Columbia MFE Columbia MFE admissions results

[Lele Liu]

Did you send Columbia MFE an email just to make sure?

I was wondering whether it is because the spring 2013 has been postponed. Anyway, I'm still waiting for the reply.

They only have Fall admission per year so it's either a wrong link or they should update the name. I'm surprised we haven't had more people questioning about this.

I have been hounding them for the app for some time now. They e-mailed me about an hour ago saying it is now available.

 

[homwillwin]

cool.

btw, anyone knows what the Subject Code(in its Test Score page) for GRE Mathematics is?

Hey,

Will be applying to Columbia MSFE (In a day or two). Found this thread, so came to say hello! Is there another more active thread? I searched but could not find.

Hi ,
I made an inadvertent mistake in Personal Statement submitted under the section of Required Documents. In my SOP, I mistakenly happen to mention the name of another University, in which I have applied prior to Columbia. Is there a slightest possibility that I may get a call from Columbia ?

I've seen some applicants carelessly mention another program in their SOP and get rejected. Maybe you can find out if you can update/replace that SOP before they process your application.
I always try to advise people to customize their application, not merely making a common template and use it to apply to all program, after changing the name. Mistakes like this can be avoided.

Is there anyone applying for columbia MFE? Have they started to send out interview invitation already?
One of my professor just submitted his recommendation last week... Will they review my application?

 

[wow]

I still don't get the interview invitation

 

[inferno]

Last year the first intvw. happend on 12Feb. Leave 2 weeks. So I would say they will start sending the invites from end of this month.

 

[wow]

Anyone think the process will be pushed back 2 weeks because of the application submission deadline extension?

 

[Saumitra]

Somebody in the tracker has mentioned getting an interview invite for 5th Feb. Anybody else heard of anything? I know about last year, but still intrigued by early invites.

 

[wow]

So have they started to send out interview invitations or is the Feb 5 guy screwing with us?

 

[Saumitra]

Got a mail asking me to schedule a Skype Interview, which according to them would last no longer than 10 minutes. There are around 5 ppl in the tracker who have updated the Interview section, so i guess they have started sending the invites! All the best to all you guys!

Got a mail asking me to schedule a Skype interview. What questions are they going to ask us? Generally, how long does the interview last? Because they have given 15 min slots and 3 people have to select the same slot.

 

[Saumitra]

From what I read in the forum, the questions are very generic like "Why MSFE?" "Why Columbia", "Which Colleges have you applied to and where does Columbia Rank for you".

Please correct me if I am wrong

P.S. It is mentioned in the mail that the interview will not last longer than 10 mins

 

[shivengupta]

I have also read the forum and also read that someone was asked technical questions. That's why I asked this question. Also, after the interview how much time are they going to take to make a final decision? Do they select a lot of students from the interviews?

 

[shivengupta]

And they have given 15 minutes slots and 3 applicants are fitted into each slot. How does that work?

And they have given 15 minutes slots and 3 applicants are fitted into each slot. How does that work?

Could you please tell why 3 applicants have to fit in thos 15 minutes?

I think people in the 3 slots will be interviewed by 3 different people so that they can squeeze in maximum number of interviews in min amount of time..

 

[shivengupta]

That's what I am thinking.
