hi has everyone received a "recommendation to graduate division for admission" ?? or an acceptance/ offer letter??
Hey Guys,
I am very happy share that I got positive response from admission committee for recommendation to the program today. Thanks for all the threads here which kept giving me hope to wait (else I would have been hopeless since it’s already close to R2 and I didn’t hear back). As FYI I also got a lot of checklist to complete:
1. Numerical Analysis
2. PDE
3. Macroeconomics
4. Python
5. Finance
6. Pre-program courses
7. Recommended Books
was confused as to what "recommendation to graduate division for admission" implies

I also got recommendation to graduate division for admission and an option to accept the recommendation (which is meant to reserve the spot as per the portal). An official admission letter will follow post approval from the Graduate Division(again as per the portal).

Congratulations @anonysolmon! Moving forward, how would you know if the checklist is considered “done”?

Hi, for the fellows that got accepted, I’m wondering if you have scholarships? I remembered there was a form for scholarship at the time of application but i didn’t submit it. I knew someone who got scholarship, not sure if it is related to this. Thanks!
