it seems that the interview process is bit delayed compared to last year... if I havent heard anything by monday, I probably gonna call or email them...

Hi yo yue,

I didn't get any email either. Did you call them? What did you get from them? Thank you for sharing your information!

Hi - got an invite to an interview, but didn't receive any email. I accepted only today morning. Think it's a big problem?

Hey Run, got busy today and havent got a chance to follow up on this... I didnt locate a contact number or any sort from website... I mite shoot an email first... the problem is there is no way to know if they reviewed your application or not... maybe they are still sending out the invitations... so fingers crossed...

Hey guys, I am just wondering anyone who has already interviewed heard back from Columbia? (of course except the guy who got admitted already... ) I interviewed a week from now and still have not heard back from them. A bit worried...

On the same boat. I guess we will have to be patient.

Anyone received invitation this week? I am wondering if they have finished sending all? thanks!

A student at Columbia told me that last year the admits were sent within two days of the interview and a delay indicated redirection to MSOR or a rejection. However, this year a lot of people (including me) have already interviewed with an IEOR ambassador but very few have receieved admits. The student indicated that admits might be sent in bulk this time. No idea when though...

 

[Lena Lee]

I heard that they already sent out around 30 interview invitations and last year they sent at least 120 for MFE. So there's still chance!

Hi, any inside info now? Has interview invitation been sent out already? Still no results. But a friend of mine just received an invitation this morning. Finger crossed and thanks a lot.

The interviewer was a current student in MS&E at Columbia.

He started with an introduction of himself and asked me for an introduction of myself. He asked me who else I've applied to and where Columbia ranks on that list. I was asked how I define success and then professionalism. These are all the questions I can remember. It wasn't technical at all so I guess that makes preparation simpler.

I also got an offer the same day of the interview luckily enough. Good luck to everyone!

Hope this helped.

Hi PraveenK, did you request an early decision from Columbia? I noticed that you got an offer from IC in Jan...

 

[jelena_mm]

Does Columbia still send out invitations this week? Anyone?

it seems that someone scheduled an interview on 28th, so adcom probably is still sending out invites

I did ask whether I could be notified ASAP as I had another offer waiting. I was told they'd see what they could do as they were already issuing invites. So maybe I was given an early decision, I really don't know.

Thank you for your reply. I guess the rest of us will hear back from the adcom next week.
