Hi Everyone, apologies if this was covered previously but when is the deposit deadline (if there is one?). Is it something like X weeks from acceptance or sometime in April? I'm on the waitlist and I'm hoping this gives me some idea of when there will be movement (fingers crossed). Thanks!


It's 2 weeks from when you were admitted.

Ohmygosh they really give you no time at all to decide, huh? That is crazy. So even if you're admitted in early March and you wont' find out about other Round 2 schools until end of March, you still have to decide on CBS within two weeks??

That 2 week time isn't accurate. I was admitted on 03/11 and have until 04/15 to make a decision.

Hi all - Agree with rmc720. I was actually admitted in mid-February and I have the 4/15 deadline for deposit. The Columbia connect II weekend is April 7-8 so I am guessing that everyone admitted after Columbia Connect I in Feb has until that April 15th deadline...

gobigorgohome - Since other people are hearing from their other R2 schools by this week mostly, I'm guessing you'll start to see some movement soon hopefully!! Good luck!

Thanks rmc720 and nycgirl84! April 15th sounds much more reasonable. Fingers crossed!!!!

Long time lurker here that felt obligated to boost morale here on the board. I got an acceptance call today, so there is no reason to lose hope.

Applied: Jan 2
Interviewed: Feb 27

Good luck everyone!

I also received my ding a couple of days of ago. I believe that it is partially due to my late submission (mid Jan).
Anyways, I am planning on doing an ED, when is the earliest possible submission date. I want to be able to get a decision before the R1 deadlines of other schools will that possible?

I think you can submit your application as soon as it becomes available for the next application season. I think one of the GC members here submitted as early as May last year. Check the spreadsheet. You can definitely get a response before R1 deadlines if you submit early enough.

Hopefully they let us know this week so that if we're lucky to be admitted we can make plans to attend Columbia Connect. This Friday will be two weeks out from Columbia Connect and only three weeks from the deposit deadline! Good luck to everyone still waiting!

I have friend at Columbia now who got accepted from the waitlist.

He eventually got accepted... I would recommend doing the same. Don't just call and say please accept me.. Actually go and show that you really want to be accepted. This link shows some good info also

Hi dw21, thank you very much for this. Without revealing too much about your friend for privacy reasons, can you share with us his timeline (ie. when he applied, when he was waitlisted, when he eventually was accepted)?

Hmm I had gotten a call last week about being on the waitlist, and adcom suggested I consider the EMBA which would be starting in the spring. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

might sound silly but does anyone believe there is a chance for getting in if anyone applies from this point onwards?

My friend is currently enrolled - class of 2012. He was admitted last year off the waitlist so i'm not sure of his time line. Sorry.

From today, you have 20 days to apply, so undoubtedly your app and recommendations will be rushed. Considering it seems like most of the class is filled, unless your credentials are exceptional, I wouldn't waste my money, my time, nor want to have the status as a reapplicant for next year.

I would suggest applying ED or J-term for 2012 if possible.

P>0, but its obviously not as good as it would have been had you applied 6 months ago. That being said if you've cured cancer or have some other interesting/compelling story in addition to being a stellar candidate then there very well may be a spot for you in the class.
