Interviews

Applicants will receive an update on their application status by February 15. Those invited for an interview will be prompted to schedule a time to meet with the admissions committee either in person in New York or Paris, or by teleconference. 

Interviews are typically 30 minutes in length and are conducted by a joint interview panel comprised of representatives from both Columbia University and Sciences Po. Interviews are scheduled on a case-by-case basis by the admissions committee; it is not possible for applicants to request an interview independent of the committee’s invitation.

Applicants to the Latin America and Caribbean minor in Poitiers will have part of their interview conducted in French.
