Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

I got it today, so one day after the first invitations sent

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...

I heard from them yesterday evening. My interviewer is a current student of the department. Don't worry, I am sure they will contact you soon.

Did the student contact you directly? Was there any flexibility in interview slots?

He send me an email with proposed interview time. I replied and proposed a different time. He agreed. So I guess there is some flexibility.

I would really appreciate it if anyone who gets interview could ask interviewers whether all invitations have been sent out and has anyone already been admitted yet.
many thanks

Any student from China got the invitation? Is it due to special consideration of Chinese new year that they will delay the send out of invitation?

An international student who is a friend of mine in college also got one at the same time as myself (earlier this week) and interviewed at 9am on last friday (I was at 11, but we had different people interviewing us)

Hi， Yolo. When did you submit your application? I guess later submissions are served earlier

Is this specifically for MSFE? What's the interview scene for MSOR?

Does MSOR also have Interviews for admission? If yes, when did they sent it last year?

As I know, msor also has interviews but may be later than MSFE. This post is about msfe.

hey, anyone could share their interview experience? Are the questions they ask as previous year?

 

[SungHwan]

Received invitation abt an hour ago. Looks like they are still sending!

 

[Yolo Zhang]

Is anyone willing to share interview experience with us? I would appreciate it.

 

[curaider]

The interviewer was a current student in MS&E at Columbia.

He started with an introduction of himself and asked me for an introduction of myself. He asked me who else I've applied to and where Columbia ranks on that list. I was asked how I define success and then professionalism. These are all the questions I can remember. It wasn't technical at all so I guess that makes preparation simpler.

I also got an offer the same day of the interview luckily enough. Good luck to everyone!

Hope this helped.
