Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Charles CZ]

2 weeks are done, according to last year's pattern we should have gotten 2nd round admits on 27th - 28th Feb

The first batch was on Tuesday

Is there a chance that they will release the second batch today?


However, I saw that last year, someone got the offer at the end of April.

Additionally, it seems that not everyone has the "Current Status" under the "Application Details". What does the status mean?

Someone claims that they have "Current Status" but have not received decisions for a long time.

Anyone got the decision without the "Current Status"?

I just checked, I have the current status now, it’s showing the following

Current Status​

Your application has been moved to review with the Faculty Committee. The Office of Graduate Admissions cannot give you an estimate on when you will receive your admission decision, but we want you to know that your application will receive careful consideration by the Faculty Committee. Decisions will be made on an ongoing basis and you will be notified via email when a decision has been made.

In the meantime, please continue to keep an eye on your application checklist. Any outstanding materials will be indicated with an "X".

Hi. Do you know approximately when that heading showed up?

 

[mariosniper]

I believe it was within the past 3 hours, wasn’t there 3 hours ago

 

[ShreyanshL]

Did anyone hear back today?

 

[nonomysquant]

Did anyone hear back today?

Nope.

 

[wheresmyoffer]

I don’t think so

 

[nisha]

I believe it was within the past 3 hours, wasn’t there 3 hours ago

I have the same heading from more than a week

 

[WSBquant]

Did anyone hear back today?

nope too… I recalled they have a page with the status on offers sent, it’s not out so maybe it’s still in early stage?

 

[smithquant]

Has anyone received the Current Status and been denied?

 

[threesixtyquickscope]

Just checked my portal this morning, and I am now seeing the "Current Status" header.. Hopefully they release the 2nd batch of decisions soon

Is there a direct link with having the status change and being admitted?

 

[Market_Wizard]

Is there a direct link with having the status change and being admitted?

I'm pretty sure it is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being admitted.

 

[mariosniper]

Has admission commented on when the decision will come out? It seems like a lot of people are starting to get status change

 

[Dabbiddd]

Is there a direct link with having the status change and being admitted?

I don't think there is a direct correlation. Cornell MFE showed similar situation. On the portal, some had application status changing to complete, while others remained in progress. It turned out people got offer/rej regardless of the review condition. Not sure it could apply to Columbia. Different programs had different systems. maybe it was just a UI design issue, which has nothing to do with the admission result.

 

[WSBquant]

Has anyone received an offer / update yet?

 

[WSBquant]

will all results be released by end March? Based on the timeline on their webpage

Anyone heard anything? My status changed today.

Nothing from me. I don't even have the status change
