So I got the call this morning. Needless to say I'm thrilled! Columbia was my first and only choice for business school, and I didn't even apply anywhere else, so I took a big risk.


Apparerently, Columbia tried to call me last week, and I missed it (I found that hard to beleive because I've pretty much had my phone with me everywhere I go but anyway...). So I actually got an email fom the admissions office telling me to call as soon as possible. So I called them back right away not knowing what to expect, and they told me their happy to offer me a spot in next years class!!!

TIMELINE

Submitted 8/18
Invited to Interview 9/19
Interviewed on 10/1
Status update that Interview sheet was received 10/4

ADMITTED to J-TERM on 10/15

Profile
Male, Inidian w/ US nationality, 28 years old
GMAT: 710 Q47 V41
UGPA: 3.125 social science major from top public school
5+ years experience as an entrepreneur/business owner- started my own company (online education) when I was still in college and grew the organization over the past 7 years into a national company with 10+ million in annual revenues.

Best of luck to those still applying!!! If there are any questions I can answer let me know, I'd be happy to help. This board has been an incredible source of information, inspiration and support and I thank you all for your contributions!!!!


Congratulations ANZ73! your experience is quite impressive!

What was the interview like?

I did a pretty comprehensive interview debrief a few pages back, won't repeat it here. But just in general, I was pretty surprised that my interviewer was a good deal more formal than most of the others that have been mentioned.

Stats: Female, Asian
GMAT: 770 (49Q, 48V, 8 IR, 6.0 AWA)
GPA: 3.74 from HYP
Work experience: technically none. Applied to the three-year JD/MBA program, straight from undergrad (but good internships/extracurrics/leadership and entrepreneurial experience in undergrad)


Congrats Lucy!

Anyone have any advice on what to do it you interviewed over a week ago and your interviewer still hasn't submited anything to Columbia? I already sent a follow up email and I don't want to "spam" the person that is about to have a meaningful say on whether I get admitted or not...should I call admissions and ask them to follow up with the person?

I would send another email to the interviewer. I'm sure he or she is a busy professional who's used to nagging/being nagged through emails. The alumni also remember the urgency with which applicants approach their admissions process, so I wouldn't worry too much about being seen as annoying. Just keep it friendly and mention that you're excited to continue the process and appreciate their help in doing so.

I wouldn't. My report was submitted 2 weeks after the interview even though it was conducted by the admission staff. The problem you have is that you know too much about the process - don't worry, let it go.

Congrats, Griffin! Hope to be joining you soon (I interviewed the day after you did). What was your previous field? How many years of WE? Intended MBA concentration? Thanks!

Previous field: corporate development / investment banking
Years of WE: about 1.5 post-grad, but substantial experience during college.
Intended MBA concentration: finance.

I wouldn't worry if you don't hear back today or tomorrow. After looking at these boards, it seems that ~10 days post your interviewer submitting their feedback is average (have seen a few substantially longer than that, some shorter). Not sure why I got such a quick response given my stats, though I do believe I was able to demonstrate a strong interest for wanting to attend CBS (hence, the ED). Doubt there is any correlation between chance of success and turn around -- in fact, it probably takes more time to call to accept someone than send a pre-written ding email.

Best of luck to you and hope to meet next year.

Thanks! Yeah, I've resigned to the fact that I won't hear until at least seven days after the interview. I'm hoping for Monday. Congratulations, again!
