Ok, I just got the call today! I'm in! Go Columbia!!!
Congrats!
I just return from my interview, and I thought it was very tough, it took 1hour and a half, I'm not sure if that is good.
Started with my Resume, and he was always asking me why I made the moves instead of just listening to them. Later explored situations at work, experiences with diversity, what are my strength and what can I develop, what I would add to Columbia, why Columbia, what are my goals, a difficult situation I lived at work, and an Ethical Dilemma: when have I experienced one, what did I learn from it and what should I have done differently now. And then: if I was applying to other schools, and what schools, and what the rationale behind my applications
! I told the true, and then he asked me if I got into all of them what would I do, and... I didn't lie. At the end, he opened for questions, and at the very end, he asked again about the schools, and I couldn't help telling him that I was already accepted to 2 of them, but not telling which ones.
Once again I think I didn't have a great interview, I know that if I get into you guys will start thinking I'm a pessimist, but honestly, I may regret of how honest I was, but that's me, I even told him that I was applying RD because I really didn't know if CBS was my first option, and that's why I'm traveling now to USA to get to know the schools, cities, etc.
It was a very deep interview, with many "tricky" parts.
Now let's see, usually final decisions come from 1 to 2 weeks after interview.
