Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Sarat Chandra Akella]

Why do we need the application number? I wasn't asked an application number anywhere.

Hi, thanks for pointing out. Guess they have edited the form now. I saw it as a compulsory field when I first opened the form. It is no longer there., thankfully.

If you're on the waitlist, do you think that the faster you answer to the form the better are your chances to get in ? or do they wait until 10th april to check the additional documents ?

Definitely update your personal document as soon as possible. I think Columbia is pretty fast in responding.

Has anyone got a redirect to MSOR if they opted for it in their application?

hey, i got MSOR as well. will add to tracker. is there any group for MSOR or IEOR fall 2018?

Hi everyone. This is Abhinav from India. Has anyone from India accepted and paid the deposit fee (4k $)? . I have tried to pay it, but unable to do so (tried Citi bank credit card (mastercard), ICICI debit cards (Visa) ). If anyone here had paid the fee, could you let me know the mode you have used to do so.

Did anyone on the wl receive any update till now?

Any one who's not on the wait list or redirect to OR - got a reject?

Hi, I wanted to know if there is any whatsapp/facebook group of all the students joining the Columbia MFE 2018?
Will be helpful to share resources and have discussions regarding the Visa application etc.

It's really frustrating now. They are taking too long..

 

[Zhenqin Yuan]

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..

It is so funny. If all of their master programs have enough students, why did they send the waitlist? It's pretty strange.

IKR! Well, every program supposes to admit 1.5 or 2 times students that they prepare to admit, but it is still pretty funny when every single one of their program is full lol. I am considering MA stats at columbia now. Wonder how is that program.

It is also very funny to tell us that we can wait until June. If it is full now, is there any better program sending AD during the following 2 months to release some available position of Columbia? So the email is really ridiculous.

I am wondering if it works this way. So some students, who have paid deposits, might hear from another program, and they might write to columbia that they are not going to attend anymore?

If it is working this way I think it is basically a denial letter to most of the people who have been put on wl.
I am also wondering if they are going to give offers if there are opens in other programs like msor.

It is also unusual that not many people get the redirect to MSOR this year. Previously, I thought that this WL asking which other program we would like to join was a signal of redirecting. But it was wrong. So I think that we may kiss goodbye to Columbia.

 

[subarashiii]

They sent wl to almost everyone unadmitted. And then tell us that they cannot admit anyone. Funny.

 

[zzz]

They should have known there were no open seats in these programs but still sent wl and let people update materials as required. Just feel ridiculous and wonder why they do so.

@Ashish Gotham Hey can you please keep me posted if you come across a whatsapp/facebook group?
