[Yolo Zhang]

Don't worry, I think you will get your interview soon, I also had to wait almost a week after receiving my invitation before being contacted for it.

Thanks very much!

doubt if they are still at work during weekend...the decision deadline is shown on their FAQs admission questions section http://ieor.columbia.edu/admissions-questions
it seems that the interview process is bit delayed compared to last year... if I havent heard anything by monday, I probably gonna call or email them...

Hi yo yue,

I didn't get any email either. Did you call them? What did you get from them? Thank you for sharing your information!

Hi - got an invite to an interview, but didn't receive any email. I accepted only today morning. Think it's a big problem?

Hey Run, got busy today and havent got a chance to follow up on this... I didnt locate a contact number or any sort from website... I mite shoot an email first... the problem is there is no way to know if they reviewed your application or not... maybe they are still sending out the invitations... so fingers crossed...

Hey guys, I am just wondering anyone who has already interviewed heard back from Columbia? (of course except the guy who got admitted already... ) I interviewed a week from now and still have not heard back from them. A bit worried...

On the same boat. I guess we will have to be patient.

Anyone received invitation this week? I am wondering if they have finished sending all? thanks!

A student at Columbia told me that last year the admits were sent within two days of the interview and a delay indicated redirection to MSOR or a rejection. However, this year a lot of people (including me) have already interviewed with an IEOR ambassador but very few have receieved admits. The student indicated that admits might be sent in bulk this time. No idea when though...

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.

Hi PraveenK, did you request an early decision from Columbia? I noticed that you got an offer from IC in Jan...
