Very straight forward interview, I'd refer to the other posts on the forums here. Mostly seemed like they wanted an idea of numbers for the adcom

do u have an interview tab? if u do then you're pretty much in

 

[paulz]

I don't have that tab and that's the concern...

Ah gotcha. Idk but its always possible u might get one.

It seems like they sent last year's invitations out over a 3 week period. I think the best course of action right now is to sit tight.

Hi, thanks for the reply but I have a question. I have just accepted the invitation but the time is missing. How can I find the time for interview, does it come through email?
thanks.

Hey Paul,

Not entirely sure what you're asking. If you were wondering about my previous comment saying invites might still come out, that was just optimism. If you're asking me to email admission for you I have to say no unfortunately. I would wait a few more days for a reply, and if none comes just give them a call. I can tell you that the best time to get someone on the phone is between 10-11 am. This was told to me by the office secretary.

Hi all,

I have my interview for Columbia MSFE later today. I cant seem to find info anywhere online about how many people they interview vs how many they accept. My interview is being done by a Masters of Science candidate at Columbia, which makes me think the interview is not a substantial part of the admission process?

 

[Benjamindana]

just got it now!

 

[jetforcegeminix]

just got the invite!

 

[utkarsh dalmia]

Just got an invite. Has someone interviewed already? Normally, columbia would conduct a very straight forward interview and ask a few basic questions. Is it the same this year?

 

[KareemK]

Anyone know how many people they interview?

Hello,

I applied to MSFE program right before the deadline on Jan 6. Seems like everybody here has got an interview invite. Does this mean I am out? Have they given out all the interview invites for admission?

Any update would be useful.

Thanks,
