**Official Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2011-2012**

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just got a Columbia interview invite!! SOO amped, first one!

Ahhh! I'm still waiting on them. You're the first person to have received an invite from Columbia on SDN. What are your stats if you don't mind sharing?
 
you're not the only one..i want an interview from Columbia! btw, does Columbia use AADSAS to update its information?

It's so ironic how all three of them posted within five minutes of one another.

Frantically checking email 🙁
 
I believe this situation would be COINCIDENCE not IRONY.

definitely a more accurate description, but it just doesn't feel right when you put it to music and have it sung by a bitter canadian...

and isn't it coincidental, don't you think? a little too coincidental, yeah i really do think....
 
Columbia interview. My app went out 7/18, but my LOR were not complete and submitted until this past week.

Interview at Columbia!! Third interview so far (Nova, UConn, and now Columbia). Mailed out 7/4
 
Why does everyone care so much about the mailing date? They won't process your app until you pay your secondary fee so the more pertinent question should be...

When did you get the email saying that your supplemental fee was received?
 
Because it helps to see if people in your mailing batch are already getting interview invites

I agree with double bonded. It doesn't matter when your AADSAS app was mailed out, since you won't be reviewed by the school until your application fee/materials have been completely received and processed.

Agree. But I think both mailing date and application received e-mail are important to find out how far the school has processed their applications since sometimes LORs or DAT delay the application complete mail, but once they arrived, earlier mailing batch gets earlier consideration. (not higher chance)
 
I want to be a part of this post
 
For those who got the columbia interview, did you get any emails from them besides the "application received at Columbia" one? Please and thank you!

Edit: Scratch that, they did send me the "we received your app" e-mail, I had just deleted it and forgotten! Also what the heck do they mean by "Applicant portal"?

They (Columbia) deposited my fee almost a month ago, haven't heard a single thing, e-mail or snail mail, in fact it's the only school I haven't gotten even an acknowledgment from.
 
ohhhh. Sweeeeeet. Times like these being half Brazilian works out pretty well. 😀

Haha, I know what you mean. I'm hoping being a URM can help me, also...but always makes me feel bad to think I might have gotten in over someone more qualified 🙁
