Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Juny]

Just got an email saying no one on the waitlist can be admitted now because they enrolled too many people in every program. The email also mentions there might be an update on June 1st. I am wondering if anyone knows why there will be an update? It seems like that too many people have paid a deposit, so why would they know who is not going on June 1st..

Can you just copy and paste the email you have received? I want to check what Columbia said.

Thank you for your interest in the MS in Financial Engineering. We regret to inform you that the Admissions Committee has been unable to admit any applicants from any MS program waitlists. We had a record number of applications, and an oversubscribed class.

While this is not ideal, we commit to giving you an update by June 1, 2018, and hope to provide you with better news. We understand that this timeline may not work for you. If you no longer wish to remain on this waitlist, please reply to this e-mail.

Thank you for your attention and we wish you the best in your future plans.

That week I was in the office for an average 15 hrs a day. That's banking unfortunately. Couldn't find time.

You couldve asked them for more time btw. I asked for an extra 24 hours. Its a little unreasonable to expect people to do an intrview with 24 hours notice. Theyre quite understanding. its too late now i guess.

and i guess we can re-record our response as many times we want and there is no penalty for the same. is my understanding correct?
