Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[AnalyticalMind]

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.

I am replying to my own comment to note that it has been exactly 30 days since I received the first email meaning that it might be an auto-generated message for an application under review.

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?...

same here. Does this mean my application get redirected to MSOR? I didn't get interview

I got the "marked for review"email just now, but its the first reminder I received from Columbia.
I did submit the application very late though.

I got this mail for the second time too. I think they just sent out the email to all the applicants ! ;-) Let's cheer up!

Not to reverse the tide of this discussion but did you get an interview?

That's relieving to hear. I think it is more likely the 30 day notification i was referring to. (Jan 17 -> Feb 16)

I had my interview last week and I just received the same email, too.
No need to worry, maybe this email does not mean anything at all

Didn't get interview either and got the email. Guess this was auto generated

 

[Quantknight]

Any idea on when are the interview results expected to be out?

Seems like this was human error rather than a system error
Columbia accidentally accepts, then rejects students - CNN.com

Anyone has idea on when the result will come out? This week or?

 

[Charles Hammer]

Any news anyone?

Also, does anyone know if it is feasible to ask for an early decision and if this is likely to affect your chances negatively? I have a deadline looming.

Same issue. I emailed both seasgradmit and ieor department to request an early decision, seasgradmit replied "we cannot provide an exact date for your decision nor expedite the process." and ieor does not response...

For those of you having experienced technical difficulties with InterviewStream, did you ever get an invite for a Skype interview? I got one and called the admit office, and they said it was meant for those who they believe when reviewing the upload had trouble with the app.

I had some difficulties in reviewing my recordings so I emailed the IEOR team. They then confirmed with me that my recordings have been uploaded successfully. I did not get the skype interview. So you mean the skype interview is just a replacement for the InterviewStream one instead of a 'second round' interview?

I had same issue last cycle with MFE but the other program I was accepted to extended my deadline twice. Email your other deadline and ask for an extension.

Based on what the IEOR staff explained to me, it's not 2nd round for sure. They told me that one of the clips was missing from my submission and so they arranged somebody to re-interview over Skype. I think your case is different because at least your submission was complete, no need for another interview.

Thanks! Good luck for your interview!
