Does anyone know how to determine if you are a Group A or Group B interviewee? Do they send that information out on the day before the interview or something?

they send your schedule the day before the interview via email

 

[beanie12]

are we supposed to email them and tell them what our preference is?

In my interview confirmation email it said to email them (it specified who) your preference for interview group. But it’s not guaranteed to get what you request.

3 dates available, last of which was Jan 28th. Email said that they add interview dates periodically so they may still be going.

Congrats! Did you send an update letter?

Nope!

Non-rolling admissions. Definitely interviewing for an acceptance

 

[cbum]

OOS II yesterday!

 

[shadysensei]

should we assume we're "lower" in their priority pile with this late an invite? trying to decide how much to get my hopes up!

Probably safe to assume that's not a thing since its not rolling

 

[meticulousex36]

i said ~that to my mom last week & she said “they’re saving the best for last” so probably that’s right bc my mom is famously ~never~ wrong

 

[findingdorymed]

Did they ever say when they’d release MSTP decisions? Idr if they said it during my interview day

 

[cassidy_grace2325]

I'd assume on the same day as MD on March 3rd

 

[TheDeadrok]

Did anyone else get an email after they submitted thank you notes?? I wanna know if this thing was personalized or if I just got a copy paste bad boy haha

 

[PuttingPlusChampion]

Yes! I got that email and was super excited. Sadly, I think it is just a copy-paste situation 🙁

I got an email thanking me for my kind note, stating they enjoyed welcoming me on my interview day, and assuring me that the Admissions Committee will keep me strongly in mind even though it's too soon to know how things will go this year.

[scientistabc]

is the portal not loading for anyone else?

In response to an email I sent after my Oct. MSTP interview they mentioned decisions being made in late Jan, Early Feb. This aligns with cycletrack data from last year. Always seems to be earlier for MSTP.

COLUMBIA PLS SEND ME AN II

 

[TheRealBibFortuna]

Maybe I'm missing something on the portal but how many interviews are conducted on interview day? Traditional 2 (Student + faculty) interview day?

2, both faculty

 

[flowfish]

2, both faculty

One of them may also be a student depending on availability! I had one student and one faculty

 

[X901031]

Is Columbia done with sending out ii?

 

[TheRealBibFortuna]

When is the last day of interviews?

Last day I saw when I scheduled was Jan 28th.

does anyone have any tips/reflections for the interview? I'm so so nervous

 

[TheQuibblerClinician]

[amateurs140]

I sent a letter of continued interest last week and got a response today confirming they received it. Separately, I got an email from the MSTP essentially shading NYU for their MSTP mess and saying that Columbia is still committed to physician-scientists. 😭
