<p>general thread, decisions etc.</p>
<p>JUST got out of my Columbia ED interview a few hours ago! Ugghh sooo anxious.</p>
<p>JackB427 when did you submit your app??</p>
<p>I submitted my app at night on 10/26 and got a call for an interview on 11/4. Just had my interview today!</p>
<p>how did it go??</p>
<p>I submitted mine on the 18th and had my interview last Friday. I was so nervous lol my teeth were chattering~!</p>
<p>I have an interview next week!!!</p>
<p>btw, how important are the interviews?</p>
<p>They’re less important than most parts of your application but can serve as a tie breaker. I’d say they’re more important for gauging regular decision applicants interest/commitment to Columbia than for EDers.</p>
<p>Hi,
Do you have to request interview? I have submitted my app on 10/23 (ED for Engineering), I haven’t gotten any response about interview? Does everyone applied ED gets interview or is there some selection there too?
Thanks</p>
<p>@arcfromconn I think the website expressly says NOT to ask for interviews. I submitted at night 10/30 and never got a call…I’m worried.</p>
<p>Will a Columbia alum contact you?</p>

<p>My friend didn’t get a call for 2 weeks. Don’t worry if you haven’t yet. I haven’t either.</p>

<p>You can’t request an interview. All you do is submit your application, and your info will automatically be send to the alumni association. They will contact you, and you will be offered the opportunity for an interview. TAKE IT!!!</p>
<p>My interview is the day after Thanksgiving. I’m excited, since my interviewer is a recent grad. I was contacted my interviewer only a week after I sent in my app though, it was very fast.</p>
<p>just got interview what kinda stuff will they ask u think</p>
<p>I had my interview yesterday! I had a really nice alumni who has a daughter who goes to Columbia now. I actually had a few unusual questions that were asked based on my answers, but the basic questions were “Why did you choose Columbia?” and “What are your interests?”</p>
<p>Lol. My interviewer asked me some weird Q’s.</p>
