Are all the decisions likely to come out at the same time? Seems to be so from trackers in past years but someone correct me if wrong.

Last year the people who got in found out a bit early on the same dayish. So it was like throughout the day and I believe next morning people got in. Then few days later everyone else was rejected

Just curious, how do you people feel about your 1st round interviews? (e.g.Confident/Mediocre/Bombed)

Mediocre :/ but I don't think the interview is a huge part of the application, except maybe to tie-break between two good candidates.

Not so sure about this--only top 100 interviewed, basically everyone is really good stats-wise. This figure cuts out enough people that everyone remaining will be relatively strong but not enough that the interview doesn't serve to differentiate. Then again, someone should correct me if I'm wrong.

There's really no way of knowing unless you're on the admission committee. We'll see, it's out of our hands now. Good luck to you!

Mediocre for me, but I think interview plays a huge role. Given the top 100ish candidates are filtered out, it finally boils down to the interviews/interaction with the admissions committee and convince them you are the person and no one else. Else, on paper, everyone is more or less the same

I was told the interview is only an informational one. I guess it probably won't matter that much?
 
  • 2021  Rejected tips has a tracker for this program.
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the importance of the interview probably varies candidate to candidate
 
  • josephron has no tracker for this program.
Some people said because alumni interview is supposed to be brief, it is unlikely to be quantitative and more likely to be about getting to know you. What are people's thoughts on this
 
  • 2021  Rejected _xd has a tracker for this program.
I did a rough count on the number of people receiving interviews on open forums, such as the QuantNet tracker, 1point3acres.com and etc. It seems that ~ 25 people have indicated receiving first round interview for this program so far. By no means this is an exhaustive count. Just thought this info might be helpful for some.
 
  • Zelong Qiu has no tracker for this program.
Just heard back about who my interviewer will be.
Have you schedule that interview yet? Looks like the asked for the info first and then trying to reach out to alumni to see if they can find the interviewer.

I’m also curious about this. Does anyone know whether it’s quantitative or just getting to know you?
 
  • another has no tracker for this program.
For people who got the alumni interview, could you share a little bit about your backgrounds?
