Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Admission Discussion

[PrakharT]

do students take interview? i mean, I've received a mail from a current Columbia student but she's not from MFE department but from management and engineering program at IEOR. Is this something to bother about?

 

[Benjamindana]

My interviewer is also a current student in Operations research with a financial concentration. I don't think this is something to bother about since it's not a technical interview.

There was a question in the application whether u want to be considered for any other program? What did u select there? I selected 'yes'. I hope they're not considered me for Management and Engineering. I am scared!

 

[Benjamindana]

I didn't select anything there. Maybe now this is something to bother about. We'll see...

Hi , after you guys received email from the ambassadors, you just pick the time slots that suits you, right?
but the question for me is that the ambassador who is supposed to reply me email doesnot show up.....worries////

 

[Jet Cheng]

Hi, yesterday I received email from Columbia ambassador who is to conduct my interview for me. since some of the date is already passed, so I sent him an email back, notifying my choice of slot. But there is no reply because the time I picked is right now. and the confirmation email I sent to the ambassador is not replied either. Because I have some business in the another day in the time slot, shall I reschedule the date with the ambassador or just notify the ADCOM and ask for a reschedule/

this is kindof urgent and i need some advice.

thank you

 

[Jet Cheng]

Sigh.IT turns out my mailbox blocked email replies from Columbia u，just reschedule my interview. Unbelievable

Whoever said the interview is not technical made an incorrect statement. He/She just got lucky. I had a highly technical interview with multiple brain teasers. Just a heads up for those still prepping for theirs.

 

[KareemK]

Mine did not consist of any technical questions, at all.

Mine was the same!!!!!!!
I prepared for basic questions that supposed to be asked just like others have shared.
But several brain teasers did muddled me……and i think i did very bad in tech problems as well as the brain teasers.

Mind sharing the tech questions?

Sorry that would defeat the purpose of the interview...and I urge others who also had these questions to refrain from posting them.

 

[Ethan Lim]

Just got my interview invite. I Guess they are still sending out. BTW I submitted on the due date and one of my referees submitted a week post submission date.

Sorry. You are right. I got a little carried away with this sharing thing.
