Columbia RD Interview

Has anyone who applied for RD gotten an interview yet? Im getting kind of nervous since I really want one and I know its supposedly random but I feel like to some extent its not truly random.

I haven’t been contacted for an interview yet and I applied a few days before the deadline. However, I do live in a smaller town so that might be why

Applied a few days before the RD deadline, just finished my skype interview with a current student.

Applied a few days before the deadline and I have one tomorrow

Applied on the day of deadline (lol) and I have one tomorrow!

Hello pl let know what are the questions asked in interview

If it helps, I was just contacted today and scheduled my interview for later this week.

Any body from india here who got interview

Based on the conversations I have had with DS, who graduated last May and has done and is doing interviews for Columbia (some in person, some via Skype), I got the impression that he is less impressed with the candidates who clearly are trying to give him an answer they think he wants to hear, one they have prepared. There are simply too many of them - kids who may have top grades only because they are following the established path. The more natural a candidate is, the more comfortable they can get, the better they do.

Don’t sweat the interview.
