i've been calling every day for a while now and it rings once before going straight to voice mail. What am I doing wrong?
 
apparently, they don't
I called 10 times today, no answer
emailed them twice in 2 weeks= no answer
I have no idea how to contact them
feeling hopeless

I think I did once and got through. Have you tried calling early? I mean by their time, 8am eastern?
They were pretty helpful - I wanted to know whether I could coordinate my interviews, so I called to check on my status and the lady on the phone apparently had 25 people that they were going to send invites to... i wasn't one of them =\ hehe.
 
They were terrible when I applied last year. I had to call three days straight till someone picked up. I asked whether or not all of my pre-reqs are met, and DAT scores were in, and the lady just basically told me that it was under review and they'll contact me if necessary, aka "shut up and we'll get to you when we feel like it."
 
pretty much no...i called 3 days in a row 20 times on average/day...finallt, a lady picked up...but she was MAD!!!...the worst answer I ever got...she acted like I just bothered her sleep or smth...it made me feel really guilty...anyway it was around 3:30 pm when she picked up...good luck...just don't give up
 
jesus christ...i can't believe all this craziness with columbia not picking up their phone. i called this morning at 9am california time and got through to somebody on the first try. maybe i was just freaken lucky or something.

hi
For ppl who got interview from columbia
when did u apply?
If application says application complete, does that mean they are reviewing my application?

were they like all ehhh you applied at nyu?
 
if you want to see if you app is complete try email

They prob have like 5000 calls a day "OMG DID I GET AN INTERVIEW!!!?!?!?"
 
The admissions office number has a full mailbox as of today. I called a different number and got a person who explained the admissions coordinator was out of town until Monday and would be responding to emails/calls then.

Please don't call if you don't have an interview, they are reviewing your application and will email you if you are selected. Leave the lines open for those who are trying to schedule the day of their interview!
 
yea...i even emailed them to schedule an interview and they never emailed me back. I called and left a message and never called back. So I kept calling and calling to schedule one.
 
in another thread, someone posted saying the admission coordinator is out of town and will be back on next monday.

really, I called and was able to leave a message on the voicemail box. Seems it wasn't full for about an hour tho lol. Also, I emailed. Rest assured, I'll be calling Diana up at 8am on Monday morning
 
I got an interview invitation via email from them. They asked me to send them a reply email so that they can then assign me a date. So I did send an email and I haven't heard from them for about 2, 3 weeks.
