stringing you along to an acceptance, probably, looking at their LSN graphs they don't seem to pass up as many high numbered people as there are with long waits here. I guess people debunked the idea that they're waiting to hear back from scholarship people, so the next most likely culprit is their interviewing. they seem to like talking to applicants with high numbers, so maybe you're just in a reserve pile they're keeping for that. I don't know what the goal is, my understanding is that skype interviews are mostly there to make sure you aren't borderline autistic/know some token things about the school. I dunno, maybe they resent the fact that you didn't pick ColumbiaHopeful as your screen name.
