Columbia面试
转自BW
Just to clarify some doubts you may have. RD applications started to be seen on 15th Jan, not before. ED applications were reviewed till that date, so if you applied after 15th October, your application was put into a "hold" till 15 Jan. After that date, they started reviewing RD applications, and they started in the application order, thus those who submitted on 16th October are going to be reviewed first. If you applied in January, you will have to wait for all applicants who submitted before you to be reviewed, and that takes time. Do not worry about how much is your application in the same status (received, in process, etc).
The status order is first received, then in process, then invited to interview (not always, as you may be invited to interview or not), then thank you for interviewing, last acceptance (if you are lucky).
After interviewing you can wait for 2 weeks or 1 day. In my case I was accepted 2 days after interviewing, but I know others who had to wait for 2 weeks or more.
Most of the times you will receive a mail saying that your status has changed, but it is not true in every status change, so check you on line status page once in a while. In my particular case, I received the first mail when In process, and after when admitted. Interview invitations are announced by email. You will receive a letter from admissions congratulating you and giving you the possibility to interview (it is not mandatory, but suggested). You will be given 3 possible interviewers (you will be given names, email address and phone numbers). You can schedule an interview with any of the suggested interviewers (you will have to contact them). After the interview is arranged you will have to write in the application (you will find a link at the status page) who the interviewer is and the time appointed.
Interviews are held by alumni or actual students, no admission staff. The interview is blind, and in a very relaxed format. There are no standard questions but the usual (why columbia, career goals, etc). Be prepared to answer about yourself (past career, what do you enjoy doing, etc).
After all the suffering, if you are lucky, you will get an acceptance letter.
Hope this helps, any other doubt please ask
