Cornell FE Cornell MFE Admission Discussion

[Haoran]

Have heard nothing from Cornell so far. Does it mean that I have no chance?

Keep the hope, Kky. I think they are still reviewing the applications.

that's for the third semester tho. First you'll have to survive two semesters of ithaca weather D:

Does anyone here get admitted to both Cornell and Columbia MFE??

 

[rvilsan]

Hi guys, I just received my cornell result and they told me that I am on the waitlist...do you know if the waitlist really "moves" or I should forget about getting into the program. Thanks!

 

[markhobbus]

rvilsan, maybe you will get my spot!

 

[rvilsan]

I hope so! haha

 

[kyjswh]

I have not received any replies yet...Maybe rejected.

 

[red_devil]

in the same boat

How many students from FE attended the info session.

 

[fallenmonk]

I missed that info session. However, I was told there would be another one so there's still hope!

 

[omnisurmount]

I got an offer on Mar. 1st, so the process probably haven't ended yet...but they placed me in AOR instead of FE concentration.

 

[Haoran]

Any one new who has decided to accept Cornell?

 

[red_devil]

the wait is draining out all the patience , any new interviews , admits ?

 

[fallenmonk]

They had an info session online today for people who were admitted. Some of things talked about was the class sizes and deadline to accept which is in April. I'm guessing there won't be much movement on the wait-list until people start rejecting their offers sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.

 

[red_devil]

interesting ! looks like it is safe to assume that there would be very few further admits... any idea on how people have joined FE already?

 

[fallenmonk]

If I remember correctly, they said something like the class size was 75-100 new M. Eng students a year with half of them being FE. There wasn't any indication as to how many of the admitted people accepted but there were around 35 people in the chatroom. (Though that could just be a product of it being at 10AM EST time)

 

[red_devil]

are the admissions over ? i have not yet received any communication regarding my application status
Do they send a mail or can i check the status on the login page ?

the wait is a bummer

Hi folks,

I have been admitted to the program at Cornell in Feb. but I was too excited to read the admission letter through. I just found out that I need to complete two prerequisite courses, 2nd level probability and C++ programming, before enrollment. However, I have already graduated and don't know where to take the courses. Can anyone help and sugget some possible ways? Thanks!

 

[fallenmonk]

You should check out your local colleges and take it in the summer. A lot of people asked about pre-reqs during the info sessions and basically they said you should take it at a accredited college if possible. In certain cases you can also try for an online course if you email them ahead of time and they approve.

Thank you for the response. Do you know any of the online courses I could chose? The thing is that I have already graduated and come back to China, so instead of going back to the States and attend summer school I think taking online course is much preferable.
