Most Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers)

1. I have graduated from university quite a while ago and I am therefore not in contact with any of my former professors anymore. I have worked in a company though and would like to know whether my employer can provide you with one of the required letters of recommendation.
   
   Answer: The MMF Admission Committee strictly prefers academic referees. Should you really have difficulties with finding a second academic referee, a reference letter by your employer may serve as a substitute. Please note that this may reduce your chances to receive a positive answer.
   
   
2. The online application system does not work properly. I can’t choose from the courses for which I would like to apply. Why?
   
   Answer: The online application system is currently deactivated. Please check the “News” section on the MMF homepage. As soon as the online application system is activated, we will announce it.
   
   
3. As regards my MMF application, do I need to send anything by regular post?
   
   Answer: At the time when you are applying online there is no need to send anything by post. You can complete your application online. Diploma certificates, TOEFL/IELTS/GRE score reports and the like should be scanned and attached to the online application. The MMF Admission Committee will base its decision entirely on what you (and your referees) provide online. Later on (in case you receive a positive answer) you would then need to provide us either with original degree certificates or certified copies thereof.
   
   
4. I have studied at an English speaking university for one semester and attended lectures and seminars which count towards my Bachelor degree. Does my stay abroad (at the English speaking university) substitute for TOEFL (IELTS) test results?
   
   Answer: No. We only abstain from requiring TOEFL (or IELTS) score reports if you have completed a full program that was taught at an English speaking institution. If you do not hold a degree from such institution, TOEFL (or IELTS) test results are mandatory.
   
   
5. As regards TOEFL test results that I have to attach to my online application, I am afraid I will be receiving the results after the closing date for the MMF application. Can I submit my application without the TOEFL report and send the report later on?
   
   Answer: No. At the time of your application you should have TOEFL/IELTS test results which satisfy our minimum requirement.
   
   
6. How many students are admitted per year, out of how many applicants?
   
   Answer: From an overall number of 400 to 500 applications we admit 45 students per year.
   
   
7. In which semester can I start the MMF program?
   
   Answer:  For the time being, we admit students only for the fall semester.
   
   
8. When will I be notified of a decision?
   
   Answer: Depending on which deadline you meet (March 15 or May 1) you can expect to receive an answer by the end of May, the beginning of July, respectively.
   
   
9. How will I be notified whether or not I have been accepted?
   
   Answer: Successful applicants will receive an acceptance letter both via email and regular post

10. Do you require GRE scores? How important are they?
    

    Answer: GRE scores are required for submitting an application, so please make sure you have them by the time you submit. A score of 680 in the quantitative part is required for admission.
