To anyone who received a scholarship: do you know if it’s for 2 years or 3 years? I forgot to ask!

I can’t imagine the calls are over. It seems like everyone who got in so far were interviewed by Eric and David and Trey and Keola.

As I heard, it covers 2yrs. And if I'm not mistaken, the last year doesn't have tuition so, you need to pay for fees such as medical insurance, and etc.

Have you heard back anything??

Congratulations to all of you that got in! If any of you guys would ever be willing to share your applications- I know this is a lot to ask- I would really love to see the kind of work you all submitted. I worked for months and months on my application and I thought it was really good, but I never even got an interview. It's really hard not knowing what it was about my work that wasn't Columbia material. I don't know what lesson to take away from this experience. It's particularly painful that I live right next to Columbia but won't get to attend.

Have you heard back anything??

I have not. And I'm getting more spam calls than usual today which is upsetting

 

[mcama]

Haven't heard a thing and this was the school I felt best about. Was interviewed by Eric and David.

Is what it is I suppose. Congrats to everyone.

 

[Bergmanbaby]

Guys I really don’t think it’s over. Has anyone else who got in interviewed with someone other than Eric or trey

Well I interviewed with Eric and David which seems those calls went out.

Staying positive

 

[Bergmanbaby]

yes let’s stay positive. I’ve been sick to my stomach all day but I’m previous years he’s called for three or four days

 

[It_movie]

I have a hunch that this will stretch to next week

 

[Mint_Street]

Hey guys, long time lurker, just got the call a few hours ago. Got done crying five seconds ago so letting you all know! I interviewed with Eric and David. I think calls are still going out. Stay positive!

I don't think it's over yet. Did you check how long the spread of acceptances was in last year's thread or before?

And also once again.... Please add your Applications to the database so we can get the most accurate data for posterity.

Also as someone asked above if you're comfortable sharing your portfolio material on those Applications as well that would be awesome.
