Hi everyone!

I posted in the main 2017 forum but happy to be posting here as well as a soon-to-be CBSer!

Just to add a data point on fellowships, I was told of my fellowship during my call, and my email/official letter also noted my fellowship offer. I did receive my acceptance after the January merit deadline however.

But speaking of fellowships - do any of you know what happens to the deposit if you receive a full-tuition fellowship? I'm guessing the deposit will just go towards some of the other mandatory fees, but wasn't sure and wanted to ask this community before I ask the admission office.

Hope to see you all at Connect!

Hey guys, has any applicant who applied early decision heard back regarding scholarships? I know a handful of people have heard, but they all applied post the deadline.

thanks

Hi Kathmandu,

For anyone wondering about the BC, I just recieved an email from Columbia saying that the Re Vera verification was complete.
So Columbia will in fact let you know when they finish.
Note that there might be a lag between verification complete and Columbia processing the completion.

I did too. ReVera asked me to confirm something and they told me that they send them to CBS in batches, so the confirmation is not done on a rolling basis.

Same here. I just received the email. I took almost three months. Not that I was worried... but it's good to know the BC is finally over.

Where can I find out about applying for scholarships?

Also, are there any repercussions for waiting until the last minute to accept?

Seems to be a hot topic around here, and rightfully so, these are some big $ decisions. As I've read / heard, some applicants that were NOT early decision received their scholarship information with acceptance, though I do not know if that means you are not getting $ if you didn't hear with your acceptance. I have not read / heard of an ED candidate receiving money, though I assume that goes out last as all ED candidates are locked in anyway.

Wish I had more details for you, will update if I heard anything. We could always ask in the AdCom in the other thread, but the standard verbiage is 'most go out in the Spring'

thanks

For those of you that have gone through the background check already, does Re Vera email you right before they begin the process? I saw a little while back that someone mentioned that they got an email before Re Vera got started on their file. I work for a smaller company and am somewhat nervous that somebody here may pick up the phone that doesn't know that I'm leaving in a few months...

I never recieved any communication from Re Vera. The HR rep from my company send me an email asking if I had signed a doc to release information. That was how I knew that the process had started. Hope it helps buddy.

For those that were admitted regular decision, was there a specific deadline that was given for putting down your deposit and how much was due? This is premature but I'm trying to gauge whether I would have time enough to hear back from all my other schools before putting down a deposit, assuming I was admitted (my interview report was submitted last night but I have not heard the decision yet of course).

Thanks and sorry for posting here, no one answered my question on the applicants thread.

ReVera states not to start your background check until your employer already knows you are leaving. I am still going through the process, they emailed me to ask for a verification of pay but that was it. To my knowledge they have never contacted anyone who works with, for or around me but I guess they want that option if they have a question. The deadline to start isn't for a few months so if you still need to keep things under wraps for a bonus or something I would just wait and start in May or June, whatever the deadline from the admitted students website is, I don't remember off the top of my head.

question on re vera-was looking in app and bonus in my first year was off by a nominal amount (VERY nominal amount-and I stated it was below what it actually was, so not like I am trying to make myself look great, this makes me look better...realized after the fact I had looked at data that was slightly off)-do you think this is cause for any concern? Probably best if I just wait and see if it actually presents any issue?
