Columbia MSFE Columbia MSFE (Financial Economics) Admission Discussion

[Quantgrad]

Hi guys, I wanted to create this thread to update everyone on the process. Feel free to add your insights! I applied on the 28th of December, and still no update.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Just to clarify, this is Financial Economics program under Columbia Business School, not the other Columbia MFE program.

 

[macchiato]

Same here. I applied. Haven't heard anything yet.

 

[Quantgrad]

Heard that some interviews have been sent out, not sure if they do that on a rolling base or with waves.

Got the interview invitation on 2/9 and finished today.

Could you please add your applications to the tracker and also give some insights on your profile? I think everybody will benefit from that!

I am panicking a bit as I didn't know there were interviews as part of the admission process (this appears nowhere in the web...). Has anyone else received an invitation?

 

[Alex Ng]

I received the interview invite a little more than a week ago and finished last Friday. They said I was shortlisted, but I'm not sure if they meant the shortlisting process is still ongoing or the process is done. But I do think that all admitted students receive interviews.

Haven't heard back since the interview. They said I would hear back shortly, but in past years, the decisions came out around mid-March

 

[Quantgrad]

A friend of mine just got the offer, still no answer for me

 

[wheresmyoffer]

No answers yet after the interview. Does anyone know if they send offers in waves too, as in the interview?

 

[bikrr]

Received an offer yesterday. I did my interview 2 weeks ago.

 

[wheresmyoffer]

If anyone else heard back on/after Friday 2/23 please let us know. Thanks!
