questions about alumni interview- can anyone help plz?

<p>Hi, can anyone tell me whether Alumni interviewers would be able to view my supplement submitted? </p>

<p>Would they ask you to explain more about your favorite books?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>^ I don’t think so. In general, all the Alumni interviewer knows about you is your personal info & intended major. Though sometimes the interviewer may know the gist of your stats( in case it is a an admissions interview & not an alumni interview)!! :)</p>

<p>hi, rishav17</p>

<p>thx a lot for your reply. ya. hopefully they wont ask those book related qns .lol</p>

<p>“Would they ask you to explain more about your favorite books?” You’re wrongly assuming they know what you wrote on the application. They don’t know that. </p>

<p>However, one could easily say"What are your favorite books" and ask you to explain. But NO, they wouldn’t refer to your supplied list to Columbia</p>

<p>Hi, T26E4 thanks . very helpful</p>

<p>If they’re talking about your favorite books, why wouldn’t you wanna talk about them?</p>

<p>Just a quick question regarding alumni interviews: how long does it normally take for a regular decision applicant to be contacted by an alumnus? (Yes, I am aware of the fact that not all applicants can be accommodated, but I hope that I am one who will be lucky enough to have an interview.)</p>

<p>The window is now until end of Feb. when reports are due. Since it’s decentralized, there is no standard.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for the information, T26E4.</p>
