Lol... that is probably a glitch. Man, we are all so tense and looking out for every small thing. Even if one word changes in the application website, we'll be super tense. I know just how everyone feels. Wish we were all in the same vicinity or community, would've been fun to discuss these...
by the way, @granados_1111 they told me at the interview that international students make up around 50% of a class. So that's something that is positive for us
Umm... I've been doing the math for quite sometime now... lol. Well.... as far as I know they accept around 48 students. So my guess is (and its only a guess), they interview somewhere between 72 and 96 students.
Basing this on one thing only... the number of days interviews were held. first day...
Hey All!
Had my interview a couple of days back (Skype), and let me tell you that I was nervous as hell on the days leading up to the interview. I tried to prepare myself, went over the questions posted in this forum, came up with my own questions, and prepared myself to get grilled :confused...
Thank you @WriterGirl that was very helpful. I have mine coming up in about 10days. Hope you get in.
By the way, i think in the they are interviewing the writers now in SCR/DIR dept. Directors would start from next week if I'm not mistaken. Then again, it could only be the writers posting here :/
Tough luck @katavi08. But i guess these things do have a plus side. Bit of an anti-climax though, cause you have been waiting for it for so long. Guess, things aren't always perfect at filmschools. :p
Best of luck @tutenkhamen .
ok. So I decided to do a little math. When Columbia first e-mailed me with the probable interview dates, there were 6 available dates, with 6 possible slots for each day. So that's 36 applicants. Then there were a few others who got different dates for interview as well.
How many people do you...
@Paul J. Well... Tisch takes in 24, USC also takes something close to that. Some other schools take in around 30. Just a general observation, you are welcome to look it up if you want. :)
Any idea on how many students are interviewed at Columbia? They are going to take 48 students which is a lot more than other schools. So, my guess is around 70-72 students are selected for an interview initially. Just trying to figure out the odds.
@katavi08 Oh... are you sure? I've always gotten the feeling that maybe they have some sort of ranking system, and that's how they send out notifications and interview dates. I'm probably wrong though. Would like to know what process they follow.
Hi,
I am an international applicant and I got the interview notification for Columbia (SCR/DIR). Obviously its not going to be possible for me to attend in person. The available dates that I got was in March 12th-18th (except 15). Then I read here that some people got a different date for an...
