iWonder Thank you so much! I'll have to hold on to that boost of positivity for the actual interview

hellogoodbye Thanks! Definitely keep checking your inbox and spam folder. I'll have my fingers crossed that you get some good news! Can I ask where you're applying from?

Hi A Favorable Wind, you mean region wise? I'm in the East Coast.

 

[A Favorable Wind]

Ditto! I'm actually just across from Manhattan in New Jersey. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and send some good vibes toward the island for ya!

I put in for the director track here and at AFI. Was waitlisted for AFI last year. So...still pulling for AFI but Columbia is a good one to have admission to as well if AFI decides to pass on me again.

I requested February 24th. No answer yet on a confirmation. Has me worried that they sent me an invite by mistake!

They can't send an interview invite by mistake...just give them a call. So you get to choose your interview date yourself? How does that work

 

[A Favorable Wind]

No, you're right. Those were my nerves showing!

It's pretty simple thus far. My liaison offered me four possible days on which to interview and I chose it. Two days later and voila -- my interview is all firmed up! Now to figure out what to wear... what to bring... what to say!? Yep, there're those nerves again...

I also applied to Columbia for directing...hopefully we will all hear something soon!

Relax it will be fine! goodluck!

A Favorable Wind, have you applied to columbia before? If so, did they give you any advice last go around? Or did they give any feed back?

 

[Amina]

Guys, I just logged into my application account and it says that my application has been reviewed. Check yours for any incomplete material etc. We have to somehow make sense of what received and official means by reading the column on the right...and by that definition all my material has been reviewed and they have received all transcripts, toefl scores etc. Now I'm getting really nervous!!!

International film directing applicant from the US here. I received an interview invitation today by email. They scheduled my appointment and gave me the names of two interviewers.
Now I am wondering about the questions and funding issues. Do you know what are their questions? Did they waive the tuition in last years?

Fightclub it looks as if you are the first directing applicant to receive notice from Columbia (that's posted anyways). Congrats!!!!!! I think the answers to your questions will slowly trickle in. Where are you applying from?

 

[Amina]

So..hypothetical situation. If you guys get in Columbia and NYU both...what would you choose?
