daiy Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Hi everyone~ I read someone saying that s/he was hoping to get an interview from Columbia. From Columbia's website I got the feeling that they do not conduct interviews and that they make decisions based on your application only. It seems that many other schools do not conduct interviews - Upenn, Cornell, etc. Did I understand it wrong, or do they actually conduct selective interviews and just did not mention it on their websites?
L333makes Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Cornell definitely interviews shortlisted candidates. Not sure about Penn.

caraa Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Yeah, i remember reading last year in this forum about people who were getting columbia interviews. Last year, I got into UW Madison without an interview. MICA Hoffberger, on the other hand, interviewed me and definitely requires that for shortlisted candidates. I'm wondering though about some of the schools I'm applying to this year: does anyone know whether CCA, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, Mills, Northwestern, or UPenn require interviews for their shortlist?
Payne Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I seem to recall last year that people were getting "informal" phone interviews from CCA and the results were in the WebAdvisor site, which I've been having trouble logging into. I applied to UCSD as well and I'm wondering if they conduct interviews too. Does anyone know? Yeah, i remember reading last year in this forum about people who were getting columbia interviews.

Curious12345 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I thought that all schools required an interview until I got a call saying I was accepted to UCSB. I know it isn't the best ranked program, but its definitely not the worst. Kinda weird when most of the other UCs require interviews.
michaelwebster Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 CCA interviewed me last year via phone for social practices. UNC Chapel Hill does not interview. SAIC does not interview for performance or ceramics.
daiy Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 I just looked at PennDesign's website again and they said that they do not conduct interview for people and that the decisions will be sent out on March 14th. Cornell does conduct interview for shortlisted candidates - I wasn't aware of that at the beginning but just found this information in their FAQs.
Artist1 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I don't think Syracuse requires in person interviews
