Totally unexpected on both accounts. So to those of you who haven't heard back yet, don't lose hope yet. Results can come at any time. Congrats man!! Did you get the fellowship as well? When would you have the interview with Columbia's IEOR? I actually think, based on the post on Results, that only 2 people in this forum got accepted for the Cornell's ORIE so far... Best of luck on Columbia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveSolder Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 seems like there were a bunch of MIT ORC PhD results today. Did anyone apply and not hear back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have all decisions been made? It would be really bad if they just rejected people (me) outright, on account of lower-than-holy-GPA, and didn't even read the documentation... Also PhD: does anyone know if Berkeley IEOR and Stanford MS&E admit people without interviewing them? Or should I take the absence of an interview invite by now as a rejection?

Tech (unofficial), and most likely waitlisted at Columbia's IEOR (so sad...). Did anyone else apply to Michigan OpRes, Cornell ORIE, GeorgiaTech ISyE and/or Purdue IndEng? Has anyone heard back from any of them? It's my impression that Michigan and Purdue have not been very popular with applicants here this year. Is that really the case? Why so?

Haven't heard back from Berkeley and Stanford yet, but was interviewed a few weeks ago. Also, I highly doubt that MIT rejects on account of GPA. Can't reveal much about myself but I do have a 4.0 GPA from well-known prestigious undergrad as well as quite solid research experience but was still rejected. I guess what really matters is your research fit (and thus my rejection). My previous work was on a slightly different side of OR from what they do at ORC. But whatever, I have other offers and will probably (and hopefully) have a better fit somewhere else. 3 hours ago, -outsider- said: Did anyone else apply to Michigan OpRes, Cornell ORIE, GeorgiaTech ISyE and/or Purdue IndEng?

poopyhead Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 So I guess there's still nothing from UNC INSTORE? Previous years suggest that there are no interviews and they send out notices in March, but the two from January this year are making me nervous.

SP09 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hi All, Has anyone applied to Columbia MS&E and got a response, yet? I see that MFE & MSOR applicants have received interview invites/ admits. But, there is not much information about the MS&E admits. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP09 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 @cocomomo I do hear from current students that they direct MFE rejects to MSOR. But MS&E to MSOR, I read one mention in some forum, but not really sure about it. If I do get more information, I shall post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghjk Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hey everyone, for those of you applying to Columbia's IEOR, keep your hope up! I just had an interview today with a professor, and there was a technical question that came as a surprise:) (Spoiler: drawing randomly x_1, x_2,....x_n from U(0,1), and stop right after you have x_n>x_{n+1} on the nth roll. Find expected number of rolls). Good luck to the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neemu Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I got an admit from Purdue & UIUC for Masters. I'm interested in OR. I am not sure which one to pick.
