Based on posts from previous years, MSFE usually send out interviews in early-mid Feb. Does anyone have any updates?

I had my interview on Friday but it seems that they will be sending the majority of interviews in the next week or two. They will have one week for internal discussion after conducting all interviews, and the result will hopefully be out in the week of the 28th or the first week of March.

Received a video interview invitation just now. 7min for preparation and 7min for answering. Not sure what it is. I thought previous years didn't have any video interview.

We have a new program director as of this past fall so things may be slightly different this year than in the past.

Thanks for letting me know this! BTW, do you know will I still need to do a real person interview after I submit this video interview?

Haven’t received any update email from them since submission. What about the rest? Did everyone get a video interview question invite?

Hey, did you get any pre-recorded video question invite as well before your interview?

Does anyone have any idea if the video questions are behavioral or technical? Thanks for any input

I asked them that am I already rejected if I did not receive an interview invitation from them. They replied that they are in the final review process and hope to release the decision within the next week.

So I guess anyone who does not have an interview invitation like me is already rejected...

Recieved an offer. I met around 15 other students who also did. I guess they might have sent out around 60-90 offers (not sure), is it normal in 2021 and 2020? Cuz the estimate seems to be too much comparing to the class size (around 20).

This is a significant increase. Last year, the program admitted less than 30 students.

Yeah. I am wondering if they are increasing the class size or if they actually sent out wrong offers. Or it's normal since the offer acceptance rate isn't high.
