Hello! Has anyone applied for Spring admission at GaTech QCF?

 

[Donkeymath]

Will there be spring admission for QCF@GATECH?Shouldn't it be in fall? And what about the job hunting for international students in this program?

Hey everyone ,

I just received an interview invite to QCF GATECH ... Anyone else in the same boat (because I see in the tracker that many have got admits without interview.)

If anyone has had interview , Please post the type (behavioral and/or Technical ) and any specific questions that I can expect ...

Thanks in advance.

I'm in same boat. GaTech invited me too but not provided a specific time.
I'm not sure what's the type of this interview.
Someone help...
Thanks

Hey, has anyone applied the early decision (ddl - 10/15/2014) for the QCF 2015 fall program?

In the tracker, the two cases in year 2013 and year 2012 both get their results prior to 11/10, but I haven't heard any update from buzzport.

Any idea about when I can get admission status?

Also, if you have time, would you kindly evaluate my chances of getting into this QCF early decision program?

I applied for the spring term and I just finished my interview today

Then I guess the admission for fall term has to wait longer.
May I know what major fields/questions has been interviewed?
Thanks for your information, and good luck man!

There doesn't seem to be any pattern to which applicants they interview? Looking at the previous tracker timelines, my guess is that they only interview borderline applicants because many got admitted and rejected without an interview.

Hi Quants
Can anyone shed some light on Boston MSF and Gatech QCF from the perspective of placements and reputation.
And does anyone have any idea that after how many days post the interview from the Adcom does one get final decision from Boston University and Gatech QCF ??
Please do the needful ..

I think QCF is more focused on coding while MSMF is more focused on math.
Just my 2 cents.
Have you heard from GaTech yet?
