There was a student who already got in to CU mfe and he didn’t have a GRE score so I don’t think it’s in regards to that
That guy with 4.0 GPA right? I still think there is some filtering going on. The point is we cannot say for certain that CU has declined applications with "submitted" status. Let's keep the hope alive.

For sure I agree. I don't think CU has declined apps with "submitted" status. But I also don't think they are saving non-GREs for later but rather a more holistic approach. I say this as I have spoken to alumni from both Columbia programs who did not submit GRE scores but were accepted. Then again we never know, I am just hopeful we see a next batch soon.

hey @nonomysquant congratulations on your offer to MAFN! Did you also see the status change from submitted to under review before the offer?
Nope, for the MAFN, I had no update at first. Then I got an email saying that an update as been released. I checked my app and clicked on the update which then gave me a letter saying I got in. Only reason I was expecting something was because Andy had told us some decisions will be coming out soon.

Hey, I had my GRE score sent well before the deadline and it is a decent score of 168Q and I still don't have the "under review" status.

I hope they haven't silently rejected some of us already.

I don't think a GRE score is the difference maker for whether you get in or not, tbh

Yeah....GRE has become kinda a joke nowadays.... I went to a physical info session of one of the MFE programs, and the admission rep kinda subtlely hinted that they suspect there's a lot of cheating going on.

Hi can someone clarify what "under review" is? Maybe with a screenshot would be great. I only have "your application has been moved to review with the Faculty Committee..." under "current status".

Do you recall when that under status showed up?

Does anyone know if "your application has been moved to review with the Faculty Committee" means anything?

I submitted my application on the 8th of Jan but still haven't got that message on my application portal.

Hi, I have gotten the current status today as "currently under review", after how much time after it did any of you guys received your result?
