Thanks. Do you have any idea about Chicago Singapore Campus.

 

[diegosanaz]

I have nooo idea. Maybe if you don't have any rush in joining a program, you should try again next year.

My application status still shows submitted ...Does it ever change before rejection...

 

[leoggg]

Is there anyone still awaiting the decision?

 

[Swarna]

I just got my admission decision as waitlisted .... I guess the chances now are really really low at this point ....... I wonder why they still waitlisted me ..... I had submitted my application quite late on April 6th ..... I wonder what would have happened if I had turned it in earlier ....

Swarna I think they gave most of the admits around May end and June, so I am not sure whether that would have changed that much, but may be submitting very early on(Dec 12 or Jan 13) might have made difference.

I am not sure how many other candidates are on waitlist, but if its just 1-2 then you might get in as its quite possible that couple of candidates will choose not to attend.

I think they will out the decisions for all by this month end as their session starts sometime in August 2nd week if I am not wrong ...

 

[lonely]

ok, it has first orientation on 26th aug and classes start from 3rd sep. so there is still time

I wonder how they process applications...I submitted on March 1, and I got a decision in early May. Some people had submitted months ago (even last year) and are just getting their decisions now.

 

[Shadowfox]

what is the typical deadline that they give to accept admission offer.

 

[Shadowfox]

I think their process is really weird. If they give a long deadline of acceptance then decision at this stage could be an outcome of uncertainty about some of the student they have extended their offer to

 

[mhy]

what is the typical deadline that they give to accept admission offer.

I was admitted on May 9 and my deadline was May 28.

I got two weeks to response.

 

[Shadowfox]

mist i totally agree with you ...but it is too scattered ...I think right now the problem they are facing is that the people they might have admitted now, may have settled for other option and then trying to figure out whether to accept this opportunity or not ...This process may be taking some time and hence the waitlist for Suparna ...Coz Last monday they have rejected a lot of people.

Waitlisted. Actually, completely forgot about Columbia MAFN as if I didn't apply for the school since I submitted it in January and got a letter finally in June. Thinking about this longgggggggg amount of time to finally release a decision, they sure make applicants uncomfortable regarding the process along with how they treat applicants. Anyways will be attending UChicago so I will be withdrawing. Good luck to everybody on the waitlist.

nice guy Dennis.
