Georgia Tech QCF Admission Discussion

[Vittal]

Just now saw a reject without interview

 

[Vittal]

Just noticed an update on the website homepage for QCF about how due to a recent upgrade to the application processing system, there will be a delay of 1-2 weeks in decision notifications

Some one has mailed to Malcom...let him post his reply

Important Update on MS QCF Application Processing** ​

Due to a recent upgrade to our application processing system, there will be a delay of 1-2 weeks in decision notifications. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work through this transition.

Our team is actively processing applications, and we will notify applicants as soon as decisions are available. Thank you for your understanding.

Same reply came from Malcolm...so results are going to get delayed for sure

This is not new. Laura told me about this during my interview that the 'recent upgrade to our application processing system' was actually a bug in their system which prevented them from seeing any GMAT focus edition scores. That's the reason I got my interview invite late and all those who gave GMAT FE scores received interview invites quite late. Laur was pretty confident that the decisions would be coming out this week only. So lets wait.

Gotta rethink that dual degree on computer engineering

I see one new rejection today. So maybe it has started rolling?

 

[nkscb]

Last year, the tracker recorded a total of 24 acceptances. This year, there have already been 20 admissions, with 18 applications currently marked as ‘pending’ on the tracker. Based on current trends, we can reasonably expect approximately 3 to 5 additional acceptances from the pending pool.

No movement on status as on now ...looks like have to wait till month end

I expect much more offers than that. Not many applicants in the standard round have received their results and it is not likely that 80% of the rest will be rejected.

Since the website said 2 weeks, I’m assuming it’ll be by this weekend - was planning on mailing if that deadline is also breached

 

[Vittal]

E mailed to Laura as well as Malcolm..no reply yet ... application status remain same .... hopefully by this week or it will be too long a Wait

Haven't gotten any replies either but, thinking of considering NYU Tandon at this point.
Do any of you have any ideas or thoughts about NYU Tandon MFE vs GT QCF?
I'd personally prefer GT because of the program being 18 months long, more computationally heavy and more cost friendly.
Particularly I'm concerned about how much does the NYC location help in getting jobs?

Particularly I'm concerned about how much does the NYC location help in getting jobs?

NYC is the center of global finance so being in proximity is an advantage. It allows for informal meetings and networking opportunities that turn to job leads.
It also is home to many top programs in the country so the competition is fierce.
There is nothing stopping you from getting a job in NYC if you are qualified and do the hard work.
Some people would prefer other locations like Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte for various location. Find out what you want and then select the program that best prepares you to achieve that goal.
