From last few years of forum posts, looks like invites went out over a two week period. That gives us to the end of next week - maybe end of Feb to freak out.

Here are some questions I know.

Why Columbia?
Programming experience?
What asset and market do you follow?
What integrity mean to you?
Question?

What do you think of New York City?
What does Financial Engineering mean to you?
We are very proud of our curriculum; what courses/topics are you excited about?
How to you know when some one has integrity?
Do you have any questions about our team?

You can call the admission office to ask if they are still sending out the "interview stream" interviews.

Do you know if they are giving out more interviews than previous years? Seems like many people on the tracker get the interview.

Did you ask when the results would come out? So nervous now....

 

[CCCCCX]

Still no interview invite. Does it mean I'm rejected?

 

[Onegin]

Not looking good- I'm in the same boat.

I just received an email saying my application is marked "review"... This is so weird, I have already received an email saying my application marked under review a month ago... Does this mean I will not be the first batch of receiving the decisions?... Has anyone received similar email?...

 

[rickwoo]

Me too received a similar mail. I see prospects getting dimmed.

Hi everyone, had the interview (it went so-so) and got the same email twice. I am wondering if everyone got this email or if it was a handful of applicants.
