Thanks for taking time to answer our questions.
I have a question about my submission status:
I submitted my application on 10/5 7 AM, and I got an email notifying the status change on 10/5 9 AM. The status was changed to: Your application is now being printed and prepared for review.
However, my two recommendations were not submitted then until around deadline.
Since then, my status has kept being: Submitted. Your application is now being printed and prepared for review...
I wonder whether the unchange of my status means I'm after other candidates who submitted apps earlier than me so it's not my turn yet, or means the late submission of recommendations does harm to the review priority of my package?
Many thanks to your answers!
Hi bonnierong2010,
Thank you for submitting your application! If your recommenders did not submit your application would be incomplete. We cannot review applications until they are complete, which includes recommendations. If your recommenders submitted after you sent us your application and your application status is incomplete please contact us at
apply@gsb.columbia.edu and we will update your application. If they have not submitted we will not be able to begin reviewing your application until the recommenders are in our system.
I hope this helps.
