MIT MFin MIT MFin Admission Discussion

[jqotob]

I was one of the first people to hear back from MIT round 1. The way it actually works is the director calls a few applicants before decisions are released to personally congratulate them.

Are you saying that only a few admitted applicants get phone calls or that all applicants who are admitted get phone calls?

Could you please check the status on your application page? Is it still "submitted" or changed to "admitted"? Thank you!

Judging by the tracker, I certainly think most people first heard about their acceptance from the online application. Round 1 deadline was December 20, and I received the call in the evening on December 19. Most of the tracker admits came in December 20.

Everyone's decision will be released simultaneously on applyyourself.

Check out the tracker. Two people have received calls today.

I'm wondering this too. Maybe only those who had phone interviews (vs. Skype interviews) are getting calls..

I don't see the logic in that??

 

[aaronhotchner]

I had a Skype interview when I applied and I received a call.

It's my brain waves coping with the reality that I have not received a phone call yet. (Congrats btw)

We would be seeing more updates in the tracker if all the admits where out, so keep your head up and good luck!

Three admits in the Tracker now. Depends on the timezone, people may get call later today so keep an eye out for updates on Tracker.

Now you know you can't get away without adding your timelines on our Tracker, right?
And congrats.

 

[lanmine]

just got the decision online, waitlisted.
anyone has any suggestion on what to do at this stage? any suggestion is sincerely appreciated!
also anyone know how possible it is for a waitlist to turn into an admission later?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Here comes the influx of decisions

 

[Kamesh]

Hey guys, I was waitlisted from the first round and now again I received the same exact letter saying I was waitlisted but with todays date. I am so confused. Did they evaluate me again with their R2 applicants and found that I need to stay on their waitlist ? Lanmine dont worry.. it will be a long wait.. I have no clue on to how many will go from waitlist to admit.. it depends on folks who are really serious about MFE and would go to MFE core schools and leave Mfin for us folks welcome to the waitlist but I am very confused on my situation..

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Your guess is as good as any.
They have a target of 120 people this year so a lot of things come to play. We won't know how many people will join the program (yield rate).
Last year, more people join than MIT expected so I think they will be a bit more cautious this year and put more people on waiting list.

Just take a look at our Tracker, see what other programs those admitted to MIT also applying to. They may decide to go to another program. If they decide to join MIT, you will see Yes in their Will Join column. Right now, that ratio is around 1/3

Hey Andy,

Can you reflect on my position ? I am looking for some closure here ha ha

Closure isn't coming soon for you. They have a new third round of 3/15 and depends on how long they give round 1,2 to respond, you may have to wait until decision for round 3 is out which is not until late March or April.

Congrats to everyone who heard the good news today! Is everyone planning on attending the admitted students day on March 1?
