Yeah it was a reminder to make sure it’s in before Friday

42

But idk if that means we would find out maybe sometime next week?

43

i’m not going to get my hopes up for next week just because they likely still have to create financial packages for each of the students which could take a couple of days, i think it’s more likely that it’ll be the week of the 26th

44

Yeah your probably right, it’s just nervewracking - hoping for the best for everyone :slight_smile:

45

what kind of questions did the trinity rep ask???

46

Heyy, for the interview did you prepare what you are going to say in advance, or should we be spontaneous?

47

Also, if we applied to language programme, do they ask ask to speak the language?

48

I didn’t prepare much at all honestly it was a few weeks ago so I don’t remember but mostly just normal interview questions - I didn’t know they were still doing interviews! When did u get a request?

49

I didn’t apply to the language program so idk :confused:

Heyy, I got invitation in 23rd of February. The interviews at Dublin are a week or two later than the interviews at New York. The interviews in Dublin will continue until this Friday.

51

do you think if we got an interview there’s a good chance of being accepted?

52

I am hoping so

53

When the sciences po- columbia dual ba program was first launched, they invited 140 students to interview and accepted 110. Right now, same program accepts 65% of those who are invited to interview. I think our chances are greater than 65% since its a newly launched program. Best of luck to all of us, and fingers are crossed

54

Did you send all test scores, or only your best scores?

55

I sent my best and worst score in order for them to see the improvement

56

ok

57

i’m interviewing tomorrow so fingers crossed. if the dublin interviews are tomorrow, does that mean the panel won’t include a columbia rep?? cause im certain that I’ll interview much better with the columbia rep

58

There will definitely be a Columbia rep. Good luck!!

59

thanks!
