Interview at GS?
Has anyone taken the interview? And what kind of questions do they usually ask?

I am currently in Seattle, and couldn't do an in-person interview unless it was dire... do you know if they do phone interviews?

This is for Spring 2010... kind of surprised they contacted me so early. I finished my application a little less than 2 weeks ago.

Argh, I'm gonna die... wondering if interview is a good or bad thing. EFF.

I didnt get called for an interview, and got a decision back last friday...
From what they explained during the info session they usually call for an interview if they need you to clarify something on your application...

but who really knows....

Goodluck!!!

phone interview
holy moly.... i just had my interview, and i think i didn't do so well...

basically, he asked me about why i had gaps in my education... and i put down comp sci as a major i was interested in, so he asked me why i picked that major, and if i didnt like it, what else i would be interested in studying at columbia...

yeah... i dont think i did well at all LOL

Did anyone else have their application Financial Aid status change to Received and Completed?

I am just wondering if this is a generic path in the application process. I don't want it to get my hopes up.

Bump - - I read Ziv's post about how they don't process the financial aid until one is accepted, but I'm unaware of the validity of the statement. So if anyone else had their financial aid status change, please let me know. I really don't want to assume the best at this point... if it winds up being a sense of false hope.

Anyways, best of luck to all other applicants!

Sorry for the triple post... but I found out that it's nothing to be alarmed about and that decisions will (probably) be mailed a week from today on the 16th.

Good luck.

the statement, in my humble opinion, IS valid since its based on what Skip BAiley (the financial aid coordinatorzu told us at the info session

Just finished Part 1 for Fall 2010 and am now working on Part 2. Did anyone else attach additional sheets for extracurriculars/awards received? I'm wondering if they just want your top 3?
