NYU Tandon MFE Q&A with NYU Tandon MS FE

[anirudhsc]

Hi, I submitted my application on 4th February, and I see Awaiting Decision in my Application status. I didn’t open the application page until today, so I am unclear on what the ‘Checklist’ means. I still see the upload materials, confirm your information, verify address and verify email address headers, does that mean my checklist has not disappeared yet?

 

[Alex Ng]

The checklist is basically a list of materials you submitted. On the left of each item, it should say received or awaiting. If these are there, it means the checklist is still there, and no decision has been entered.

For those of you who noticed changes in the portal before you received a decision, does anyone remember how long it took to receive a decision update after you saw the checklist/"awaiting decision" disappeared?

6pm ET the next day

Hi from the financial engineering profs @ NYU Tandon. We were not getting email alerts that this thread was active and so were not looking here. That seems to be fixed. As to the current topic of the info shown in the portal: we profs have no idea what the changes you see signify. NYU takes data privacy very seriously and we cannot see what any student's portal looks like.

Looks like another round of admits dropped. good luck all

I got waitlisted at the end of February. May I kindly ask when I can expect the final admission result for my application? I am a little concerned as an international student that if the admission result were to come out too late, there might not be enough time to respond to other offers with earlier deposit deadlines and also make preparations for visa. Thank you very much!

+1 to this query, mainly because of visa timelines

We are very aware of visa timelines -- most of our students need student visas! When the deadline for making a deposit for admitted students passes in early April we will know how many waitlisted students should be admitted and will act on that information.

Are most results released/seats filled?

 

[NYU Tandon MS FE Admissions Team]

Our understanding is that we professors have seen about 92% of submitted applications; the others have not been sent to us yet. They may with the document scanning group or their documents may have issues that the Graduate Admissions team here is working on.
We have made a decision (admit, waitlist, deny) to every application we have received. We know that we will need to admit some of the waitlisted applicants -- we are now waiting for the deadline to give a deposit to pass so that we know how many from the waitlist to admit.

Glad to know the process. What are the average percentiles of students being waitlisted getting admitted in the past few years? I have been waitlisted and am thinking about if it will be helpful to provide my GRE scores since I haven't before:/

Got an admit today. It’s in my portal although no email received

Hi. The number of students admitted from the waitlist has varied wildly in the past 5 years -- COVID has made the relevance of historical data in this area pretty meaningless. As for adding more information: if you didn't think these scores would help you when you first applied, have the scores changed? Did you take the GRE a second time? If not then your initial instinct to not submit these was probably on point.

Hi, could you please tell us the exact date of the deposit deadline? Because then I'd have an idea as to when I can expect an update on my waitlisted status. Thanks!

Hi @NYU Tandon MS FE Admissions Team do we know the number of applicants this year and last year?

Hi kwatz,
For many admitted applicants the deposit deadline is 01 April. Many others have received extensions on this date from Tandon Graduate Admissions.

 

[NYU Tandon MS FE Admissions Team]

Hi @NYU Tandon MS FE Admissions Team do we know the number of applicants this year and last year?

Yes we do. 1633 this year, 1532 last year.

Understood, thank you. How long after 01 April can we expect admits to be rolled out?

 

[quantchoices]

Yes we do. 1633 this year, 1532 last year.

Thank you. And what will the expected class size be? That’s very competitive!

 

[NYU Tandon MS FE Admissions Team]

Understood, thank you. How long after 01 April can we expect admits to be rolled out?

slowly, throughout April, until we have the number of students that fill the cohort
