Calling Columbia applicants for 2008

My recos aren't done yet. But even then I am not sure if I should submit my application before visiting the school officially.

I submitted my app last week (8/21/07)
Here are my stats: 710 GMAT, 3.5 GPA, 3 Yrs w/e - public accounting (Big Four), CPA, Real Estate Salesperson (part-time), 24 Age, Korean-American, Recs - From manager and partner

Good luck to all!!! I will definitely need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Wondee! Let us know how it goes!

Thanks kryzak....

Good luck on yours as well. I hope that we can be classmates!

kryzak isn't applying to Columbia. But I am .. so you can hope for me to be your classmate then

Count me in too

oops.... sorry kryzak

yeah... i hope we can all make it!!!!! keep me posted.... i will do the same... good luck!!

maybe I should apply to Columbia too eh?

Join the bandwagon.

Guys, need your help deciding when to apply to Col. I think I am done with the application (Have visited the school unofficially, have talked to a lot of alumni and students etc, have done the essays and got them reviewed too). I asked this question in the chat too, but nobody answered (May you all go to Hell !!)

I am attending an info-session on Sep 5. Should I apply then? Or should I apply after I make an official visit in Sept end?

Waiting has a side benefit of using my next month's learnings to refine my Columbia essays, but I don't know if there's any space to refine much anyway. I am worried that in a rolling admission process waiting unnecessarily might hurt my chances a little. Then, because I will be visiting Columbia before my application actually gets reviewed, Columbia will know of my interest in the school anyway. So should I just submit after Sept 5? Will waiting for 25 more days make that much of a difference in either case?

mNeo, if you are applying ED, then you should submit as soon as you can. Now, can you spare me from hell's fire.

I submitted my J-Term app yesterday. I guess the first ding is on its way..

either that or the first admin + money is on the way

apply asap... I am gonna file in my application next week. Just waiting for the recommender's letters.

Thanks guys, then I am also applying as soon as I get the recos.

Hey .. hey .. hey .. are you questioning my vision? Didn't I tell you that you'll get both J-Term and Princeton? BTW when you do get into both, pick Princeton, dude !

Hehe ..

Started my Princeton app today. The interface is so much nicer and I can recycle most of my Columbia goals essay.

You must excuse my ignorance, but is Princeton really that much better ? I guess we dont get as much exposure to the brands in Australia.
