Columbia University - MFA - Fall 2018

My girlfriend and I both got interviews from Columbia just now!

I'm not an optimist by any means, but according to last years spreadsheet it seems there were multiple dates of interview invitations and they were strangely far apart in time. You may want to keep the emotional door ajar for another week or so... just saying.

nope, Columbia notifies their interview selections on one day, so it's 6 pm and I officially lost my hope.

I would not lose hope. I looked through the spreadsheet and it seems that not many applicants changed their status! Check the portal. See if there is an alert there.

 

[ash_ketchum]

because Columbia sent out all their notifications at once and I haven't got any...

good luck to everyone who got their interview notifications!

Oh for directing/screenwriting?

Ok this is my first time posting here! I am also an international applicant for screenwriting/directing, and this is my second time applying as well. I was pretty confident about my materials before, but this time I didn't get any interview notifications at all...

I know last year they sent all interview notifications at once, but if they send them in waves, will they do international students first and then domestic students? Am I out of the game??

Two years ago they did it over 3 days...so sit tight did you get an interview last year?

Nope I didn't :/

I just checked the spreadsheet, it seems several people has already changed their status, and about 40% people got interviews no matter they're domestic or not....ugh
