Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[roni]

Interesting, can anyone confirm this? Also, if thats true, has anyone from NY area already been admitted w/o an interview??

According to the Tracker, only those who had the interview received admission.

Did the interview this morning and status changed to "Accepted" in the afternoon
A little info from the interviewer:
~900 applications this year, still targeting a class size of 60 students

I guess this year it's going to be harder to get in

That seems to be the case THIS YEAR so far but according to data from the Tracker, majority of last year admits did not have interviews.

900!?

I wonder if the increase in applicants was driven by higher numbers from India/China...

Andy,

You are right, I was talking about this year only.

@wow
India and China are the major sources of applicants for most MFE programs so the popular programs like Columbia's benefit the most.

I am still deciding. Everyday I go back and forth between the two. Trying to read up as much as I can about the programs and see what will suit me best considering my background and career goals. But today, I'm leaning towards Columbia. Ask again tomorrow and it may not be so.
