    Columbia 2011 Application - Questions

    Hey Guys, Good luck to those of you with interviews! Just out of curiosity, did anyone get invited for interviews despite handing in application materials that were not up to spec? e.g. going over the requested number of pages or not using the proper font or not double spacing? Thanks.

    Congratulations, AdriMtz. When did you get the email from Columbia?

    Hey Suskind. Yup, no interview - no admission. They used to accept people without interviews, but not anymore. :( Maybe we can all camp out in front of the admissions office... until they accept us all. F*** standards! I mean the film industry produces s*** all the time! Well, here's hoping...

    Koquard, you're probably right. :) Either that or Sex and the City 2 (which I also watched, tragically) - but it had Sarah Jessica Parker!

    No second round of interview invitation calls yet. I'm sure they'll be coming soon - haven't lost hope yet. Sure makes me anxious, though. I keep looking in the mail for the rejection letter. Only to find more anxiety... Only way to relieve it is to check the forum. Nope, the anxiety is still...

    Although I haven't been invited to an interview yet, I completely agree with jackgradus (and also with wannabe2) about what being true to yourself means and what an interview may reveal regarding one's merit to earn a place in a class or how it reflects you as an artist. Suzako, I reiterate...

    Thanks, robot_m and Suzako for your input and advice. Much appreciated. Miss comfort, you sound nais, very nais! You win me - you have beaten me.

    Columbia 2011 Application - Questions

    How would multiple or even just two admissions boards orchestrate or collude their decision making? Columbia: Hey, we like Jane. AFI: OK, we like John. Columbia: Want to trade? There are numerous people on the admissions boards and not one person controls the decision making process...

    Anomen1985, don't worry. You sound like a great candidate. I'm very confident that they'll have another round of invitations. And logistically, they can still make their announcements early April even with late March interviews. They'll probably send out the rejection letters first. You just...

    Don't worry, guys. There will be another round of invitations soon. And like I said before, according to what applicants from previous years wrote, some people were offered invitations late in the admissions process. Good luck.

    Columbia 2011 Application - Questions

    I don't think they'll call on the weekend. But it's way too early to give up hope. From what I've read, they offer interview invitations right up until the last minute. So you can get called even towards the end of March. They're most likely just done with the first batch of applications. I...

    Columbia 2011 Application - Questions

    Columbia stopped offering admissions without an interview in the last couple of years. You need an interview to be admitted. But like someone else posted earlier, they're reviewing the applications in multiple batches. You may even be called for an interview late in the admissions process (if...

    I should apologize to all of you for using the term "dickwads" loosely in my last post. I had meant it only towards some special individuals. Witt, witt, witt. I find many things funny. Woody Allen, Will Ferrell, the Farrelly brothers, Bored to Death, and Good ole, Dubya. You - are not funny...

    Columbia 2011 Application - Questions

    Witt, as delicately as I can put it, you're a bumbling insensitive idiot, not only for spouting some sophomoric watered down misunderstanding of the Chaos Theory, absorbed from Jurassic Park, no less, but because you don't even have the balls to apologize for offending someone who's earnestly...

    OK, let's keep things in perspective here. We're all here, each trying to realize our aspirations of being able to do something we truly love and care about as a profession. There's no need to start injecting seeds of mistrust in a forum designed to share experiences and information related to...

    I doubt that Dino's posts are a prank. You can tell by his language, tone, and specific phrases he uses that his excitement and apprehension are genuine. All this speculation of what his interview invitation means for the rest of us is meaningless as a data point of 1 does not indicate any sort...

    Question for Dino. When did you submit your application and when was it completed? Thanks for your input. And good luck on your interview!

    Hey, everyone. It seems like things are moving along and we're all getting closer to having our existential questions answered one way or the other. I'm applying for the directing program. I think I read somewhere that Columbia now no longer accepts applicants without an interview. So, no...

    Hey Guys, I thought it would be interesting to compare our backgrounds and see what kind of people are applying. Mine is: BS Psychology, PhD Neuroscience, Professional experience in IT/Computers. No formal background in film. Wrote my first screenplay for the purposes of applying to Columbia...
