Columbia 2021 MFA Screenwriting/Directing Applicants (6 Viewers)

Are the interview requests coming directly from professors or from a generic admissions e-mail?
Congrats to those who already got one!
It came from a generic admissions e-mail, asking to go to the Columbia portal and schedule an interview!

Good luck everyone, hoping that we can all get a request!

did all the columbia interview requests go out all at once in past years?? i'm thinking since it's an automated email as opposed to individual professors reaching out that they wouldn't be that spread out, so i'm losing hope since i haven't gotten one :(
 
Are interviews required for admission at Columbia? The website only says that an interview may be requested

Just looked at last year's thread and, apparently, judging by the day people posted, the requests are not all sent in one day!

Don't lose hope!!!!!
 
I didn’t get an interview request yet but I did notice my application status got updates (one late letter of recommendation is confirmed not to have been received, so a grey tick to a Red Cross). I’m sure they’re going through the applications as we speak
