I submitted on 22nd Dec, and my status is still 'under review'. I haven't been invited to interview either in all this time.
Any other international applicants in a similar situation? I see that most people who've heard back (at least on this forum) are based in the US
Thanks


FYI, I'm an international applicant from Korea.

Submitted 1/4
Under review 1/13
Still waiting now

I have been preparing for interview after I submitted hoping good news and I have a faith of it. Let's think positively. I wish you all good luck.

I applied on Jan 3 and haven't heard anything as yet. I'm from India.

Is it possible that they first look at US applicants and then basis their profiles fill the gaps with international students ?It'd be great if any of the current CBS students can respond to this.

Make sure you do some research on the options, I think this is important. The email address can give you a clue of where they work and google them as well if you can before emailing them. Pick the one closer to your career goals and also the one you can get more information online.

Had my interview this morning. Not sure what to think. My interviewer was pretty tough. She kept asking me to go deeper to the point wherei found myself running out of bullets. Answered all questions with composure but admittedly had some weaker substance for a few answers. Anyone have a similar experience? Wondering of they were testing my ability to think on my feet or if my answers were insufficient.

Anyone else have a tough interview or did I just get unlucky?

I had a pretty reasonable interviewer (no excessive jabbing), but just did a crappy job myself....not sure if that makes you feel any better :)

I hope the interview is merely a part of the application as a whole, but that might be wishful thinking. Makes it tough given the lack of consistency from one interviewer to the next. I feel like my answers would have sufficed for most interviewers (as they did in my mock interviews with my consultant). Such is life - the playing field can never be 100% level.

Just went complete... Trying to manage expectations...
