thought the extended deadline was for their other programs for which the original
deadline was in mid-March. Either way, Good Luck!

 

[KPC]

yeah i hope :D those who got admitted into columbia also receive admits from haas MIT princeton and CMU :P :D

 

[Ycohen]

Haha. Are you saying Columbia is worse? Lol.

 

[KPC]

i mean if i were to rate the MFE programmes that would be my preference :D

 

[Ycohen]

Haha. Fair enough. For what it's worth, Columbia was my first choice. I think
different people have different criteria. I hope to see you in Columbia in July.

 

[KPC]

Princeton CMU(if it were affordable) UCB and MIT to be precise

 

[Andy Nguyen]

if i dont get an admit from CMU and Columbia(MFE) i will be joining MAFN

 

[Ycohen]

All seem like very good programs to me.

 

[kkadakia]

I just recieved an email from Columbia saying that I Have been recommended for admission to Columbia University's MSOR program, and the office of graduate student services will be verifying the required application documents.

Does this mean I have been admitted, because based on this decision I will be rejecting the offer from University of Michigan

 

[Ycohen]

Yes. It means you're in. The rest is just a formailty.

 

[Siddharth Singh]

Guys,

What is the deadline for accepting decision to Columbia, for me its 15th April.

 

[Siddharth Singh]

May 15th for most of us.

Ycohen, could you tell me where you saw the deadline as May 15th
