Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[Ben B]

Just got mine, as I was reading this thread.
I am a CS/Fin undergrad, with experience in equity research positions, so I have somewhat limited quant experience. Any interview tips would be quite helpful.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Hey everyone, I just got the invitation for interview from Columbia as well. However I could not find the interview tab in the application system as described in the email. Has any one figured out how to exactly accept this invitation yet? Thank you guys very much and good luck to your interview!

 

[Shishir]

I have got a mail saying that i will be interviewed next week.
Does anyone know what kind of questions are asked in this interview?
Im from a decision sciences background and am not sure if they will ask me any finance related questions.

It is at ribbon. Next to Application.

Thanks for your reply. By ribbon do you mean navigation bar which should include 'Home', "application', 'application status', 'email admin. office' and 'profile' tabs? If it is what you mean, I think I still cannot find the 'interview' tab yet.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

Pretty weird that you don't have that button. Maybe try different browser/computer. If it still does not work, I would contact the admin office.

I have tried with different browsers but the Interview tab still does not appear. I have written to the admissions office for this problem. Thank you anyway.

Anoyone from Europe got interview invitation?

 

[JimmyK]

Yes I did

 

[Claude]

Anyone knows whether the office sends all invitations in one single day?

 

[qwertyasdf]

Does anyone know if an interview is required for admission?

 

[tostii]

Based on the tracker, it does not seem likely that anyone who was not interviewed will be admitted. Hoping that I hear from them soon, but I do not have high hopes.

 

[Streng]

I just got an interview invitation so they didn't send all the invitations at the same time !

 

[Andres Gonzalez]

Just got an interview invitation too.

 

[OKkkkkk]

Do they interview everyone who is admitted to the program?

 

[tostii]

Do they interview everyone who is admitted to the program?

A cursory glance at the tracker data shows no admitted student without an interview. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[Dude Lebowski]

Has anyone been contacted by an IEOR ambassador yet? I pressed the 'Accept Invitation' button two days back but haven't received any further information...

 

[xiuyuan]

I am still not getting an invitation. I submit my application on Jan 5.

[Streng]

Yes, I submitted my application on Jan 5 and I got an invitation

 

[xiuyuan]

Yes, I submitted my application on Jan 5 and I got an invitation
