I'm waiting too

 

[iamsorry]

Are we even going to get a decision from them. In some of the previous years, they sent out rejections at the end of August!

Just got this:

Thank you for your continued interest in the Columbia Financial Engineering Master of Science Program. We are writing today to let you know that you are one of a select number of students who remain on our waitlist for the Fall 2024 class.

At this time, there has been no movement on our waitlists. We hope to share more positive news with you soon and will provide you with an update by or shortly after July 30th, 2024.

I also got the same message btw. Seems like it’s not happening because end of July is way too late now…

 

[texano]

Same message. Did you guys confirm your place on the waitlist?

 

[bootstrap]

I haven't heard back from them since I submitted my application half a year ago. No waitlist, no offer, no rejection, no nothing. Lol

30th came and went, no updates

 

[iamsorry]

One of my friends called. They said that there's still no movement on the waitlist. They are still waiting for spots to be open. I don't think there's any point waiting now

 

[quantape]

I know everyone is joining a program at this point but I'm curious to know what happened to those with the Pending status as of August?
Did their status change to something else or we are still hanging as people are applying for Fall 2025?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

There is a new review for the program. Click on the Reviews tab on top next to Discussion.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Anyone else is applying to the program for Fall 2025? Only less than a handful so far this year.

Sorry to hear that. I would be very angry to be in your situation.

Thanks Andy
I went through a lot of mixed emotions
It was pretty bad
An institution of this stature, should have handled it in a much better way
