Me too! A watched pot never boils. We were watching the pot known as Wharton, and it obviously didn't boil. Wasn't watching this pot, in fact given their timeline I wasn't expecting to hear anything for 3-4 more weeks.
I'm really excited about this - just like you it feels great after getting no love from Wharton.
I actually had been thinking that Columbia would be a really tough nut to crack, maybe even tougher than Wharton. Columbia's admit rate is lower than Wharton's, and I have heard (from Sandy on BW) that after the ED round, Columbia's admit rate is probably in line with Harvard & Stanford. Of course, they probably don't get the same quality of applicant, and I actually don't believe it is tougher than Wharton, but it is probably tougher than any schools other than HWS and maybe Chicago this year.
It's a great feeling to get the interview, but it's really a relief knowing that my application doesn't contain any unknown grenades, at least not in the eyes of one school.
Good luck guys!
See? Told ya! glad to hear your news and everyone else's news. Now get ready to face the 2nd phase of application madness (after a few interviews) when you are basically waiting for news for an entire month.
Cheers. L.
