I don’t think everyone has the same ones, but I had Jack Lechner and Lance Weiler.

Didyou get an email revealing their names prior to your interview? It's weird my confirmation email didn't mention anything..

Probably tomorrow’s the day! I have mine in 2days, and I just got the mail yesterday.
No worries, they’ll sent them.

Haha thanks for the info! This whole application process is getting me nervous over the smallest things ?

Have any Dir/ Scr had their interviews yet? Curious as to how they're carried out...

Also, might anyone know if Columbia has rolling admissions? Seems like they reach out with admission decisions at different dates? Please correct me if I'm wrong... Interviewing next week and I'm stressing out a teeny tiny bit.

Looking forward to hearing about your interview! I have mine in exactly a month... I'd much rather do it sooner than later.

Just finished my interview. I was interviewed by Jack Lechner & Lance Weiler. I was super nervous and I know that my English suffered from it. My recommendation is: be yourself and portray what makes you unique in your answers.

Also, try to make the most out of every question. I felt that my interview could have been very short but I tried to prolongate most of my answers into conversations.

BTW. They had definitely seen my short films and read my writing samples.


Good luck to all of you. The next following weeks will be the longest of my life.

Hi all just did my yesterday! Went well I think. Super friendly faculty, just wanted to understand what drives me, why grad school now, and what I want to use it for in the future. Really, just be you, dress smart casual, and try not to be worried -- I feel like that can hindrance the good rapport. Also, they def had read my samples and statement with care, and watched my video submission. Good luck!
