Princeton MFin Princeton MFin Admission Discussion

[Michsund]

Yeah, dual BS in applied math and industrial engineering from university of illinois. A master from Harvard. 3.6-3.7 GPA in both schools. 2yrs experience in Microsoft and 2 yrs experience in a top hedge fund, both role are software engineering though. V162 + Q170 + AWA 3.5 GRE. No research experience or anything. I position myself as strong candidate but nothing super star at all.

Lmao your trolling at this point. You are a superb candidate. You work at very good companies, your probably one of the top candidates.

Just for data point, I interviewed yesterday night and got an alumni interview invite today morning.

I also received one invitation 24 hours after my initial interview. The email stresses that the alumni interview is brief and not guaranteed.

Yeah, I think the process maybe different from previous years and the second round is more like "we want to know a bit more about you". Good luck to everyone

What is the first interview like? More like just behavioral or CV discussion?

I did not get a lot of CV questions. But I think the interview questions are highly personalized.

Is it guaranteed that the decisions will come out March 15? Could they come out in batches/rolling or is it standardized?

I don't know where you got March 15 from, but they've typically come out before then (like first week of march/last week of February)

Can someone share how they schedule the 1st interview? Will we have the chance to choose over a certain time window for an assigned day? or can we choose a certain day during the week? Just receive the invitation, but they only ask for my Zoom and contact info...

On the next page, you should see multiple slots. You can choose the suitable one. Having said that if you delay, the slots might get occupied.
