Re: Columbia c/o 2021 Applicants Thread (2017-2018)
if they request interview, is that good or bad? Is it possible to decline the interview and still get accepted?

Re: Columbia c/o 2021 Applicants Thread (2017-2018)
I believe it's random, from what I've read on the forums (with some being told explicitly by adcomms that they are random and to spread the word about that). I know people have been accepted without an interview (meaning no interview request at all), but I feel like it would look bad to decline an interview that was requested.FutureTaxLawyer? wrote:if they request interview, is that good or bad?

There's no reason it would be a bad sign. No way of knowing if you can decline and still be accepted, but if you want to attend, why not interview?FutureTaxLawyer? wrote:if they request interview, is that good or bad? Is it possible to decline the interview and still get accepted?

I feel like if you decline, it's going to signal that you don't really want to go there.

Second this big time. Lower-ranked school auto-denied me after I turned down an interview there despite being a good bit above their medians, Columbia has even more leeway to do so.tinycatfriend wrote:rideagain wrote:Why would you decline?FutureTaxLawyer? wrote:if they request interview, is that good or bad?

last year this wave was on a thursday/friday/tuesday

ARE interviews required for admission?
I just got an email requesting i do a law school interest survey “now that i am a part of the Columbia community “ but I didn’t receive an acceptance email or anything. But complete for a while though. Is this an acceptance???!
