Pretty sure I saw more than one person who said their interviews went poorly who got Butlers.

How early are you talking? I'm mid Nov, no interview, no WL, no nothing

ETA >75 for both
I'm Mid Oct., Interviewed Mid Nov., but with nothing else.
Same situation as you, but no interview

For those of you who interviewed, did you receive an email confirmation after signing up for the interview? The page says that a confirmation will be emailed prior to the interview, but I haven't received mine yet (and my interview is this week). Thanks so much, and sorry if this has been asked already!

The email doesn't come from Columbia. It's some weird automatic "noreply" appointments plus sender. I'd check your spam folder if you haven't already.

Thanks for the quick reply! There's no confirmation in my spam folder either - I'll just reach out to the admissions office tomorrow to confirm.

When I interviewed recently I didn't receive a confirmation until 2 days before the interview so I wouldn't necessarily worry about it if yours is scheduled for later in the week.

Mine showed up a few days later (same admit date), and I live on the West Coast. Though that being said, another school's packet took two or more weeks to arrive after my acceptance.

No interview and nothing yet. I still optimistic. Maybe that will change if we are in the same boat come March :)

Interviewed in December (above both 75s), no notification either. my (optimistic) theory is that we are on the border between non-named scholarships and Butlers, or between Butlers and Hamiltons, and the folks at admissions want to see how much money they have left before releasing admits, since they appear to be giving named scholarship notifications with and only with initial acceptances. Thoughts?
