To all those who are preparing for interview and also those who have already interviewed:

Where are you guys preparing from? What sources, if any? Is there a website of questions that are specific to CBS?

Thanks.

I think a good place to start is the Clearadmit Columbia interview reports. There are several questions that get asked to every prospective applicant so make sure that you have those down cold.

I was asked pretty much the Clearadmit questions as well. One other question that came out (that was not on Clearadmit) during my interview was "Who ARE you?" as a person. The interviewer said to disregard all professional things and only talk about personal things. Probably a new development in line with the I <3 CBS ?

I had my interview on Friday (the 11th) 4 days ago.....no update or notification as to whether or not my interviewer submitted feedback. When I left the interview I was told that she would submit feedback on Friday (same day) in order to expedite the process.

Is it appropriate to reach out to her with a reminder? I'm sure she knows to submit the feedback......s.o.s.

That's a tough one. Did you send her a thank you note after you interviewed? If not, I would do so now and let it act as a gentle reminder.
Otherwise, I wouldn't include that weekend in the day count, and would wait until Thursday morning for a "hey, remember me" email.

Hope you get the status update soon,

Interview invitations are always notified by e-mail, I believe. Haven't seen anybody here say they received a call for it.
