@samc24 What are the deadlines of international interviews?
@intellectboy it differs per university. For example, CMU’s last day is Feb 1 or so, but Duke needs them done by the 15th.
Check the website, sometimes they have that info.
How many from india got interview ?
International student from Europe here! Had my Columbia interview yesterday - it went terrible. I don’t typically complain about personalities but this man would not even let me finish my sentences. He took ~3 weeks to reply to my original email because he had ‘forgotten’ about me and once again ‘forgot’ in the middle of our interview that he had a separate appointment. At one point he also tried to explain my own opinion to me - yes, you read that right. Horrible experience, but I came out of it having learned that sometimes you and your interviewer just won’t click no matter what, ha ha. Columbia is an amazing school nonetheless, and I will wait eagerly for admissions results!
Is it strange to not have been offered an interview by Columbia, applying from London, UK? I was offered an interview at all my other choices, 4 of which were in person and 2 over Skype. I was under the impression that everyone is offered an interview if there is someone available in the area - surely there must be alumni in London?
@ammielove I wouldn’t worry, I’m from sururban Minnesota and nobody I know got an interview.
I got an email from Columbia saying that I was being considered for the National Opportunity Program, NOP; I had applied ED but was deferred, but they want another interview with me regarding NOP. Is this good?
Does getting considered for the National Opportunity Program a good thing?
@ammielove You also have to keep in mind that you are likely not the only person who applied to Columbia from London. Alumni are incredibly busy and sometimes they just can’t find enough alumni who are able (and willing) to do it. I wouldn’t worry about it at all. Interviews rarely matter that much.
@c11ngy Sorry to hear about your bad interview experience! Sometimes you just get unlucky I guess. At least you recognize that the interview doesn’t hold that much weight in admission. Good luck!
Do you guys think likely letters are coming out this week? They came out on February 22 last year and February 19 two years ago.
@Whyvermillion, do you know if they were sent via snail mail, or email to check your portal?
In 2014 they came out on 25th feb. So likely ll come this week.
Hey did anyone else receive a likely letter (aka email)? I received one today and was honestly really surprised. How guaranteed is your admission if you receive one?
I received one as well!!! I’m pretty sure it is the biggest hint hint nudge nudge ever!!! I am so Surprised!!!
Congrats!
The wait continues! lmao just accept me
Have all the likely letters come out?
Last year there were more sent out in early March too
When are decisions usually released by, is it really April 1st or do they do it a week or two earlier? I just want to know when to expect my rejection letter.
