Calling all CBS Applicants - (2015 Intake) Class of 2017

Haven't been on these forums in a while... but wanted to add a data point.

Accepted to CBS with 2-year full tuition merit fellowship

App submission - 11/3/14
Interview notification - 12/17/14
Interview date - 12/23/14
Interview report submission - 12/29/14

Full ride makes the choice easy. See you all at CBS this fall!

Also, do any of you know what happens to the deposit if you aren't paying tuition? Does it just go to other fees/expenses?

Just got invited to interview (1/15). Submitted application on 12/18.

AviDude Wow, that is great. Full Ride. Would you mind sharing your background profile and the interview experience ?

I am looking forward to just getting admitted. Getting $$$$ is a dream right now

ProfessorOAK : Congratulations! Seems like you have made up your mind.]

Can you share your stats & profile?

Thanks.

No problem. I graduated from a top Ivy League undergrad, worked in Investment Banking at a top 3 bulge bracket firm then went to Private Equity. Most recently, I decided that Finance was not where my passions were and I left Wall Street to pursue social impact, which is where I hope to grow my career. I also sit on a Board of a major nonprofit and started two young professional committees that are well known in NYC. Super grateful for the opportunity to be part of the CBS community!

Although I had my interview report submitted on 1/9, they called me on 1/15 because they wanted to make sure the Fellowship committee reviewed my application. They said they would have called me on 1/9 otherwise, so delayed calls are not always a bad sign!

Has anybody who applied 12/30 or later heard anything back from Columbia yet? Interview invitation, ding, ...etc.

Submitted 12/30 - heard nothing back yet. It's the very start of the 3-6 week range I see being tossed around here. Patience, though admittedly hard to muster, is key here!

Timeline for me:

Submitted: 12/26
Interview Invitation: 01/12
Interview Conducted: 01/19
Interview Report Submitted: ???

Very jealous...

You will be invited. You are in the 3-6 range, just have patience.

any accounting folks being admitted here? ED or RD?

What do you mean by accounting folks? I have studied accounting (it is part of my business major).
