oooh I think I confused the masters in financial engineering with the masters in financial economics.
*** FOR MASTERS IN FINANCIAL ECONOMICS THERE IS NO VIDEO INTERVIEW ***
In case other applicants are concerned, I emailed admissions and they said no video interview for Financial Economics, there is an interview for financial engineering. Hope this helps anyone else who was concerned that they didn't receive a link

I personally have not received an invite for a face-to-face and have not heard of anyone else getting one either. It seems that they may be taking the same approach as schools like Cornell and only using the prerecorded 5-question interview.

I think people meant the pre-recorded 5 questions when they mentioned interview. I got admitted last year and didn't receive any live interview.

Same here, it was a prerecorded interview with 3 questions. When do we get our decision for Columbia mfe?, according to last year it was by first week of April.
Last year the first round of decisions were given out sometime in February I believe. There was a decision deadline for round one admits of March 10th. I think the April admissions were the last round.

I think a decent number of those admitted would wait until close to the deadline hoping for results from other programs (CMU, Princeton, Berkeley), so you can expect Columbia to send out more offers shortly after that deposit deadline.

You mean GRE and TOEFL? Yes. Did the video interview on the 10th.
They mention on the website as well that they will send a notification when the application is under review. But I haven't received it yet.
Has anyone here received the mail?

Got it, are you currently part of the program. If so would you suggest someone from cs undergrad with intent to become a front desk quant to join the program if admitted interms of learning and job opportunities from Columbia mfe and how was your experience. Would help many of us a lot if you can provide us an answer.

I was admitted last year, currently in my second semester. Hard to say how useful the courses are, first semester was mostly about the fundamental maths (stochastic, time series, convex opt), which could be boring for those with prior experience.
In terms of job opportunities, I know a couple of my classmates have secured their summer internships but I only regularly keep in touch with a few (hard to chat with 60+ people only relying on zoom/discord). I'd say from the ones I know of, it was a 3:1 split between banks and buy-side.
Hi - Does any of you acknowledgement of official GRE score receipt? I am not seeing Official GRE Score Received in the checklist, however, ETS shows it was delivered in the first week of December. I uploaded unofficial score just to be sure. I did the video interview soon after the application was submitted at deadline. Any insight on GRE score report appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same issue, however, a few weeks back once my official score was delivered it did show up on the checklist and then disappeared a few days afterwards. The website says that they will contact us if they are not able to verify the scores so I wouldn't be too worried about that.
Thank you for sharing that insight.
