Does anyone know how many people get accepted for interviews, and approximately how many are rejected after interviews? (like I know for oxford ~50% get interviews and then ~10% of interviewees/5% total are accepted)
I just got my email and I got an interview! I can’t believe it, I am so excited! Also incredibly nervous 
Good luck all!
Me too!! I’m shocked! Good luck everyone 
I received an interview request as well… I’m pretty stoked about it! 
I got an offer for an interview today as well!
Haven’t gotten anything… Hm… 
would you rather have your interview on campus or skype?
Mid-year reports are neither required nor recommended, but they will be accepted if sent in. However bear in mind that by the time such reports are available, the admissions committee has typically already made interview decisions.
Best,

@GSTourGuides Hi Laetitia, I was wondering if those who didn’t get an email are rejected. do you know if the emails in the previous years came at the same time for everyone?
Thanks,
Josue Prieto
Does anyone that applied to Menton know if they got an interview or not?
I haven’t received any email, and I applied to Menton, @josueprieto
All applicants will be notified of their admission decision. Currently, the admissions office is still in the process of notifying candidates.

Hi guys, I am a current hopeful for Le Havre. What time did you guys receive the email?
I was told the decisions would be out by the 13th Feb.
Also, is there a particular order according to which the interview requests come out? Is it according to when you submitted your application?
hey Greymoth7838
I didn’t get an email either 
! i applied for Reims and sent my application on December 22th
Well… since I was so eager to find out… I went into the Columbia Webpage and found out I was rejected. Currently heartbroken. just go where you submitted the first part of your application
I didn’t get in either… so disappointed !
I was also rejected. I thought my essays for this program were really good, maybe other parts of my application were weaker, who knows. Anyways, congratulations to those who got an interview, this really is a great opportunity.
Reposting this from the thread we had last year - Congrats to those who got an interview! To those who didn’t, best of luck on all your other applications and keep your hopes up! It’s also interesting that they told you about the rejection this early - that didn’t happen last year.
Regarding the interview, relax and enjoy yourself. It’s a really chill procedure and it’s basically a way for the admissions committee to see who they have admitted and to make sure you really don’t have any problems (so if somehow you speak 0 english or you’re a complete jerk or something really extreme). As long as you be honest, sincere, polite, and kind, you should be fine!
Some tips for the interview:
Dress professionally, it’ll help you a LOT as the French are very into presenting yourself nicely (plus it’s always good to show that you care about the interview). Basically a suit with or without the jacket for guys and a dress with a cardigan or something formal that you wouldn’t just wear on a normal school day (or to an informal school dance if you catch my drift).
Do your research on BOTH Sciences Po Paris and Columbia. The most important question that you should be able to respond to is why you want to be in a dual BA program because they don’t want to think that you’re just applying to get into Columbia. Make sure you research your campus, especially a few activities, and look up some information about Columbia (although honestly I told them I didn’t do any research on Columbia yet because I was focused on getting past the first two years, and they still admitted me haha).
Review your essays. Trust me they’ll go through your essays meticulously and most of your questions will come from there - I know for a fact that the majority of my interview was spent on my personal essay about the golden road. They want to know that you didn’t lie in your essays basically.
And finally, be yourself. Just show that you’re really the person they admitted on paper and that they can link an application to a great person!
If you follow these tips, you should be fine and I cannot wait to see you all in France this coming fall! If you have any other questions, send me a message or tag me in a post here, and I’ll be happy to help answer as well!
I have not received an email yet notifying me of my application decision…has anyone not received any info yet? I applied to Menton.
@sickofapps Thanks I really appreciate the advice! But how big of a role does the interview play in the admissions process, do you think?
