Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Mensa]

I didn't even get the start and end... It was just a 3.5 minutes interview as to what is my preference for Columbia. That's it! I didn't have a chance to elaborate on anything!

Haha, that's funny, but I think you are in.

 

[nishank gupta]

@SethiSS awesome I think. Mine lasted 20 mins. Didn't go as well as I had hoped I think.

 

[SethiSS]

I hope so man! Fingers crossed! He said that you will be contacted soon!

Nishank don't judge the interview based on your expectations.... Let's meet up in Columbia!

 

[nishank gupta]

@SethiSS - nope, I think I screwed this one up. Waiting for reject but then there's always that slight chance I guess.

 

[itsmentos]

@nishank gupta there's always a chance you're right! were the questions technical?

 

[nishank gupta]

Nope nothing technical.

 

[Zhang Yulei]

Nope nothing technical.

Good Luck!
So the questions were "Why Columbia? introduce your self; how do you fund your study?"

I have seen from other forum that if you are admitted, you will receive the email in two or three days. I guess you will succeed!

Well I had a 17 min interview, with about 12-15 other questions as well, but nothing technical all quite general.

@nishank gupta Thx! Hope to hear more good news from you!
My interview will be on next Monday.

Anyone know whether Columbia notifies applicants in case of a reject? Pre-interview, that is.

They generally send out all rejections by early March.

They are still sending out new interview invitations; you should wait until the end of February.

 

[Piranut]

They're still sending interview invitation. I just received it this afternoon (Saturday). BTW, does anyone know when will we know the result? I got another offer from CMU and have to pay the deposit before March 10.

Don't worry, they will make decisions by early March.

Hi everyone

A question on the way people have received their interview invites for this year. As you might be aware, up until last year or last to last year, there used to confusion around the 'Interview Tab' appearing on the application page. And not every time people got emails.

@Piranut @SethiSS @David ChenHa @GauravM @nishank gupta - Did you guys get an email or the 'Interview Tab' or both?

Eager awaiting your response. Will accordingly put more effort in checking the application page.

Thanks!

 

[nishank gupta]

I got both the interview tab and email.
