@nishank: yours is a telephonic interview?

 

[Zhang Yulei]

Hey Guys, Are there any tips for interview?

 

[nishank gupta]

@SethiSS nope skype

 

[SethiSS]

@nishank gupta okk.. I am sorry to ask but then why are they trying to confirm my phone number?

 

[nishank gupta]

@SethiSS hmm. Let me know how it goes. @Zhang Yulei - just be confident and honest i guess.

 

[SethiSS]

@nishank gupta could it be that they would make a skype call on the number?
Sure! I will! Did they ask to reconfirm your mobile number?

 

[Zhang Yulei]

@nishank gupta Thx! From the tracker, I find that lots of were rejected after interview. A little bit anxious.

[nishank gupta]

@SethiSS How did your interview go man.?

 

[SethiSS]

I didn't even get the start and end... It was just a 3.5 minutes interview as to what is my preference for Columbia. That's it! I didn't have a chance to elaborate on anything!

Haha, that's funny, but I think you are in.

 

[nishank gupta]

@SethiSS awesome I think. Mine lasted 20 mins. Didn't go as well as I had hoped I think.

 

[SethiSS]

Haha, that's funny, but I think you are in.

I hope so man! Fingers crossed! He said that you will be contacted soon!

Nishank don't judge the interview based on your expectations.... Let's meet up in Columbia!

 

[nishank gupta]

@SethiSS - nope, I think I screwed this one up. Waiting for reject but then there's always that slight chance I guess.

 

[itsmentos]

@nishank gupta there's always a chance you're right! were the questions technical?

 

[nishank gupta]

Nope nothing technical.

 

[Zhang Yulei]

Nope nothing technical.

Good Luck!
So the questions were "Why Columbia? introduce your self; how do you fund your study?"

I have seen from other forum that if you are admitted, you will receive the email in two or three days. I guess you will succeed!

Well I had a 17 min interview, with about 12-15 other questions as well, but nothing technical all quite general.
