I believe they will send rejections after May 31st, that's the tentative date for the final round decisions.

Hey,
Had my interview May 13 th. It seems like they give out results for those who make it in 37 days Max after interview. Any chance I am wrong?

For those applying for Fall 2025, here is their Q/A session a month ago.

 

[quantnabe]

Did anyone receive a decision the past week? On the website they said the tentative decision release date for round 1 is March 1

Just received an email saying that "...the admissions committee is still currently reviewing your application for September 2025 admission to the UCLA Anderson Master of Financial Engineering (MFE) program."

Seems like many programs are later than usual this year to release decisions

I also received this email -
This email is to inform you that the admissions committee is currently unable to review your application for September 2025 admission to the UCLA Anderson Master of Financial Engineering (MFE) program due to the fact that you have not yet completed the interview process. If you would like to complete the interview at this stage, please do so. The link you were sent should still be active. We cannot review your application until the interview is completed and submitted. Once you have completed it, the admissions committee will review it along with your application packet and will notify you of our decision on a rolling basis going forward.

But I didn't receive any video interview link. Is anyone else also in same boat?

 

[nkscb]

Has anyone received a mail from UCLA MFE admissions team like -

Have you taken any math courses recently? Please forward us a scan of your transcript (the full size) in one page, as soon as you are able. I will be releasing your admissions decision shortly.

 

[nkscb]

I have sent them the mail, however, I am curious knowing whether its a good vibe or bad vibe mail?

 

[nkscb]

I have just been admitted to UCLA MFE program. But I already have an offer from NCSU. I want to pivot towards a quant trader role in HFT/ Hedge Funds.
Just wanted to know which one of the two programs would have more chances of placing me in this role. Any idea?
