You get your interview based on Part 1, which you should submit ASAP. Part 2 can come later (anytime before the deadline)

BTW, who's done with submitting everything here?

You don't request it. If they have an interview in your area, your interviewer will contact you.

TJleah, do a search in this Columbia forum. I found out too late (after my own interview) that the Columbia interviewers who are members on these threads give pretty solid advice with regards to the interview and how you can mentally ready yourself for it. In any case, bear in mind that interviews for US colleges in general are constructed in a manner that allows your personality and your abilities to show themselves, not quite your content knowledge or your achievements. So the most important thing is for you not to attempt to hide who you really are behind an air of formality.

Hey guys! I'm an Afghan girl from New York and I handed in my application for Part I October 5th. I guess I should consider myself lucky, since I was requested for an interview a week after, despite how late that is. My interview is this sunday...ahhh, so nervous! Almost done with part II, and putting the final touches on my essay. My school sucks, and our transcripts come out this week, so I can't send my application in anyways until the end of this week or beginning of next week. My rank will be really good, (probably val or sal), but my SATs will be my downfall (low 2000s).

But good luck to everyone!

I am so jealous. Senior year is pretty much a living hell for me right now. I wish I graduated early.

I've had my own share of living hell.

Besides, being entirely free is not as amazing as it sounds.

(Not that I would know. At this point, I have tons of apps to complete)

US Senior - previously lived in Beijing for 3 years (7,8,9 grade) and have been through four elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools. Procrastinating on the essay (SENIORITIS!), but otherwise, I have a good GPA, high 2200 range, 34 ACT, and plenty of high scores on AP tests.
