I heard back on the 16th

I was one of the people on reddit who received an interview

I don't have any advice but I am in the same boat, I haven't been able to sleep at a normal time without using sleep aids that end up making me feel even worse. I've always struggled with anxiety and periods like this are really challenging in general. Can't even go to my schools mental health office because they're closed for the holidays.

"The Admissions Committee of the Integrated Program in Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Studies (CMBS) program has reviewed your application and it was evaluated very favorably. We interview all applicants before making a final decision about acceptance into our program. Therefore, we would like to invite you to visit Columbia University Medical Center for a personal interview."

Did people notice that the Columbia interviewers selection page already had some names filled in? Some of them seem related to research I've done previously so I wonder if there's any connection or if its just random.

Genes, cells and organisms was my first interest I think

I also got an interview for Columbia's Integrated Program (no specialization)! So excited it's my first in person interview, see you all there ? Also I did hear back from Vilcek for an interview after all ?
