<p>Just got contacted for an interview today! Does anyone know what percentage of Columbia ED applicants get deferred? I can’t seem to find this information anywhere</p>
<p>Does everyone gets interview or only selected people (screened applicants who might have better credentials)? Does anyone know?
Thanks</p>
<p>anyone gets interview its done on availability, so the website says. if u dont get one it will not be a disadvantage they will just look at recommendations more to gauge personality</p>
<p>The defer rate last year was 696 out of the 3,229 who people applied to Columbia’s early decision program, with 632 accepted. So an acceptance rate of 19.57% and a deferral rate of 21.55%.</p>
<p>In regards to interviews - I might have to reschedule mine (slotted for next Monday) because my school wants me to host a school-wide Physics tutorial for high school and, good grief why, some College students after school. And I don’t know if it’ll be done by the 4PM interview time 'cause a lot of people do not understand Physics and are requesting if I can have “one on one” conferences. Hopefully this won’t reflect badly upon me, since it wasn’t exactly my decision.</p>
<p>Got contacted for an interview last night! It’s slotted for next Saturday. </p>
<p>Any other ED’ers from Toronto that got an interview yet?</p>
<p>Were you contacted by email?</p>
<p>Is it likely for an international applicant to get an interview?</p>
<p>^^ @glido Yes I was contacted by email. I thought I wasn’t getting an interview since it was nearly a month since I submitted my application. </p>
<p>^ @905416 I think it depends on where you live–urban areas are more likely to have Columbia alums, like Toronto.</p>
<p>Well I live pretty far away from Toronto so chances are pretty slim I guess… like I’m a few minutes walking from farms and cows.</p>
<p>Waiting anxiously for my SAT II scores because I took them in November. A bit dumb of me, really, to procrastinate on them but hopefully they’re good enough for Columbia because I applied ED!</p>
<p>Mathii 800 physics 640 - how much will this hurt me… I ED’d fu.</p>
<p>not a lot cos the 800 is strong, the 640 is the probably in a very low percentile for people admitted. people who are admitted with a 640 or something similar it is because they show promise in other areas i.e. maths in maths2. but sat ii scores are not a huge factor.</p>
<p>Thank you!!</p>
