Columbia University - MA in Mathematics of Finance

Columbia MAFN Columbia MAFN Admission Discussion


  • 2024  Rejected Alex Ng has a tracker for this program.
We most likely will continue sending offers until mid-June.
Would that be enough time for international students to process their visa applications?

And, most programs have a deposit deadline in late March to early April. While the MAFN program is a competitive option for students pursuing quant finance, some will have paid their deposit for other programs well before they receive an offer due to uncertainty of whether they eventually get in.

Those are all valid points. Thank you for bringing them up. This year's admission cycle is already set but while trying to make the decisions sooner, we will have to release some of them later, once we receive all the applications. We will consider your points for next year. Thank you.

did the portal status change as well?
The email says that there is an update which is reflected on the portal. I didn't check the portal before I got the update email, so I don't know if the portal changes with a decision entered. The last time I checked was 1-2 weeks ago, and no changes at that time.

As I know, one person who got waitlisted on 29 March got accepted today.
yeah, I noticed that some people received offers today. The offers come from both the waitlist and straight from the application pool. The offer from the latest waitlist is March 28th from what I saw. The waitlist goes pretty quick, as fast as 1.5 weeks.

  • Maxm has no tracker for this program.
The deadline deposit for this batch is Apr.24
So maybe the next batch will be after this date
I think next batch of offers will be for people who got waitlisted. If I still get no waitlisted, should I take it as a silent rejection.

Why do you say that? The last batch was a mix of students from WL and the application pool.
