Interview invites start going out mid/early August right?

 

[deleted678432]

I believe so, last year's first batch was invited around end of 1st week of August.

Fingers crossed!!

 

[Endophin]

Good luck to everyone including me! Hehe

Did anyone receive an "application complete" email? Or was the received email the only one they sent?

 

[Wolverine14]

Anyone know when Columbia starts to send out invites?

 

[pma96]

Last year they started Aug 7th, so I would say anytime now.

 

[Ms. Anon]

Did anyone receive an application complete email atleast?

Did anyone receive an application complete email atleast?

All I've gotten was a supplemental fee received email over a month ago. Not sure if I should contact them about the status of my application

 

[Ms. Anon]

I got this email twice.

Yeah I got the same email and I called them today to which they said that you're application is probably complete. The committee is still reviewing everything. If they would've needed anything, an email would've been sent. So I guess they are reviewing?

Yeah I didn't get any email after paying the supplemental.

Has anyone been able to successfully contact columbia admissions? I emailed and called and nothing... and ive heard nothing.

 

[BatedPenguin]

Has anyone even gotten an interview with them so far this year? It seems like they are late.

They're definitely late compared to last year, I spoke with couple D1's currently at Columbia. Projecting early September they say.

Don't even bother, you're either going to get an interview or never hear from them even after you matriculate, that's Columbia.

Seriously? They don't send a rejection email or anything?

 

[Ms. Anon]

When I called them, they told me that the admissions committee has just started reviewing applications.

 

[shibedeleshibe]

Hey guys!! I'm also a D1 at Columbia right now. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I'll try to answer to the best of my ability 🙂

Hi. Do you know by any chance when will they start sending out invitations?

 

[shibedeleshibe]

Not really sure tbh, sorry 🙁. I interviewed the first day last year (9/8 I believe) and received my invitation to interview in early August last year. My best guess is that they should start sending them out in the next 1-2 weeks but I could be wrong.

Lol I am so confused by this... but anyways, is your application on AADSAS “received/under review”?

[deleted903013]

Yes, I got 2 emails in total from Columbia. the last email on July 20th was that Columbia received my supplemental fee. No other email after that.

 

[littleteeth]

Completed 6/20/18 and submitted fee on 7/10.

Is there anyone who has received an acceptance with a 21 AA ?? looool

Yeah someone from 2022 thread who matriculated (not sure which year) had a 21 AA so you're definitely competitive, remember only avg AA is 23!!

This is to notify you that we have received your supplemental application fee of $75. We will be in touch regarding any changes to your application status.

Thank you for your payment.

I got this email on July 17th and this was the very last communication with them.

Did you guys get any application complete email??

 

[andy304]

Got my interview invite today!

 

[serendipity30]

I didn't get this email, should I be concerned? I only got an "Order Confirmation" receipt email from Columbia. Think I'm gonna call the school tomorrow to check.

I got an order confirmation email on July 6th and six days later received a "received application" email.
They sent me another email saying my supplement fee is missing then a day after, got another email saying they received my fee.

I have no idea how their system works but everything is so random..

I got this email and one saying they received my AADSAS application

same here. Then i received another email saying my supp fee is missing and when I reach out I have only been ignored. I am getting frustrated with this school.

 

[shibedeleshibe]

Hey guys, definitely don't worry if you didn't get an interview. This is just the first batch. Columbia extended interviews all the way until January last year so it's still pretty early. Admissions is super busy rn so they don't communicate too quickly.

 

[Aspiringdent22]

I received an interview invite last night. Prior to the e-mail, I had only received e-mails confirming my fee was paid and that my AADSAS was received. In my AADSAS portal, the status was received/under review until last night when it changed.

If anyone else is interviewing on 10/26, let me know!

 

[shibedeleshibe]

Hey guys, I'm going to be meeting w/ interviewees on sept. 21st while you guys tour pre-clinic. Let me know if you're interviewing that day.
