I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Columbia University (New York, NY) in Mar 2014
Interview
There is no interview unless you want to enter business school, however, if you get admitted, the university will definitely give you a chance to visit the campus and live with students there so that you can get more detailed information about this university. The whole experience is fine if you have some good projects and good professors to help you. Otherwise, people may feel pretty stressed out.
