@Csp
Hi there, I just noticed that my current status section disappeared as well. May I kindly ask how you found that final decision? Thanks!

 

[Csp]

I noticed the status section had disappeared around 17 pm CET and after the message by @efffff I logged into the portal and got the result

Hello, I saw the same thing on Saturday night!

Got my result just now

I only see acceptances this early. Do they release only acceptances or do people not update with rejections?

 

[chickenguy]

I am sure there is a bias toward acceptances being reported. I don't know the answer though

 

[chickenguy]

I saw last year people were getting rejections in August, and people were pretty annoyed by it, understandably. Maybe they just don't bother notifying of rejections right away. The deadline to take the offer is a bit ridiculous, I only have two weeks to decide

Does anybody know if Columbia MFE has any summer requirements for admitted students, or if the typical student looks for an internship the summer before the first year.

According to an email I got, they have a summer boot camp online, and in-person ones late in August after arrival on campus.

congrats on the acceptances everyone btw were the offers forwarded to just the domestic applicants or the international ones as well?

 

[efffff]

I am an international student and got mine last Thursday. The portal just updated and I got an email the next day.

Hey everyone, who is the current director of the financial engineering program at columbia? is it Mr. Ali Hirsa?

For the people who got their acceptance letters, whose name and sign is at the bottom?
