Nope...It's a completely random article probably 5 pages long and you have to answer a random question about it. No way you can prep for that so don't stress it. When I had my interview it was all through zoom. I don't if they are switching to in person now. I hope you have a high science GPA and regular GPA because Fairfield really stresses those including a physics class.

Its a very long a drawn out process. You spend 8a-5p. They asked 3 personal questions. There's also an article you read and you have 1 hour to write an essay about it.

Hey I guess we're classmates! The only thing I received was the last email from Dr. Greco back in early April.

Rolling admission. So best to get it done asap especially since the application is for a cohort starting years ahead.

If all goes accordingly with the CASPER (I'm sure it will) then you and I are classmates for Fall 2021. ?

In my experienced and feed back with Columbia....they do not like to see reference letters from MDs. I was told this was a red flag by Dr. Massie. Even if you have amazing stats, reference letters from MDs will not get you an interview...After multiple years of applying and learning the hard way...either way I'm glad I got into a different program because Columbia is just not that organized as it used to be. Good luck everyone!

This is what was stated in the open house last week. I highly recommend attending them because Dr. Greco does remember faces.

Another round of phase 2 is happening on Monday. As it stands there are 5 more seats left for 2021 and they are expected to be filled up with those Monday candidates. Good luck to anyone on Monday!

Coming out of that interview....man that was interesting. It's amazing how nerves really do come into play when your being put on the spot. It was sure an experience....

Did you take the casper? Im scheduled to take it on the 23 of march. Im curious how that will affect if I get the second interview.... I was debating feb 18 for the casper but chose the later date...

I just wanna know if anyone heard about getting the phase 2 interview. I haven't heard anything yet....

Anyone waiting to hear back about the second interview?

Its going to be a “blended” program. Minimal 2940 clinical hours will be needed so front loaded won't be ideal.

I'll be honest with you...I don't think any one will say anything because it will improve your game (if you got a future interview) and decrease the chances of the person who interviewed. Not a smart move nor is it fair for those who did interview...... It's too soon to give any data away...

You too! The real question is...what am I not gonna do to prepare ?

I also got a call for an interview 2 days ago.

Has anyone heard anything yet that studied their application in October?

Its also funny how other schools make you pay only once while columbia you have to pay reach time.

I heard from someone that’s in the program that this week is the last week. If you didn’t get anything just move on. People should get their acceptance letter by nov 4th or 5th.

This year is surely different than last year.

Has there been any additional invites sent out since 2:15am Thursday?

No need to think for the worse. No one has gotten any emails yet so just need to be patient.... it’s annoying but rather have no email than a rejection email. ?‍♂️

Negative for me and my colleagues. We been texting each day to make sure neither of us missed it. Im putting my money on Monday for them to send out invites.

Last year invites were sent on 9/30 but that was a Monday. Im going to guess they’ll come around Friday or next Monday the earliest. ?‍♂️

What are your sources? Also this is a columbia thread can we please try to keep it about columbia in here?
