Dual BA Program: Trinity College Dublin and Columbia University, Fall 2018

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia School of General Studies

Anyone else interested in this new program? I’m wondering how selective this is compared to Columbia’s more established Sciences Po exchange. I was previously interested in applying to Columbia College, but if this program has a higher admit rate, then count me in!

Any information from current Dual BA students or fellow interested applicants welcome!

Hey, I’m interested too! But I’m from Ireland. I recently attended a talk about the Dual BA (it was actually my first time hearing about it) and I got the impression that, as it’s the first year, they’re still not 100% sure how to go about it, which is good news for us! I would imagine this programme would be less selective than applying directing to Columbia University. It’s definitely worth a shot.

I received something in the mail yesterday and am interested in looking into it more. It seems the deadline is Feb 1, 2018

Has anyone else applied to this program?

5

Do check into the financial conditions. Of you need financial aid, will you be covered all four years?

6

Yes I applied… Have not heard about Interview yet. Has anyone else heard?

7

I haven’t heard anything. Is there any other place on the web that has info?

8

I haven’t heard either. I e-mailed them couple of days ago, they didn’t reply.

Yup, nothing on the interview.

Based on the Dual BA w/Sciences Po’s response time, which was around 1.5 months, I guess early to mid march is a good time to estimate for the interview offers/rejects to come out? It would be tight though, as the results would come out not too long after the interviews.

I got an interview

12

@H2F41 when did you hear about your interview?

13

@HRS1851 I have not been invited to an interview yet-have you?

14

I heard about it on Saturday - and the only available slots were this coming week

15

How many slots were there?

16

so it seems they are sending the emails out almost daily… I hvae heard of people getting notifications on 2/21, 2/22, 2/23 and2/24…

17

yeah idk I thought it was weird that interviews are only this week - I wonder how many they are giving?
