I receive nothing today，so sad

 

[QQQYYY]

I just received a virtual interview too!

 

[catherine k wu]

I received one just now. It's a virtual interview

Did you finish it? I also received one but have no idea what kind of questions it's gonna ask. Since it's a virtual one, do you think it is more likely to be behavioural questions?

 

[manc]

I just got one too! It says 5 questions and should take 10minutes. But I haven't started it yet.

No I have not started it yet.

Thank you manc! Good luck on your interview!

I heard it's mostly behavioral last year but I'm not sure. Needs more research into that...

 

[Rupak Gupta]

If someone takes the interview, please post the questions you get.

I am assuming that everyone will get same questions since it's a virtual interview with pre-recorded questions.
I will post mine on 9th

Is it fair to say no interview invite = rejection?

 

[QQQYYY]

I just took the interview. 5 questions 2 min for each. You can rerecord each question if you want. Very behavioral. Question like how do like new york city........

I looked into the posts from last year: interviews appear to be on a rolling basis; people heard over the course of a few weeks. In general, higher ranked candidates had an interview, were given a decision with a window. Based on their results, they would go to what seemed to be the next tier. This is my impression from reading the 2015 and 2106 forum posts. However, last year current students conducted the interviews. Based on @QQQYYY 's helpful post, they are doing video interviews now, so maybe they did one batch for all those they wish to accept.

You are a star! I really wanted to know if you can re record!

 

[QQQYYY]

Yep you can rerecord. But you can only rerecord once. And there is no time limit when you wait to record again, so actually you can prepare it and record again. Hope it helps!

Hi! have you guys got interview invites? I saw several updates on the tracker Are they conducting interviews these days??

 

[ldechabannes]

Hello,

Any one wants to share the type of questions asked?
Any technical questions that would require some prep?

Thanks and good luck!

Thank you so much！ Did the questions cover what you wrote in your Statement of Purpose, Resume?

 

[JIAYOU]

Haven't received yet. Is Columbia still sending out interview emails or it simply means rejection?

Last 2 years, interview invites came out over at least a 2 week period (based on old forum posts I read). Hang tight.

Thanks for sharing! Does it mean that for the first record chance we don't have preparation time as five Qs 2 min each?
