May I know why you think so? I saw others turning down Columbia offer when they were redirected from MFE to MSOR. Is there, in your opinion, major difference in employment opportunities between the 2 programs? (I know syllabus-wise, MSOR can be designed to resemble much of MFE)At least an interview invitation couldn't possibly mean rejection. I am checking my mail like 100 times a day. Don't mind MSOR either.
I think Columbia send out too many interviews this year, and it is highly possible that they combine the interview for MSOR and MFE. Anyone has the same feeling?
Are you in Beijing?Ah I received the mail while sleeping... and when I got up it's already 7:30 pm ET...
NoAre you in Beijing?
Do you mind if I asked are you undergraduate from Shanghai or U.S. college?No
In China, though.
Neither. I'm from Shandong UnivDo you mind if I asked are you undergraduate from Shanghai or U.S. college?
No
In China, though.
Honestly I prefer behavioral questions, haha, good luck 2 u 2:DThe earlier interviews for Peking and Tsinghua seem a lot more different than the ones we are having. Good luck
Admin:Is there any possibility of some more emails/interview calls in the next week?
Would be better if she added her profile and timelines on our Tracker.Claude_Shannon, would you mind sharing your profile? I haven't got anything yet...just wanted to evaluate my chances...
Agree. When I tried to dig some information from last year's tracker, it's frustrating to see that not many people shared their profiles (aka test scores, gpa etc)...Based on limited samples, I sensed a taste for higher standard test scores from Columbia...I mean, even verbal seemed to play its part...not a good news for meWould be better if she added her profile and timelines on our Tracker.
Well if people share their scores, what do you hope to find? If someone with higher scores post, you get more depressed. If someone with lower scores post, you feel happier about yourself but the new guy is now pissed off seeing your score and existing listings (presumably higher.) it also can backfire on admissions when someone go to them and say "hey, why you guys interviewed someone with lower test stats than mine instead of me?"Agree.
