Columbia 2013 Applicants

[melent]

Does anyone have any idea as to when we should expect to hear back post interview? I know they are interviewing all month but am wondering if maybe they'll start offering spots before they finish seeing everyone? Last year it seems that people started hearing back around march 15th.

 

[freakyfreddy]

They told me mid march.

You should hear back 2-3 weeks after your interview.

I'm waiting for a rejection too, but still clinging to a bit of hope! Received a rejection from NYU today, so the silence was confirmed as a bad sign.

Does anyone know if Columbia still has interview calls to make?

I was notified yesterday of my acceptance to the MA in film ftudies program...any other film studies applicants in the building?

 

[pinsandneedles]

Has anyone received a call lately for an interview? Or are interview calls over??

 

[Moira]

Regarding interviews, I have mine on the 12th. But I already set it up on Feb 22. That's all I can say...

@Quian - Are you a CP applicant? I've had mine and it is very individual I believe. Just make sure you know why you want to get into film and it will shine through. i think they are just looking for people who want to get in to it for the right reasons. We discussed random things like a couple of recent films, why I liked them etc, and that is something you can't really prepare for. I didn't get asked anything about my application for example, not my résumé not anything, and I was in there for a good half an hour.

Is anyone willing to share a tiny bit more info on their interviews so far? My only question is do they ask any crazy/specific/offthewall questions?

Thanks!

I had mine too, and though I can say there were not really any "crazy" questions, it is more of a conversation and as such, the questions can get pretty random.

The most random question I had is which movie have I seen recently would I have liked to have produced? But that is a common question.

[melent]

@ColumbiaNYC how were you notified of your acceptance? Did they say/give any indication you were going to be accepted during the interview?

 

[ath579]

I still have an interview on the 18th...

 

[Cobb]

@ath579: Are you a directing or screenwriting applicant? When did you receive the notification for the interview...

 

[ath579]

I put my preference down as screenwriting. Was contacted last Friday.

Oh okay. Just wanted to check if Columbia is still sending out interview notifications. Best of luck for your Interview!

 

[brehco]

Any Screenwriting / Directing people have any comments from their interviews so far? They say anything about when you'll hear back It seems like the Screenwriting / Directing interviews are going to have spanned almost a month by the time they're done, so just curious...

 

[freakyfreddy]

I'm a producing applicant and I haven't heard anything. Honestly I don't think the interview went my way so I am expecting a rejection, which sucks because I got so close!

 

[Gojira Jr.]

How was your interview? Why do you think it was off?
