I just got an email from Columbia MS-OR ....
It says that i should call them for interview.......

I have two questions

1. From what i have heard the interview is barely 10 minutes long.......Does it mean they will offer me an admit if i tell them that I want to attend the MS OR program or will my application be reviewed further?

2. I also have an admit from Rutgers MSMF program. Best case scenario, i get an admit from both..... which one should i opt for? Any current MS-OR and Rutgers students out there??

Lol What if they read this post and Columbia doesn't offer you anything ... 'Rohan' name shouldn't be that hard to find in the applicant list ;)
 
  • Rohan has no tracker for this program.
oh man i didn't think of that !!!!
Hope they don't read it....

in case they do...
Well lets hope there's more than one Rohan...
Its a pretty common name...

But seriously what do u think?
 
  • kbharadwaj has no tracker for this program.
oh god, funny!

Anyway, Rohan what do you want to do? A strategic consulting role or a quant job in the field of finance? Your search for the better option lies in this question.. Answer that, and you should be fine.
 
  • Rohan has no tracker for this program.
I dunno man.....i am more keen on getting in as a quant but Columbia is an Ivy league....

What are the odds of landing a strategic consulting role?

Lol but I am sure there is only one "rohan chawla"

Odds of landing a job alone, being an international student depends on your proactiveness, networking skills, alumni connections, and various other economy related factors. Oh yea, how well you do in your program is also an importnat factor though.

And regarding stratetigic consulting job, do you have experience in IT consulting? If yes, it would be easier for you. If you are just a software developer, then you would be among the same pool of job applicants, who are just willing to do anything for a strategic consulting role.

Best,
Bharadwaj

@joy - how the hell did u find out my last name (assuming it is my last name)??

@Kbharadwaj - I worked as a software developer.....me slugging it out with a pool of intelligent students for a consulting role......hmmmm that is a cheerful thought.....but then again its the same everywhere, for every course......Lets see how the interview goes.....which reminds me of my earlier question....Will my application be sent for review again after the interview?
 
  • kbharadwaj has no tracker for this program.
Yes, it would be, as far as I know. Although before that just make sure what you want to do rest of your life.

Best,
Bharadwaj
 
  • Rohan has no tracker for this program.
its a risk....i mean if Columbia rejects my application after the review and then the rutgers deadline also passes, i'll be left with nothing....
I guess i'll just ask them when i call them up...
 
  • kbharadwaj has no tracker for this program.
When's your rutgers deadline? They let you know of your MSOR decision in two weeks I reckon.
 
  • Rohan has no tracker for this program.
Rutgers deadline is 15th April.......
Can i ask them to give me an extension?
 
  • kbharadwaj has no tracker for this program.
You sure can ask for an extension as I guess you would hear about your decision from Columbia at the end of April.

Programming component of the program
Matlab, C++, Java, VBA, AMPL … simulation requires Matlab, credit derivatives we used VBA or Matlab depending on the assignment, AMPL was only for deteministic models. Other than simulation you could choose your language as long as it’s accepted as a well known language.
