Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

So anxious...
seems many ppl got interview invitations... wish everyone best of luck
could someone share what their application status tab shows... is it supposed to show application under review or sth like that... mine just shows the checklist of tasks of application with three green checks aside the three items and nothing else... does this mean my application hasnt got reviewed or ... many thanks...

I cannot see any change in application status tab after I received interview invitation.

There are no words saying that 'under review' or anything else.

I also have just three green checks.

Hey, thanks so much for verifying that for me... then I guess I dont have a way to track to see whether they reviewed my profile or not... hopefully hear sth from them soon...

Fingers crossed on your application...

does anyone get invitation today? I am really curious

 

[PraveenK]

By the way guys, if you've received an email saying you are invited for an interview and can't see an 'Interview' tab next to the 'Application' tab, email seasgradmit@columbia.edu telling them the problem.

That's what I did and the tab appeared a couple of hours later. They emailed me today apologizing for the error on their part.

I'd recommend all of you do this so that you can have your interview sooner and have a better chance of getting an admit.

Good Luck.

on the same boat...
based on the interview questions ppl shared on the forum, I suspect interview itself is not that important in admission process, its really difficult for ppl to stand out from behavioral questions as they are subjective in nature plus the interviewers are current students...
the important thing is to get the interview invitation I guess...
remain positive and optimistic

 

[nonstoptiffany]

Yes, I emailed them, they said applications are still under review.

hi, i am an applicant for the 2015FALL, and i am now facing the same problem....
may i ask whether you received any notification after that and did you have a interview?

thanks a lot!

Who will interview you? student from MSFE or MSOR?

 

[PraveenK]

It's with an IEOR ambassador which could be any student, on the MS or PhD in the department. Mine was with an MS&E student.

I see. As I am thinking the MSFE may have fewer students which may delay the interview process.

 

[OKkkkkk]

still waiting... i hope they have not sent out all the invites

Don't worry, I think you will get your interview soon, I also had to wait almost a week after receiving my invitation before being contacted for it.
