Columbia MFE Columbia MFE Application Discussion

darth, Faisal

it has nothing to do with the indian tricolor. it has everything to do with the history and context of the photograph. if you don't know the history behind it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Iwo_Jima. i should imagine that should be enough to explain why the altered photograph is, at best, disrespectful.

"dumb"? seriously? you would also do well to read the link above. think long and hard about it, and please stop projecting.

If you are taking offence with the fact that the Stars and Stripes have been naively replaced by the Tricolor, you are perfectly justified. Specially with the sacrifices of American soldiers involved. My apologies.

I have seen this movie ... Battle of Iwo Jima... But I guess you got it wrong... This icon depicts an Important event during India's struggle for Independence when these people fell to british bullets but did not let the tricolor fall....

Does anyone know when they'll be sending out their admissions decisions this year?

Does anyone know when they'll be sending out their admissions decisions this year?

From the tracker it seems that last year the interviews were conducted from the 8th of February until the 1st of March. I would therefor probably assume that the interview invitations will be sent out beginning the 4th and until the 26th or so?

Anyone who get an email from Columbia?? I am still waiting but I suppose that in a few days we have to get an answer.

me either. I haven't heard from columbia after the submission confirmation. any one knows usually when they will release the final decision?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

The Tracker says admit decisions come out in the second week of Feb so some people should hear from them within a week.

Thanks Andy.
and they dont have interviews before the final decision release, right? since there's no record about interviews on the Tracker.

All admits got interviews. Did you see the interview date column?

Thank you Andy. By the way, I've just receive an email for an interview to Berkeley. They told me: blank paper and pen are the only allowed resources for the interview. Do you know the topics for the interview?? It is going to be my first interview :S

It looks like the deadline for application was Dec 1 last year? Does that mean this year's decision would be out a little later than last year since this year the deadline was Dec 15th. Sorry for being a little over concerned about those subtle issues..so anxious as time goes by though...I heard some ppl got an email from MFE asking for the transcript from last semester..but nothing happened to me yet..

Did you check the Tracker, crispally
While you are there, make sure to add your timelines so we can wait for the result together. It's going to be fun
