Congrats to all those accepted. Look forward to getting in touch with my future classmates

I probably had one of the quickest turnaround time here. I am a reapplicant though. Truly admire the speed of the adcoms at CBS.

Submitted: 31/08
Accepted: 12/09

They didn't interview me this year. They considered my last year's interview.

Have there been any dings yet or are they waiting to send out all the acceptances and waitlists before doing that?

Ahhh this is frustrating! I am in the waiting boat. Assuming that it isn't a good sign.

Anyone apply on the deadline and been dinged yet? Do people know if they normally have you wait the six weeks?

Does anyone know of any FB group for admits? Or any pre admit events? Frankly haven't seen a single thing to identify other students except the posts here.

I was just accepted to the J-term program this week, but I've applied to a couple other programs that start next fall and the notification date for those isn't until December. Does anyone know when you have to commit to J-term program? I'm ecstatic to be admitted to CBS - just wondering if I will be able to hear from other schools at all.
