Can you clarify? Do you mean they asked for an updated transcript (i.e. are you still in undergrad and they want fall semester grades?

Yeah, that. Sorry I forgot to type "fall"
That's interesting. I'd read mixed reviews on here as to whether or not they ever requested it, with most posts indicating that usually schools never actually made you update from the ones listed when the application was submitted... Good to know.
It probably has more to do with my upward trend in gpa. My transcript is not at all stable and they probably want to see if I tank it or continue to do well. This is the second t-14 school that has requested grades from me btw. Hope this helps people

Yup that would make sense. Thanks for clarifying.

I don't think so. A user with a post in page 8 was accepted (ED) without an interview. I would also like to know more about the process, though!
I read from the last year's thread that the interview questions were standard...

They only interview a small group, and an interview is not necessary for admission. More info here: http://web.law.columbia.edu/admissions/ ... -questions
