Hey, I was wondering if anyone who has applied to Columbia ED like me has gotten an interview request yet?
Hey, i have mine next saturday
hi, I’ve just got the interview email
I had my interview 11/10 where I am
May I ask when did you submit your application?
I applied on 10/30
Thank you! I guess I am not getting an interview then? I submitted on 11/01 and haven’t received a notice yet
@Resurgam It’s literally based on alumni availability-----not on the strength of your application. You might just live in a region that doesn’t have a lot of Columbia alumni WILLING TO INTERVIEW (them just being an alumni doesn’t mean everyone does interview lol.)
I have mine today and I am super excited. Wish me luck!
did anyone from california get an interview email?
@567butterfly324 Again, based on alumni interviewers’ availability. The interviewer assignments can be somewhat random, so both you and your friend, for example, could be interviewed by different people despite attending the same school.
yea gotchu! ty! but i was just wondering if anyone from california had gotten an interview, i haven’t heard anything so i was curious. is there a last day to get an interview and is it a good sign?
@reginathepink
where are you from?
@567butterfly324 I didn’t get an interview last year, but at the other schools that I interviewed at, RD interviews ranged from mid-December (Penn, WashU) to late January/early February (Cornell.) Similarly, most schools have a set deadline in late November/early December for ED applicants to be contacted, so you could be contacted anytime till then.
@PikachuRocks15
ok gotchu tysm, i submitted my app a couple days before and i saw people here being contacted even though they submitted on the actual day so i was a bit worried
@567butterfly324 Their assigned interviewers might just spread out their interviewers more. Some schools do interview days where they’ll interview multiple people (seperately in different time slots) on the same day to get them over with.
hi i have received an interview email from columbia. Deleted is my interviewer but i didn’t find anything about him on the internet so is it gonna badly affect my interview?
@Kenzoo where are you from?
@skieurope Can you remove @KENZO 's interviewer’s name?
Done.
Oh, and as an interviewer myself, don’t cyberstalk your interviewer; it’s creepy. I don’t search for my interviewees social media. Nothing will turn me off mire than a kid who says, I see in your profile on Linkedin… Let the conversation happen organically. And don’t send me a friend request. ?
