david0217 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 For MIT MBAn program: Anyone knows how many applicants out of the interview pool will be accepted? They are trying to fill 60 slots like last year, I think. Just by looking at Skype Interview invitations, there are probability more than 200 people, let alone onsite interviews. Anyone has the number from admissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone has the number from admissions? Hi! Just answering here as our thread is becoming a bit long. So what I’ve heard (and I’ve also benchmarked vs other programs at Sloan) is that the rate accepted to interviewed is 50%. So if you have been invited to interview it means that you have about 50% chances to be accepted. Now this is just a number I got from alumni / benchmarks on forums... So it’s just an estimation.. For the 200 interviews, I think you might be missing the fact that some interviewers are interviewing for other programs as well (MBA, MFin...) / and slots are just possibilities that are not always filled up. So this might be what is driving your numbers up. Again, this is just an estimation and they might have completely changed the process this year...

Thanks!! If I were you, I would choose MIT if I want to focus on job placement and I would choose Stanford if I want to learn from the curriculum in program. If you don't mind, can you share us about your information cause your results are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david0217 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi everyone, I just received a digital interview with Columbia MS in Data Science. Anyone has received it as well? Do they send it to everyone or it means better chance of getting admitted to the program? Thanks! S_Ashleigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulmicoa Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 @carolbells got it, thank you! Do you know if they interview all prospective candidates? And if so, when do the interview invites go out typically? And are they technical interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_Ashleigh Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hello everyone, Accepted: Northwestern MSiA Rejected: University of Washington MSDS Pending: NYU MSDS GA MS Analytics (Online) UIUC MSCS - DS Track (Online) Columbia MSDS - just received request to interview I don't have much time before I have to decide on Northwestern, so I am wondering if interviewing at Columbia is worth doing at all. I wouldn't know my acceptance status until April. Given that I have no other acceptances at the moment, I may have to plead both schools for extensions/early decision or (more likely) I may have to accept NW now rather than risk losing my spot. I suppose this is not a terrible position to be in, considering NW has a strong program! If anyone has thoughts on this feel free to weigh in. FYI for anyone who is interested in Northwestern! There was an interview process in January. They make the first-round of accepted students make their decisions in early March so that they can extend offers to a second-round of students in mid-March.

Bulmicoa Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 @david0217 congratulations! I haven’t heard anything from them yet so I’m sure it’s a great sign that you have! Can I ask when did you submit your completed application by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolbells Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 @Bulmicoa I'm not completely sure about who gets interviewed, but it looks like several others got an interview with Columbia about an hour ago. I haven't received anything myself. ? I read that there's some technical questions but I don't know the details Summer Wang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolbells Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) @S_Ashleigh Congrats on your acceptances! I didn't apply to Northwestern for personal reasons, but its program is quite strong. I would only choose Columbia because of its location in NYC but if that doesn't matter with you, Northwestern's a great program - class size of 40, successful alums, etc. edit: grammar Edited February 25, 2020 by carolbells S_Ashleigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And congratulations on getting accepted by NW MSiA! I actually applied to MSiA on Dec. 1st but haven't received any results or invitation for interview. Can I ask when did you submit your app to NW and did you know when will be the last date for them to interview second round students and is interview necessary to get an acceptance? Thank you!

swcb Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 @whiteshark243 Yeap. I did my interview sometime in mid-Jan I believe and got the results end of January. I applied for early decision. @Scholarship Thanks for the advice! Could I ask you to elaborate a bit more on why you feel MIT is the best place in terms of job placement? I hope to do a data science role at a tech company so that factor is weighing heavily in my decision. Thanks!! Here's my background: Undergrad: Mid-tier US university, 3.99/4.00 in Math and Economics GRE: 169 (Q), 166 (V), 6 (A) Worked for 2 years at an economic consulting firm, one published paper in a computational economics journal on theoretical econometrics, co-authored with a professor I did research for in my undergrad institution. And I did a summer REU at a top econ university in computational economics that helped me a lot in terms of programming experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scholarship Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 @swcb The reason I mention that MIT is best in terms of job placement is 1. supportiveness of department in career developing / 2. alumni network. The first reason may come from nature of each department.. as you know, BA degree belonged to business school (sloan) and Data Science degree belonged to like engineering/statistics/cs normally. If you are not familiar with programming, it would be helpful to learn a lot from the curriculum in the program, but if the main decision factor for you is job placement and you already have competence in programming (In my opinion, programmers learn faster in self-studying than in off-line lecture.. so you don't have to go to computer science department to learn), I would recommend business school. As I heard from the alumni of sloan mba (not mban alum, but still sloan...), career team in sloan is eager to connect students to top companies and also the number of sloan alumni in field is considerable. I'm not sure my sentences are correct cause my mother tongue is not english.. Congratulation for your fantastic result! Good luck in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbored Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Is there anyone here who applied to Northwestern during the regular deadline and also got an invitation to interview? I'm really not liking my chances if an interview is essentially a requirement for getting in haha. Also has anyone heard back from :- GTech Analytics(On-Campus) NYU Data Science Thanks in advance!
