GaTech QCF - GATech QCF Fall 2021 Standard Round

Hi All, Reaching out to the candidates of the GATech Fall 2021 QCF program. I applied in the standard round and recieved the interview invite on 12th Jan. Interview was conducted on 19th Jan. I was wondering if anyone has heard from the admissions committee after the interview? Thanks!

I just got my interview invite from GaTech today. I know that it's a behavioral interview. But can any one of you comment on the intensity of the interview?

 

[raptormath]

Did anyone else get an invite?

 

[sasageyo]

[EverythingPOINT]

When did you guys all green tics?

I have had all green ticks in the application checklist for a long time now. Also, don't see any noticeable changes in the checklist page.

Interview invite was via the email.

I wouldn't classify it as intense, but there will be certain questions to asses your personality. Some questions they ask are :
1) Tell me about yourself - Usually followed up with a question based on your current job ,etc.
2) Why GaTech? What made you choose this program (What makes it unique)
3) What do you hope to gain from this program? How will you add value to the class?
4) If I were to ask your current supervisor to describe you in two words, what would they be?
5) How are your time management skills? (I provided examples for this answer)
6) How are your programming skills? (Again, you can provide examples. Theses questions won't be asked if you have a CS background)
7) What do you think about teamwork? (You can answer based on personal experiences)
8) What is the best thing about your work?

It's a very relaxed interview, you just need to express your thoughts cogently. All the best!

@WorkofArt I honestly feel this level of detail is unfair to applicants who already had the interview and didn't know this.

I’m a junior at Georgia Tech and just wanted to wish you all good luck. I can’t tell you how many night’s I sit in the Crosland library or the industrial design building on the main campus at night, look at Scheller tower among the Atlanta skyline and dream about getting into an MFE program like techs

Thanks for your reply. Yes, it doesn't appear to be very intense

Hey, Did anyone who was interviews in Jan 2nd week received a decision?

 

[Kev-X]

I know people who have interviews scheduled for next week, so I don't think so. I think they are usually released sometime in mid-March.

 

[sasageyo]

Looking at last year’s tracker, it looks like GATech sends out decisions a few days before the round 2 submission deadline.

Then I guess it's not a reject for me till now.
