Actual Outcomes

Accepted

  • Oxford MFE: accepted (not in focused US Tier0+1 list)
  • HKUST–Yale M2M: HKUST offer; Yale leg pending at time of post

Rejected

  • Master of Finance (MIT): rejected (no interview)
  • Columbia MSAFA: rejected (not in focused 15)
  • Master in Asset Management (Yale SOM): pending post-interview at time of post (same program family as yale-am row)
  • Yale Silver Scholar: different program — not yale-am

Model accuracy note

MIT reject vs ~41% target on mit-mfin suggests heavy under-threshold or feature gap. Oxford / MSAFA / joint programs outside the 15-row list.
