Someone mentioned he/she got in without an interview. Is that right?

No, they corrected themselves after. They had an interview.

Oh well, I don't know why but I'm pretty confident in my material though! I believe I submitted a strong application. I also believe that I'm the only applicant from Morocco who applied to an MFA in Film at Columbia, as I'm currently finishing an undergraduate degree in Communication Studies in a university that uses English as the language of instruction. My English proficiency requirement was waived. I'm just sad I didn't get an interview invite and, thus, I have to accept that I got rejected. I can't believe this

I know it can be so disheartening. I only applied to NYU last year and I didn't get an interview and was pretty down about it. I tried again this year and while NYU was still unsuccessful (guessing it's not a good fit!!) I managed to get an interview at Columbia and accepted at some other related programs. It can be so hard but continue to believe in your work and application and keep trying

Wondering if I should throw in the towel cause I never got the call today. I felt pretty good about my application materials / portfolio but maybe the interview meant more than I had realized. I'm feeling really defeated ugh.

 

[Bergmanbaby]

Absolutely do not do that! They admit people over a span of 2-3 days. There's still tomorrow and most likely some of Friday too

Don't lose hope!

So Eric is the only one doing the calls? Has anyone received a call/email from other interviewers so far?

 

[bismastani]

I’m holding out hope for tomorrow and Friday.

I feel the same. And I’m disappointed by how someone just randomly jumped into saying they got in without an interview. We understand that you’re excited but please read what you’re replying to carefully. A lot of us felt a spark of hope for nothing.

Same here!! Another sleepless night!

 

[Bergmanbaby]

I just checked the thread from last year and the calls went out over 4 days. I know it's nerve-wracking but it isn't close to over yet

 

[Bel225]

ready for another day of refreshing, refreshing, refreshing!

Oh did they say that was a mistake? I missed that reply.

I feel you, I can't stop checking my email.

 

[JJGitties]

Congrats to those who got the call and I hope everyone here gets in.
To those of us who didn't receive an offer, think like this: it may be the best thing that will ever happen to us.
I have been thinking and wondering whether it is worth all that money!
I will be happy to receive an email but will not be unhappy if I didn't. So live freely and hope for the best.

Quick Question: Did anyone’s portal still have the message update “Congratulations, you've been selected for an interview" after you selected your interview? The message vanished after I selected my date so I’m wondering if I’m the only one. It seems for CP folks, the message was still up until very recently.

Mine was gone after I had my interview. It's totally normal.
