****Columbia University Class of 2021 Regular Decision Thread****

I still haven’t gotten an interview email. Should I be worried?

@TheGrayOne No. Either you’ll get an email, or you won’t. Not everyone gets interviews because there are simply too many applicants. There’s nothing you can do.

@TheGrayOne My D has also not gotten an email for an interview.

Any bdy thr applying for global.immersion… its an invitation whr fee is waived

I had my interview yesterday with a student. It went great, more than I expected. Wish everyone luck!!

Hi,

I’m an international student applying for some Ivys, including Columbia. I’ve got the opportunity to do an interview with an alumni-student from, among others, Columbia. Is this a good sign or no sign? Does everyone who applies get this opportunity, or only the ones they’re seriously interested in?

@hundyetzy interviews are just given on alumni availability in whatever location you currently live in. It has nothing to do with the candidate itself, so it has nothing to do with whether they are interested in you or not.

Just a bit of a nod to the previous post… I recently received an interview via Skype with a current student (as opposed to in-person with an alumni), so I believe that Columbia may have a different way of selecting who they interview, not tied too much to geography. However, I wouldn’t take it as a negative sign necessarily if you haven’t received an interview

Anybody in India got an interview??

@chipshark I didn’t yet. Did you?

@intellectboy Nope, still waiting.

Me neither

Odd question, but is it possible that a guidance counselor knows you’ve been admitted? It shows up on naviance that a student at our school was admitted, though nobody knows who, and my brother’s teacher, who doesn’t even know me, told him on Friday that he heard I was admitted to an ivy. I applied RD, but had an fee waiver from Columbia Engineering Experience. So weird…

The GC will know the decisions, but roughly at the same time as the applicant, not several months before.

That’s what I thought. Just so weird.

@skieurope Will the guidance counselor know even if our school does not use Naviance? If so, how?

I’m not a GC, so I don’t know the specifics of how they know, they just do.

How many students hav applied to high school programmes in columbia

does anyone know where to upload financial aid documents? i received an email telling me to check my financial aid documents via the tracking website and it says to submit a missing document but it doesn’t say where to submit it?
