I'm confused. does II mean secondaries? I got mine a month ago.
No. Interview invites are after you fill the secondary app and they look over all your info.

Oh, okay! That clears a lot up. Do you find the dorms and student apartments to be comfortable? I think I read somewhere that they were subsidized too...Hey there, not sure exactly what you're asking, but just generally-
The most common option is to live in the dorm for 1st year and then we get to apply for student apartments 2nd year. That way you can avoid the whole new York house hunting and commuting thing (plenty of people do decide to do that though!)
AAAHHH it's two I's. gotcha.
has anyone received an "application complete" email? All my boxes are checked on the status tab but I haven't gotten an email (submitted secondary about 10 days ago)
I just submitted today and received a complete email immediately. Maybe check to see if you got it the same time as the submission confirmation email?
never got a complete email either.
under communications, does it list a 3rd email? I just have secondary invite + submission.. and all my other app materials are already in (and marked as received)
Yep, I've got a 3rd "complete" email listed literally 1 second after the submission one.
Thinking of applying with a 34 MCAT and mid-3.7s cGPA and sGPA. Worth it, or do I fall under the cut?
Dr.TobiasFünke;14335585 said:Certainly worth applying. Some of my classmates, including myself were accepted with a similar profile. That said, as important as those numbers are, Columbia really looks at the whole picture and your passion both for being a doc and for Columbia. Good luck!

Thank you so much!
Haha yep took me a while to figure that one out as well. I still say "two" in my head when I see it even though I know it means interview invite 🙂
Hi guys! I'm an M1 just starting at P&S (first day of classes tomorrow!) and would be glad to help anyone out with any questions about the application process. A little about me - NYS resident, 3.5 GPA 35 MCAT, Ivy League undergrad, and I live off campus with my boyfriend and my dog. Feel free to comment or message me any questions!
When did you guys get complete emails? I submitted my secondary before verification, received the confirmation email saying that it was submitted and I would get a complete email later. Now it's 1.5+ weeks after verification, all green checks on my status page, but no indication of 'completeness'. Thanks!

What if you have to stay for the summer to do research or something? Can you still stay in your dorm? Do you have to pay something extra?I really like my dorm! Very spacious. It's $8000 for academic year. There might be help with it in some cases thru finaid or something though not sure....

(not that I have a high chance of getting accepted to Columbia, just curious)
Hey mmmcdowe, or any other med student at columbia - do you find from your class makeup that undergrad prestige is a important factor in admissions at columbia?
sincerely, non-prestigous undergrad
Thank you!
Thanks man 🙂 We'll see how this cycle goes for everybody.Dont worry Amy, you definitely are a qualified applicant for this school!
Anyone know what the point of "Experiences" are in the secondary application given we already did this in the AMCAS?
II today!! So excited!
Interview Invite! So humbled and excited!!!

Holy crap... II with a 71 LizzyM. Traditional, MD only
Does anyone know if Columbia has switched to MMI or if it is still traditional?
Fifteen interview invites!! Geez, bro. Such a baller, aha. Congratulations though and good luck!![]()
You, my sir, are winning the medical school application process![]()
I guess your name means the total number of interview invites you'll be getting 😀 congrats on all your success.
Columbia is like my super duper mega ultra hyper pie in the sky dream/reach school. I get my MCAT score on Tuesday which will determine if its worth going for.
Damn, nice!! Are you gonna try and go to all your interviews? As another CA applicant, I can't imagine paying for that many cross-country plane tickets. A nice problem to have though, I suppose 😛
Congrats!
I was complete on 7/29.
For people with IIs, did you guys try to fill out the lunch info form in the confirmation email? I tried to fill it out, but I notice that none of the September interview dates were listed...
