Honestly, it been really fun traveling and meeting new people. Seeing all the different schools have really been an enjoyable experience. Besides, I have no clue where I want to go if I'm accepted.
How much money did you spend on 18 interviews...?

Hi! Can you explain more of what you added to your application? We have the same GPA and I have been worried about applying this coming May! Congrats to you on all of your interviews!
Hi! How many hours did you put for shadowing and volunteering? I have about the same GPA
Thanks! You can message me privately, if you’d like, but I would say the biggest thing that helped me was applying the day the application opened. I have also been working full-time almost 5 years and have been continuing to take classes part-time. I volunteer regularly because I enjoy it. I had a relatively strong personal statement and good letters of evaluation. Please reach out again if you have specific questions! 🙂

Thank you! Good luck to you as well!
For more detail, I have about 600+ volunteering hours and almost 200 shadowing hours.

Hey I’m just curious if schools have stopped giving out interviews?
Maybe most of them stopped sending pre-december but there will still be a lot of post december

Sigh... losing hope. Do they continue giving out post dec interviews now or do they wait until after the first wave of acceptances?
It depends on the school. Columbia has already given them all out. It might give more if people cancel them. Some schools will wait to assess how many applicants accept their offer and then decide how many post December invites to send. Some schools are already planning to
Hello! I am just curious how you find out that Columbia gave all their invites out?

They said in their email that their last date is Feb 22 and a bunch of people on DAT BC page said they got interview for 22nd
I am part of that page but have no idea what you are talking about! Is there a specific post you are referencing to?
I don't know how to make this any more simple lol.
Columbia sent their post December interviews back in September.
They stated in the email that they are doing interviews starting January 18 and every friday after until February 22nd. They also stated that they will fill up very fast....in bold
That's 6 interview dates.
Someone on here posted that their interview date is February 2nd.
Someone on DAT BC group said their interview option was February 22nd.
If you care enough, you may scroll through to September and find the posts.
There is a reason that they have been silent since September 4th
Oh gosh...thank you for such a polite answer!
I haven't received a single email from Columbia, so thanks for the information!
Don’t worry yet, if you haven’t heard yet you will probably hear sometime in December because I feel like people that get accepted December might cancel their interview. Mine is January 18th and I will cancel it if I hear from my top choices
Good luck!
I emailed them a few days ago asking for the status of my application and they said mine is still being considered. So I guess I am waitlisted.
you are not waitlisted
just like they said, you are under consideration

But they have sent out all their invites, even post-dec ones, correct? I guess I might get an invite when people cancel theirs.

I hope so! I applied mid September so I don’t even think I have a chance for post dec interviews at this point...
You definitely have a chance for post December interviews! A completely average friend of mine applied in September last cycle and got 5 post dec interviews.

Oh that’s what I’m trying to figure out bc I feel like they’ve already given out the post dec interviews 🙁
Nah fam some schools maybe but a lot of them are still interviewing into spring
have you tried looking at past threads for a specific school? that might give you an idea of when they really stop giving interviews altogether
Have you at least started to make a ranking list, or are you going to put a deposit down at multiple schools?

Been trying to decide my top 5, in case I get admitted to all. What do guys think of this list?

I would go to University of Florida. If you get an HPSP or NHSC full ride scholarship, then go VCU
