Columbia MAFN Columbia MAFN Admission Discussion

[NYY]

Does anyone have any pros/cons about the program? Did a search on quantnet, but doesn’t seem to have anything too recent.

I applied at the end of Dec and just got an offer. Would definitely appreciate some reviews from people familiar with the program!

 

[NYY]

The course structure seems a bit confusing to me. Also don’t really have a clear cut understanding of the total cost of attendance. If anyone could help out, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Hello Everyone!

I received an update from Columbia MAFN stating that I was placed on a short waitlist. I wanted to get a rough idea on how long it takes to give me a result, and what are the chances of getting an admit ?

Thank you so much!

And for people who did not receive any updates, will they still have a chance?

Hey, I was initially placed on the wl and then received an offer only 2-3 days later, so no worries, it is indeed a "short waitlist" . BTW my offer was about a month ago.

And for people who did not receive any updates, will they still have a chance?

I'd say you still have a good chance since I remember they send offers at least till May (read it somewhere on their website I think). Also, the admission is rolling so perhaps they just haven't gone over yours yet.

Good luck to both of you!

Hi, I got an email on 15th March informing me about my waitlist status and asking me to confirm my waitlist position by 23rd March.

yeah, mine was pretty much the same. I confirmed my wl decision immediately and they sent out an offer only 2-3 days later. I have also seen a few other folks who were waitlisted and received offers a few days after they confirmed wl. I guess yours would be similar

 

[NYY]

I was in a very similar situation. I got waitlisted Feb 24 and then got admitted Feb 25. I did send an email to one of the program directors the next day expressing my interest too. I don’t know how much it helped but it definitely couldn’t have hurt.

Is there a WhatsApp for this yet?

That might not be the case this year

I agree with you now，two of my friends were placed on the waitlist in early April. They haven't received any news yet.
