Columbia 2014 Applicants (1 Viewer)

Hey guys,

I've been trolling the forums for a while now, I think this is my first post. Just got an interview e-mail from Columbia I applied for directing. I'm a US applicant, NY based. Literally received the e-mail like an hour ago!

Best of luck to everyone!

Congratulations!!! When is your interview scheduled?
 
Hey everyone,

I got an email on tuesday for an interview with Eric and Dan on March 17th (Writing/Directing). I'm American but I'm currently 'studying' filmmaking abroad, so I'll be flying to New York just for the interview as I know I will most definitely f... the Skype interview up. Plane tickets aren't cheap but most of my Skype conversations are made of endless awkward blanks and "sorry I didn't get that can you repeat?".

Good luck to all!

@cadencotard Congrats!
 
Thanks! At first I was under the impression that getting an interview was a bad sign because it meant that they weren't sure about you so I really had no idea how I was supposed to feel when I got the email.
No, it's a good sign. Most students get admission after interview.
 
They are 100% positive going out. Just got my invitation today.
Do you know if they are flexible with changing the date?
It is super far away from my interview in NYU and I can't afford a double trip!

Whoever emailed me seemed to be very accommodating. I think they'd be willing to work with you.
 
Does anyone know if once they have reviewed your application your status changes from: "submitted?"
I feel you! Had the exact same doubt. But no worries, they might have. They don't really change such status. You might want to check that it says it is complete though, but for the rest, it is all good.
 
Got my email for the interview last night! Director/screenwriter applicant in frozen Georgia! Crazy as I received the email at like 9pm! March 5th at 3pm! Congrats to everyone else!!

    No better place to become a pro
    If you want to be a pro, there is no better entryway into the industry. If you want to be an artist, maybe not the best school for that. USC is...
