Members don't see this ad.
Just got an interview invite as well! They ask for you to provide three different days, in order of preference, that they could choose to interview you on. They surely do this because they get so many applicants. Very excited for this one though!
 
Same here! Super excited for Columbia's interview!
I am a Canadian applicant! we got this 🙂

also, I only submitted two academic reference letters, one dentist and one from a research PI. Good luck everyone!

Can anyone who has received an interview invite from CDM confirm whether or not you need at least 3 academic references? If you didn't, did they ask for a third one when they emailed/called you for the interview?
 
Got my confirmation at midnight this morning! Anyone else interviewing on 9/13?

Hi all, I got an interview invation and I was curious about the following: "We ask that you bring us a picture of yourself for your admissions file."

I asked what format/ dimensions they wanted but received no reply. Could someone give me more detail?

Thank you!

I asked the same question to them over the phone, Ms. Lugo said dimensions/ content do not really matter.
Gonna go with Linkedin profile picture on a big paper to be safe.
 
Oh man... I received the INCOMPLETE FEE notice even though I already submitted it early June. Really hope this doesn't mean that I'm now being reviewed this late in the cycle even though I submitted early. 🙁

Same. It likely does mean that we are both going to be reviewed late, if at all. Unless they review apps without the supplemental fee. Or unless they just do things differently. I never received the ‘supplemental fee received’ email either even though i submitted it early june. I am also not sure why the email said to wait until receiving the notice twice before contacting them - it seems to me like they just have not even officially reviewed our app at all and the fee emails are sent on a rolling basis to everyone. So they probably take the time to process the apps (log in the fee, etc)for the candidates they are most interested in first. Who knows lol im grateful for my current interviews already

I say dont stress about it! It seems this issue has affected multiple people who already paid the fee. I emailed them with my receipt and you should too. Plus I think columbia has only sent one batch of invites so hopefully that means all of us will be fine. Regardless i wish us all the best this cycle and hope we all hear back from our dream programs, whether that be columbia or elsewhere.

I emailed them as well. I'll be calling to see how this effects my app on monday. I don't want to be considered a late applicant when I submitted 6/12.
 
I contacted the admissions office this morning and I was told that our apps would still be reviewed like normal even if we received the missing supplemental fee email this past weekend. She basically said receiving that email didnt impact or delay the review of our apps. She also said the person in charge of processing fees is out of the office but once she returns she will handle everything. Hope that helps calm some of you!

I called too before I saw this. Y'all please don't call them anymore they're getting a ton of calls and emails.

Do yall think pre-December interview spots filled up already? Or is it too early to say?

Last year, I got my interview invite in early September for January, so I’d say they’ll likely be full soon.

But you never know, admissions could be doing it differently this year
 
Finally got the supplemental payment confirmation email despite paying it on 6/17. This is after receiving the "payment missing" email a few weeks back. Really hoping this doesn't force my application to be considered as a late applicant.

Hey man I'm a current high school senior who's really interested in applying to the NYU BA/DDS program. Any advice on how to get in, and would you recommend the program? I'm thinking of applying to it under early decision.

Hopefully this means that they will review our app now even though i submitted on 6/4. Now it's almost like we submitted late even though i literally paid the first day....

Not a boat but a cruise ship now lol 🙁
 
Wow, I can’t believe I just realized this, but I did not know I had to submit the third letter from a science professor. Would it be too late to send another letter in October???would they still consider my app without the letter??
I saw some posts saying people got their invite without the third science letter.
I just hope this is not the reason hindering me from getting an interview..☹️
