Uh no. It's a ding until you get the ding email (where your likelihood of getting an interview decreases over time). So until then, you never know.

Does anyone know how the fellowship notification process works at Columbia? For example, do people tend to receive fellowship offers upon admission, or only after submitting their first enrollment deposit? Their website doesn't seem to be entirely clear on this...

I think that depends on when you receive an acceptance letter. Fellowship offers go out sometime in late February, so for the already admitted, it is just a waiting game. For those who get admitted after February but applied before 1/5 (the deadline to be considered for a fellowship), you may find out your fellowship amount, if any, when you get accepted.

Yikes - kind of 'half glass empty' - yes?
Positive thinking can do wonders people.

Columbia's process is still not clear for me.

If they say that applications are reviewed in order that they are received. How some people that sent the application after others get interview invitation before?

I applied 12/21/2010, and didn't hear anything. It is still under review...

Would they send me an email telling that my application was reject if that is the case, at the same time that they would send me interview invites?

Also, I am in California... How do they schedule the interviews out of campus?

thanks my forum friends!
it is very helpful to have all of you to talk about this stressing process!


Hey there,
When Columbia says they have three adcom members read each application with a chance to invite a candidate for an interview, they don't mean that they do so at the same time. For example, you may have submitted on 1/5, the app went under review 1/10, then Adcom Member #1 reads your entire app thoroughly on 1/10. If he or she passes on it (doesn't invite you), then it'll go into the pile, likely at the bottom, of Adcom Member #2. So it'll take at least another 5-10 days (and probably longer) for it to be read thoroughly by Adcom Member #2, at which point he or she can pass or invite you. This whole cycle repeats for Adcom Member #3. If you aren't invited by any of the three and you are fairly competitive, then adcom as a group might consider whether you deserve an interview.

This is why interview invites can be very quick, or can take a long time. We all know that in any group, each member has certain likes and dislikes relative to other members of the group, and this system minimizes the potential for systematic biases.

Hope this helps.



So I guess there is still some hope for me. This also means then that really strong applicants will get invites earlier than others. That will allow one to gauge how competitive they are.

Hi Zeus,

If the 1st reader invites for interview, does it still get a 2nd and 3rd review? Also, what is the timeline for a "fairly quick" interview invite and for a "take a long time" one? I hope this makes sense.

Zeustheman, i hope you're right on the timeline. I submitted on Christmas Day and went under review on 1/4 but not invite yet. Getting really nervous since some people received invites this week.

Guys, know I'm a bit late in the race, but was wondering if there are any CBS admits/current students/alums active on the forum who'd be willing to give my essays a quick read? Planning to submit my app in a day or two.
Would be of immense help. Thanks.

Anyone know how long CBS gives you to make up your mind about a seat/tuition deposit? I saw on the website that they only give ED applicants 2 weeks, and wanted to know if RD applicants have a longer time frame.
