What did yours say? Did you get a reply from the interviewer or someone else?

Sorry. I misunderstood your question. I thought you were saying that you emailed the interviewer and got a personal reply from the interviewer. Are you sure uploading is how you submit the thank you notes?

during my interview, they said upload it to the portal even if you also emailed interviewers personally for safe measure. for anyone reading that needs this, you can upload to the portal by going to status, then application update!

Does anybody know if the Bassett invitation counts for both the Bassett track and the regular track? Will the interview cover both programs?

Counts for both, if you don't get accepted to Bassett you're considered for the main program.

I’m also wondering - are these basically a soft requirement or can we let it ride?

they are columbia. they know they are your top choice or among them. i will be choosing to let it ride since i don’t have any particularly impactful updates.
