Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Mat.S]

It seems from the tracker that somebody already interviewed for Columbia MFE. Did anyone else get an invite?

 

[John Lau]

Wonder too...

 

[Mensa]

Seems there is one who has been interviewed and got admitted.

 

[Corbin Guan]

I get contact with the guy(on other forum) who indeed got admitted. Seems Columbia has been starting the process till next month. Don't worry.

I can also confirm that I have received an invitation for an interview by an "IEOR Ambassador" 2/4/16.

Anyone have any insight as to what this means in terms of acceptance?
How many applicants even get an interview?

So far, seems just a few applicants got invitation. The acceptance rate after interview was very high according to past information.

 

[pingu]

How and why is that?

Never heard of anybody been rejected by the IEOR program. If you are, you might as well re-evaluate your priorities.

Any idea as to what questions were asked?
I did go through past years interview questions.

When did you get the invitation? I think the interview questions are all competency based.

Last night. Could you be more specific please.

 

[JonesUCF]

I'm panicking since other people started to receive interview invite and I haven't.

I'm in the same boat.

All the info about past years' questions point toward simple questions like "Why Columbia?" and such.

Yeah, but I wanted to know about what kind of questions they were asking this year.

 

[GauravM]

I have an interview from Columbia MFE as well. Haven't received any mail with interview details yet although I have accepted the invitation 2 days back.

Seems like it's been around the same kind of questions for the past few years. Guess we'll see how different it will be this year, if at all.
