Columbia 2012 Applicants

@wrinklyninja - If I recall correctly, last year's thread had some detailed anecdotes on what the interview is like.

Any screenwriting concentrates heard back yet? :/
 
Congrats for the interviews!! :)

I applied for screenwriting, haven't heard back yet. Anyone?

I just took another look at the application. I am not seeing an option to select a concentration (Screenwriting or Directing). The field is blank. Are you positive you selected a concentration?

Nowan - I'm guessing that you filled out the PDF application and did not do the online application?

EDIT:

Ah! Nevermind. I see it now. The drop-down menu does not list a concentration, but when I went to view the application as a PDF I saw my concentration selection picked.

Thanks for looking into it!

I just got a call and e-mail for an interview.
I'm a directing applicant. Best wishes to everyone both waiting to hear back and those who will be interviewing.
 
Oh wow, last year I got my call near the end of February..guess they're doing it earlier this year...looks like today is the day! (Fingers crossed)
 
I got an interview as well, for March 9th.

Since I've got a midterm that day, not to mention I live in Canada..I opted for the Skype interview.

I'm directing, by the way.
 
Hi Seoulless! I applied for screenwriting, I received the call yesterday. But it's still early, I'm sure there are gonna be more calls and emails.
 
I also received an email from Columbia this morning to schedule an interview for March 9th. I'm a screenwriting applicant. I'm in the city so I will be doing an in-person interview. Going to checknlast year's thread (as suggested above) for advice/anecdotes about the interview process... Does anyone know how many they interview for each program?
 
I just received a call as well and my interview is scheduled for the 3rd of March. Will be in New York since I have my NYU interview a day before.

Congratulations to everybody else who got an interview and good luck to all who haven't heard anything yet!
 
congrats guys on your interviews, and good luck!

just wanted to know: is there any creative producer still waiting for an invitation for interview?
