Columbia x Trinity Dublin Dual BA 2025

Hi! I thought I would start a chain for this program to see if anyone else applied and to keep up with when decisions come out.

Good luck to everyone with interview invitations coming out in a month or so!

Hi there! I applied to the Dual BA for Art History. I’m super nervous already as the program is my first choice.
Good luck to everyone!! :smiley:

Me too! I applied for the film/film & media studies major

Thanks for making this! I am applying to the philosophy major :slight_smile:

I see on Instagram (columbiatcd2025) that some people have been accepted already??? I thought invitations for interviews were not being sent out until early Feb with actual interviews being held in late Feb. Have I got the dates wrong? My son still hasn’t heard anything…

update - I just spoke with the admissions office who confirmed interview invitation letters would be going out mid Feb.

I saw that too! I was guessing that maybe they got in last year and decided to defer for a year because of covid ?? Also, if you want you can send me your instagram and i can add you to a gc for the program!

I applied for MEELC! Does anyone know if certain majors are more competitive? It seemed like there are a few really popular ones (meelc, european studies, neuro)

@cabeachgirl made a gc for the program - If you’d like to talk we could add you :slight_smile: dm me your insta if you’re interested!

Does anyone know if our interview decisions will be in the portal or whether they’ll just email us with it?

I think it is an email invitation!

Got an interview for Neuroscience/Biomed via email. Good luck to everyone!

Hello! I got an interview for the program but I can’t seem to DM bc I just made my account today.

Congrats to everyone who has begun to receive an invitation to interview! I am a current first year in the Dual BA program and thought I would jump on here and offer to answer any questions you might have. I know how helpful it was for me applying last year to have current students I could reach out too. So I thought I would return the favor here :slight_smile:

So at Columbia you can’t double major though you do have the option of doing a concentration. A concentration is what Columbia calls a minor. It is easier in some degrees than others to do a concentration which is why not everyone does them. So for example; if you were doing Film you could have a concentration in screen writing. Due to the nature of the Dual BA though your concentration would need to be related to the degree you are pursuing, so a History major can’t just get a concentration in chemistry.
