jjjjjelly

I would pick one method and stick to it-- I prefer bolding since it sticks out a lot more. Bolding what you want to get across is super important-- my review 3's comment was essentially just restating what I bolded (which worked in my favor).

Just received the official notification!

Logged into the award site to check, have not received e-mail notifications. Good luck!

OMG, I got it!

Were you guys able to log-in at all? I was able to log-in, but it didn't say anything different haha.

Has anyone heard back about an alternate interview date at Columbia? It's been a while and they haven't given me a definite answer yet...

Nope. Sent a follow-up e-mail yesterday but have not heard anything. I did e-mail the coordinator the professors I wanted to interview with, so I'm guessing he's trying to figure out a schedule based on their availability!

Great to know! And sounds like a very, very positive sign for you

it was fate!

Ahh okay, that's good to know

I e-mailed! Didn't get a response yet since I e-mailed after business hours. Yeah, I'm still waiting on Harvard and UCSD, but I think their interview dates already passed. Congrats to you too! Did you happen to get a specific date of an alternate weekend? My March is pretty booked as well! And yeah, since Columbia is so match based, I imagine the interview is mainly dependent on who wants to speak to you anyway.

Same here. I'm guessing many people have this problem since several interviews are that weekend and they notified us pretty late. The coordinator asked me if I was available a different weekend, so it's possible they might coordinate an alternate weekend depending on the our availability?

Interview invite from Columbia!

Just received the interview e-mail from Stanford!

Haha nice! It went well-- pretty standard of talking a little bit about myself and learning about his research. He was super nice!
