Columbia Class of 2020 RD Thread

It’s in one week… I’m not ready :confused:

I got contacted for an interview on Saturday morning and was interviewed by an alumnus on Sunday - is that not quite late to have an interview? Any ideas on why I was contacted so late on for an interview?

Nope, no clue. I live in NYC and like others have never been contacted by an interview even though Columbia is so nearby.

You’re probably a borderline applicant and they want one last look at you to make their decision. Which is probably good bc they want you and want to know you on a more personal level which is a probable reason for why they contacted you so late.

damnnnn now I’m really nervous. My interview didn’t go terribly, but it didn’t go perfect either. The interviewer said that he’d write a very favourable report but I feel like that was just to put me at ease haha…being an international who’s asking for financial aid won’t help me either - thanks!

@IfnousWHO @hoggy247 - I didn’t get that (LL recipient). Odd.

So is it a bad sign to get this email?

My financial aid tracker disappeared. Was today the day it was supposed to do that?

no, it’s just an email reminding applicants of the date results come out - why would they send an email like that as a bad sign, y’know?

mine hasnt disappeared, but i cant figure out how to do anything but login and change my security questions/password

And if you haven’t gotten the email yet, it is likely that you will still get it within the next 24-48 hours. So don’t worry too much about it.

@XoXdreamerXoX I believe today was the day for everything to disappear, so to speak…something like Feb 8th to March 23rd was the time we could check to make sure everything was in. When I checked both the FA tracker and the app tracker, both checklists were gone, though you can obviously still log in/verify address, etc.

@Nebclarke which saturday and which sunday? It would be useful if you provided the date of the contact and interview and your state of residence.

@nstasi what is ND?

@Desiree2 ND is short for Notre Dame, a Catholic university in South Bend, Indiana.

Hey guys :smiley:

did anybody else who got a likely letter get a copy of the book “musicophilia” sent to them in the mail from columbia? it seems kind of out of the blue but i’m certainly not complaining lol

MUSICOPHILIA IS HONESTLY ONE OF THE GREATEST BOOKS THAT HAS EVER BEEN CREATED
OLIVER SACKS IS THE BEST HUMAN BEING

@schroscat lmao i just came home and there was a pretty big package from columbia sitting on the table. i’m still not sure why they sent it but it’s pretty cool lol
