Columbia University RD Class of 2023

I was contacted via email for a state interview day but it’s on the other side of the state and it will be extremely hard for me to get there…the email says that not having an interview won’t hurt my application but I feel like it won’t help either. The email also said that if I don’t attend the interview day, there is a chance I may be given a different interview opportunity. But it’s not guaranteed or anything. Any advice?

Has Columbia sent out likely letters yet?

Hey guys! Just wanted to pop in to say that, when I was applying to Columbia, I was never contacted for an interview, but ended up being accepted. They really don’t rate them too highly, so no worries if you do or don’t have one - you guys will rock this!

what’s the story with likely letters for columbia?

thought i read somewhere they come out this Friday…maybe that was just a dream :confused:

@gobirds20 likely letters should come out next monday according to previous years

@atomsmolecules as in the 25th?

Just got an interview this morning!

@americandreampls no, as in the 18th

Has anyone else had a student interview over the phone/facetime

is anyone getting any kind of emails from Columbia? I’ve been getting so many check-up style emails from NYU, but I haven’t heard from Columbia in a while? I’m sure it’s a bad sign

@alexandra00 my daughter also received a skype interview with a student. The student said she worked in the office and that they were very short alumni available for interviews. She thought it went well and was impressed with the student she talked with. We are in SoCal.

@rrss1919 yes I have, but it’s just about their summer programs. Nothing important

Nope! Zero Emails from Columbia!!

Do they really send unlikely letters as well?

so where are we at with the likely letters? do they even send them out this month?

@rrss1919 I think the first batch comes out today based on what i’ve read on reddit

Based on historical precedence, the first batch of Columbia likely letters are going to be released today at 5 pm EST.

@cbeanz19 do you know how many batches there are? i heard that there’s a second batch in early march but im not sure

@kerlykerls I read somewhere on reddit that there are 3 batches, released each monday until early march
