Calling All 2010 CBS Applicants (MERGED)

50 days???? that's insane! sorry, i didn't read your previous posts but have you followed up w/ cbs? i need to make a decision re: tuck before 4/22. there's no way i can wait 2 months for a decision. it's only been 2 weeks since my interview went complete i guess if i don't accept their offer (yes, i'm being very optimistic , someone else will...

is anyone still updating the roll call?

Thought I'd offer my thoughts for everyone that has completed an interview, received feedback, and is now waiting on a decision. I'm in the same boat...although I haven't been waiting nearly as long as some...interviewed on 4/2 and feedback submitted on 4/6

Anyone admitted between Feb 18th and April 2nd has until April 16th to submit their deposit. By now, almost all other schools have released R2 decisions so CSB is likely waiting until the 16th to see how many deposits they receive before releasing the next wave of decisions. Obviously the fewer the acceptances at CSB by the 16th, the better for anyone still waiting, but I would think they still plan to admit a certain number regardless.

The last despoit deadline was March 4th and if you look back at the thread around that time, you'll see a few decisions start to go out during the days leading up to March 4th and then a flurry of news over the following week. Since then there have been a few decisions released but pretty sparse for most of April as I really think they are waiting on the April 16th deadline.

Far from an exact science but this logic seems more consistent than trying to gauge how many weeks it has been since your application went complete or you received feedback on the interview. Best of luck to everyone still waiting. Hopefully we start to hear some good news late next week or on April 19th/20th.

To Wildcat,

I noticed that you had your interview pretty late. Can I ask you when you applied and what is your profile ?

Thanks.

Just heard a few minutes ago via an email status update. Waitlisted.

More importantly, closure.

BSBound thanks for your advice.

Outlawfades-congratulations. Also, good to see some action from CBS.

Linhvn - submitted on 1/9, under review on 2/1, interview invite came on 3/18

Definitely felt like both my wait to go under review and to hear back about an interview were pretty lengthy but not sure what/how to read into this

Profile:

Are there a lot of people on here that have interviewed and are waiting beyond 12 weeks from when your app went under review? I am at 12 weeks today, but I think if I hear anything before Friday (the deposit deadline for earlier acceptances) it will be either a ding or waitlist. Anybody else agree/disagree with this rationale?

Well, count me in to that pool of waiting beyond 12 weeks. I submitted my application on 1/6, went complete around 1/9, interviewed on 3/16. Still no word for me! Certainly not holding my breath anymore, though.

on the optimistic side, i think there are a lot of people in the same boat and that cbs has a lot of spots left to fill. i would guess that it has to do with waiting to see what candidates accept offers from other schools, etc.

Withdrawn from the waitlist. Best of luck to everyone still waiting!!

Just submitted my app. Now the wait begins.

count me in the same boat. wound up being waitlisted, but have subsequently removed myself from the WL. good luck to everyone else!

My status changed to "Your application is now being printed and prepared for review." Does this mean that it's complete and is under review by the admissions committee?

i was also waitlisted today good luck to those waiting for a response!

I believe there is an "under review" stage that comes next. After that is the potential interview invite.

Thanks. From what I gather, it takes roughly 2-3 weeks for it to get to the "under review" stage?
