me trying to make sense of this entire app cycle and where we are in the timeline

So, I got a II here way back on Dec 14, but the email said that they would email me back with scheduling details in the coming weeks. Did I miss something? Because I still haven't seen anything regarding scheduling the interview. Going on a month post-II now.

I would email or call them at this point/check your spam. I got my II after you and they already reached out to schedule.

I haven't contacted them because I figured that would annoy them. Like... I can't imagine they'd forget, right?

You would hope so but sometimes stuff happens and people fall through the cracks. Ultimately you have more to lose than they do if you did. Also don't think it would annoy them they seem like reasonable people.

Clarifying the 1/29 interview date. Current student and they send us sign ups to talk to interviewees. They said this was the last month of interviewing.

So does that mean all the IIs have been sent out?

 

[nycccpremed]

I just emailed the admissions committee to ask them when the last IIs are expected to be sent out! I’ll post what they respond

[MooseKaboose98]

Kind of a random question but... does Columbia accept AP credit for labs? I didn't take Bio lab 1 and 2, but have done other upper level lab courses and did independent research.

 

[nycccpremed]

So I emailed the admissions committee and this is what I received: “Thank you for your email. Interview invitations are still being sent out and are continuing to be sent out. There is no official last day of interview invitations.”

 

[lalala4321]

got an ii this morning! said scheduling interviews lags behind interview invitations and they will be in touch within the next couple weeks so i dont know if interviewing will end in jan

thanks! i was complete early august, had totally assumed columbia was an r at this point

 

[GLink]

Not sure if this is helpful to the discussion, but I did upload an update letter to the Columbia portal late last night and got a confirmation this morning via email that they had received the update. For anyone whose really interested in Columbia, whether pre-II or post-II (I was the latter), I think it can't hurt to try an update considering the response I got was prompt and relatively positive.

Has anyone gotten into Columbia-Bassett yet? Just wanted to see if they have accepted their second batch.

I still haven’t heard from them to schedule and I got the II 12/29. Do y’all think it would be appropriate to send a very polite email asking about the timeline?

I think that's fine. I got my II on 12/14 and had just been invited to schedule it last Friday, FWIW.

Thanks! Good to know things are moving even if it’s lagging quite a bit. Congrats!

Edit: Columbia with great timing, just got the scheduling invite

what was the latest interview date they had?

 

[SiberianIris]

what was the latest interview date they had?

I only saw one open date, though I think it's possible they're giving people limited options and there might be other dates that just weren't open to me.

 

[ducks_are _the best]

Anyone write a letter of interest post interviews/sent any updates? Is the school open to it?

 

[aoki1]

They specifically told us to keep in touch if anything important happens after our interview. I sent one in about 2 months post interview and got that automatic thank you receipt email they send.

Yeahh me! I get some ads about masters at CUMC but thats just because I’m an undergrad at CU not related to the application. RADIO SILENCE since July 🙁

Same and no idea what ~not receiving these emails~ means. At least we're in this together :/

 

[wpneuro]

OOF seems like not getting the emails is the norm now I'm wondering what it means to RECEIVE them 😭😭😂 yikes

 

[k1808h]

Just got an II (after I receiving the "pre-II" email earlier this week) - there's only one option available next week. Anyone know if they're offering more dates?

What's the "pre-II" email?

 

[k1808h]

What's the "pre-II" email?

I got an email earlier this week saying that they would be sending me an interview invite, but that they're behind on scheduling so they would send me the official email a bit later.

They send out rejections when acceptance are sent out in early March

 

[MedicalStudent888]

Any current students on here I could ask a question to? Was wondering if anyone could give any firsthand insight on the curriculum

 

[KendallJennerSniperLady69]

Is anyone else never able to access the secondary portal? Every time I try to check it, I'm unable to 🙁

This is really random and not sure if this is your problem, but I was unable to access all secondary portals through amp, and I realized it was my ad blocker lol. (It was disabled but after I uninstalled it I was able to access)

 

[justagirl213]

Just a heads up- they said they’re finishing up interviews next week.

I'm able to access all secondary portals except for this one for some reason. I tried on different computers and my phone too.

R I P I was trying to access the portal to see if they accept updates, but I guess there's no point lol.

I’m a current student. They give us the interview calendar and the last day is next Friday.

Yup, I am an interviewee and asked for dates in Feb, and they mentioned that they are not interviewing in Feb.
