Haven’t heard anything yet. I interviewed 2/19. But I know they were offering interview dates as late at 2/27.

I interviewed with Blair Singer and Sushma.

I know it’s spring break this week at Columbia so I thought they’d want to get all admission stuff done this week— but thinking maybe it’ll be next week.

me! Andy and Valerie. They said it was just a talking, but I remember they were both a little serious.

Omg Valerie was "Serious J. Business" lol!

FWIW: Accepted students day for School of the Arts is March 30th, so if it helps at all to know the absolute latest decisions will come back it should be before then!

I just checked on the forums - earliest Screenwriting and Directing admission of the past 5 years was last year on march 20th, and most times it wasn't until the 24th. Usually all accepted applicants are notified within 2 days.

I was bored at work today so I emailed the Admissions office regarding admission decisions and they said they should be sending out all decisions within the next week or so.

Sorry I said I got the call but it was actually an email to log on to a zoom. Should’ve made that clear!

Congrats! Hoping some more calls are coming out to us all in the next few days

Out of curiosity - how long did they give you to make a decision on enrollment?

I’m sure more calls are going out! Keeping fingers crossed for everyone.

They actually didn’t say but I believe they’ll outline that in the actual acceptance letter which he said to look out for. I heard from current students they had to give a deposit around April 15th.
