Hi Fink,

Would you be able to recall as to what the interview questions were at your time?

Hi Fink,

I do not recall the questions, just that the questions were all behavioral.

Hi Fink,

Just gave interview; I don't know if posting questions on a public forum is appropriate. All I can say is: calm down and give it. You'll be fine.

columbia still sending invites???

 

[gwahi]

Any idea how many rounds of interview does Columbia have? Do we look forward to a Personal Interview after the pre-recorded one or wait for an Admit/Reject?

Last year, they conducted only 1 round of virtual interview. No telephonic or skype interview.

Ah, Thanks man!

 

[Matt A]

Anyone have any idea how many people they interviewed?

 

[Geekynoob]

No one knows. I remember someone said back in 2011/12 that if you receive interview invitation, there's 90% chance that you would be selected.

More recently, if you check the tracker for 2017, proportion wise there are almost 30-40% people who had interviews and got rejected finally.

So I would assume that for 100 seats, they probably interview between 200-400.

Am done with my interview two days ago , any idea on when might we get notified on Admission Status ?!

 

[Geekynoob]

In 2016, they started sending results by almost mid Feb. In 2017, starting 6th Mar. In 2018, God knows.

 

[jc.jay]

Thanks man , I hope it’ll be Feb mid this time.

 

[Susan Chen]

[Geekynoob]

Susan, again stating statistics here: they sent invites in 2017 till around 16 Feb. There's hope! Best of luck

Last year interview invites were rolled out in the span of two weeks in Feb and in later months also.

Thanks! That gives me hope

 

[Geekynoob]

Are people still receiving invites? Can anyone confirm that they/their friends have still been receiving invites?

 

[Juny]

Is there anyone who doesn’t receive the interview invitation yet? I’m curious about selectivity for interview.
