Columbia 2013 Applicants

[ark]

They have more to schedule. As I was also told, there are more slots available, and hence more calls to go out.

To answer you, as to why haven't they called already, see, the applications are sent to various faculty members, and they have students to assist them. The notifications are to be sent out by these students. So there are two variable at work here: the professor who takes her/his own time in coming up with a short-list, and the student who may delay sending out the email. I doubt that any student would delay sending out the mail, so it got to be the professor who is taking time in compiling a short-list.

Does anyone know when they typically send decisions?

I got accepted on the 21st of March. Had my interview March 3rd.

@Prime (Tim)e - congratulations! how does it feel?
what kind of questions did they ask? Im flying in for my interview on friday, kinda nervous cause my english is pretty rusty...

 

[Prime(Tim)e]

@ColumbiaNYC thanks!

@kincaid Thanks! It felt pretty good man. Just happy to get it over and done with! The one thing I will say to you is just relax. The reason you have been invited is because your overall application was really good. I would say they are more serious than other interviews I've had but it is nothing that you can't handle. It really is more of a conversation than anything else. They will ask you questions about your application and your interest in film, pretty much what you probably were expecting. Good Luck!!

Btw I just got my acceptance to USC so I am really hoping I get into to Columbia so I have a real decision to make.

And also just to let everyone know, they told me the decision this year will come around Mid March!

ColumbiaNYC, did you travel from the future?

 

[ColumbiaNYC]

Yes. Your kids are gonna love it.

 

[Sara Suri]

No more interviews, right?

 

[matildabrown]

I've given up hope guys.

If it's any consolation, Werner Herzog considers the whole concept of film school to be perverse. Quentin just won another Oscar for screenwriting and quit school at 15.

Hi guys, I've been following this forum for a while. I think it's about time I contribute. I have an interview tomorrow for creative producing. I put my first two choices as March 4th so I wouldn't have to wait too long after the interview for their decision but oh well just have to go tomorrow and wait. Does anyone know when they typically send decisions?

Hey,

I have an earlier post where I said how it went. Just to reiterate it really was more of a conversation than anything. Don't over think things, you obviously got to this point for a reason. To be honest I think the questions are different for everyone. Like they asked me about a job on my resume and it had nothing to do with film. So as long as the person you portrayed in you application I think you will be fine.

I got it, thanks too much, wish you have a good news!!

Good luck! I interviewed yesterday too and felt that it went well. I agreed with Prime(Tim)e. It was really a conversation than anything. I have a lot more experience in feature development and the questions were very specific to how will the program achieve my goals...plus many others ad hoc questions.

 

[Qian]

Hi,you're so nice, how long did you talk? Is it 20 minutes? I hope we are both accepted and meet in columbia! ahahaha...

@Death, been having a hard week, thanks for making me lol, literally!

 

[DeathDealer]

Yea, I think we all need something to relax for a little bit. It's going to be one heck of a stressful next month!

 

[dusty_rose]

So true

 

[Prime(Tim)e]

For anyone who really wants to go to film school badly I think LIU's program is really cool and worth a look. Not to mention much cheaper than the big schools. It's rolling admission. I applied and have been accepted. The app is nowhere near as stringent as the program is only 4 years old. Checkout their websites:
