2022-2023 Columbia (Vagelos)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
for thank you letters, did you all email them to the admissions email or upload them into the "communications" tab on the portal?

If you interview at Bassett do you also interview at Columbia?
 
For anyone who has interviewed Columbia already, how was it?
very close knit feel! i had only 11 people total in my Group (morning). Pretty much a fish tank where we chatted with current students (completely optional; you could turn your camera off to get food/eat). they pulled you out at times for the interviews (breakout room).
1-hour deans welcome and 1 hr. welcome with upperclassmen + virtual tour.
2 30 min interviews with adcom. interviewers are really kind and really got to know my application; they asked really introspective and thoughtful questions but it felt like a conversation rather than a standardized interview (didn't even notice when they asked the "why medicine" or "why Columbia" etc until reflecting later that day). it'll be a great time.

my favorite interview to date and dream school *fingers crossed*

Has anyone had any luck asking for interview dates not listed on the calendar? Based on the dates I'm seeing rn, I would have to do my interview from a hotel room I'm sharing with a couple of my colleagues, so not ideal lol

Did one of mine in a car while friends were driving and was accepted to that school haha
Not as high stakes as Columbia tho

Has anyone who has got a Bassett interview spelled Bassett wrong (Basset) throughout their secondary? Or am I DOA?
 
Does anyone know what the grading system is at Columbia?
