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.

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.

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.

Hi. Did anybody have a chance to do an interview?
Also, my interview is with a faculty member of IEOR. Is it the same as IEOR ambassador? Am I in trouble? Guide me please. Thanks.

Awaiting urgent reply. Only 5 hours left for mine.

Please relate the interview question for the same if possible!! I am being interviewed by a professor instead. What does that mean?

nishank gupta · 2/12/16

I don't thin you are in any trouble. Good luck for the interview. Mine is about 9 hours from now.

Who is taking your interview? A student?

nishank gupta · 2/12/16

Yeah an mfe student

SethiSS · 2/12/16

you got an email from Carmen?

Mine specifically states, we would like to schedule a faculty interview with a professor!!

what are you preparing for?

nishank gupta · 2/12/16

No I did not get an email from Carmen. I think it's better to get a chance to interact with faculty. Prepping for general things, nothing specific.
