Hi everyone

I applied Columbia MSIE in September for Spring 2015. I still don't have any news.
And the program starts on Jan 20th. Not many people admitted on Tracker too.
Anyone admitted or still waiting??

Same here! I've got an interview in November for MSOR then nothing.
Anyone who received the result?

I had an interview today. The lady told me she will get back to me in a week or fastest by tomorrow.
Best of luck everyone!

Kurt , can you share your interview experience with us ?

 

[Kurt K.]

The interview was short (less than 10 mins). The lady asked why I applied to MSOR, what I am trying to accomplish from MSOR, and my career aspirations. The interview was pretty trivial. Hope this helps!

I was interviewed by the Graduate Students Services Coordinator on the 18th.

She started off by asking me to introduce myself and talk about my resume. Then, it was quite similar to Kurt's. She asked me to explain my trajectory towards MSOR, why Columbia, what kind of jobs am I looking for once I'm done, would I like to work in the U.S. (I'm an international applicant) and then she asked me to summarise my current job scope apart from the description listed in my resume.

She mentioned the same thing as to when the results would be out, before Christmas the latest. I also asked her would it be possible to complete MSOR in a year for a Spring applicant, she said yes if I want to load up my credits, but most students choose to do an internship in between. Lastly, I asked about the number of Spring applicants for 2015 and she said she couldn't give an exact number, but it normally averages to around 15-20% across the IEOR grad programs.

I hope that helps.

Best of Luck illinus! You mentioned that you are an international applicant. Which country are you applying from?
