Columbia and Sciences Po Dual Degree Program

<p>Hey guys, I wrote to the Admission office and they told me that interviews will be held thrugh mid-March. </p>

<p>Is there anyone who has received a call for an interview yet?</p>

<p>I haven’t heard anything from them too! Mid-march? Wow, just during my mock exams. </p>

<p>Anyway, hopefully they will send notifications soon because it appears that no one in this thread got any news for the interview.</p>

<p>I called again and the woman who answered form General Studies told me that not all students would get interviews, but that it didn’t reflect any further selection. I asked her multiple times just to be sure, but it seems that getting an interview or not getting one does not mean anything concerning their admission decision. </p>

<p>@huongrozsa, did you get any information about this in what you wrote to admissions?</p>

<p>Hi Millie12,</p>

<p>I thought only the shortlisted applicants get the interview call, so if you don’t get one, you pretty much did not make the cut- Is that not the case? based on your call.</p>

<p>Anybody on this thread have received an email/phone call for an interview- Anybody?</p>

<p>jmommy</p>

<p>@jmommy,</p>

<p>That’s what I thought too, but when I asked the woman who answered me on the phone she said that it didn’t didn’t reflect any admissions decision. I haven’t heard back either, anybody else?</p>

<p>Hey guys! :slight_smile: What they exactly told me was that:</p>

<p>“Only applicants who are considered strong candidates for admission will be contacted for an interview. We do not yet have a final date set for when we will be making interview calls, but the interviews themselves will take place through mid-March.” </p>

<p>From this I assume that those who are not invited for an interview will not get in the program. What do you think?</p>

<p>hi Guys</p>

<p>I think you are right, but i am surprised from all the folks that are active on CC on Dual BA- no one has heard so far-Either people who got an interview call are not on CC or columbia really has not sent them out or people are being secretive ;-)</p>

<p>I am hoping its that they just have not sent them out as yet…</p>

<p>who knows
jmommy</p>

<p>My daugther received an e-mail today from Columbia/SP requesting a telephone/skype interview.</p>

<p>nice- we still have not heard anything- Keeping our fingers crossed</p>

<p>Got an email concerning an interview! Crossing my fingers for everyone :)</p>

<p>Got an email regarding interview today too!</p>

<p>Since this programs does not allow applicants to apply to other undergraduate programs, I’m assuming none of you guys are seniors? </p>

<p>I don’t think anyone would be bold enough to put all their eggs in one basket as a senior. :/</p>

<p>So in this case, are you guys all juniors?</p>

<p>Just wondering :)</p>

<p>That’s nice to hear!
I don’t think I would be in the ‘strong candidates’ folder, so I’m not really expecting anything right now. </p>

<p>@Jost: No, I am quite certain we are all seniors. If we are not accepted into this program, we will be considered to both Columbia and Sciences Po individually, by request.</p>

<p>we have not heard anything and still hoping that might- I really thought my credentials were strong- dont know what they are looking for…</p>

<p>Jmommy - who knows…but we all need to remember that they are only looking for 30 students, maximum. If the pool isn’t up to the standard they have created less than the 30 number will be offered slots. </p>

<p>Very, very competitive.</p>

<p>@ BBDark, @millie12 @viramay, and others who got an invitation: first, congratulations to you!! :slight_smile: My question would be: which country are you from? I was wondering whether they send out invitations by countries/regions…</p>

<p>I don’t know what happened- my daughter wanted this so so bad… and felt like she had all the qualifications except does not know french- We are based in the US. I don’t know about the others.</p>

<p>I am hoping they are still not done sending interview request…wishful thinking on my part perhaps…</p>

<p>We are in US.</p>

<p>I’m from the US, hoping the best for all of you</p>

<p>I got an interview request of this program the day before yesterday. Does anyone know something about this interview?</p>
