So I applied RD to the Fu SEAS on the 1/1 deadline, and I haven’t received any info about an interview since then. Is anyone else in a similar situation? Is it still possible for me to get interviewed, and should I contact Columbia about this? If I don’t ever receive an interview offer, how would that affect my chances of admission into Fu? Thanks!
yes, many.
Still possible
Don’t call Columbia – if it will happen, you’ll be contacted. Columbia admissions doesn’t assign interviewers.
No.
A lot of my friends haven’t been contacted about an interview yet. Don’t worry about it. They’re randomly assigned and I do not think that they’re selective at all
Legacy applicants get first priority for interviews (was told this by an admissions officer). There are never enough alumni volunteers to interview everyone and probably not enough to interview half. If you are not contacted then don’t worry about it. Columbia knows what they want and need without an interview. Lots of people get in without interviews including my S2.
