Calling all CBS Applicants - (2016 Intake) Class of 2018

I submitted mine on 8/16. Still have not heard anything. I'm anxious as well, but trying to keep in mind that there were holidays in the States.

Just got my invite. Good luck y'all!

Doesn't bode well for me - congrats and thanks for update.

Any news today?

Just got in! Pretty pumped.

Applied 8/10
Invited to interview 8/19
Interviewed 8/26 (with adcom who happened to be travelling in my town)
Accepted 9/10

Columbia undergrad, investment banking and corporate strategy 5 years

Congrats! I think your schedule is the fastest I've seen to date.
Have you been accepted into ED or J-term?

Thank you!

ED

Applied: late May
Accepted: late June

The interview invite came about two weeks after I applied. I interviewed a few days after the invite and was accepted a couple weeks later. I was a re-applicant this year. Last year I was denied without an interview. Last year when I applied, I wasn't myself. This year when I applied, I really let my goals and personal vision for my future shine through. Getting rejected from a target program isn't necessarily failure, but giving up is.

I hope this inspires some of the re-applicants and people who may get rejected in the future.

Sharing my timeline:

Submitted 8/3
Invited to Interview 8/27
Interviewed 9/9

Now waiting for final decision!

I got the call today. From an unknown number which I couldn't even answer properly because I was in an elevator. Got an email shortly after asking me to call back.

My timeline:

Submit - July 29
Interview Invite - August 20
Interview - August 28
Interview feedback submission - September 8
Acceptance - September 15

Little about me:
770 GMAT 50Q 45V 7IR 5AWA
Undergrad GPA is 7.75/9 which roughly converts to a 3.65/3.7 on the 4.0 scale (according to law school admissions)
Law school GPA is much lower, Bs across the board
38 months of work experience at matriculation, I work at a federal department dealing with copyright legislation and policy. Future career goals include working at a music tech startup like Spotify.

Congrats!

Just out of curiosity, was that ED?

It was! So that's the end of applications for me.

You should be proud! Now it is time to relax.

To think what you could have done if you didn't have such a **** score!

Hey guys, finally got dinged today. At least I knew it was coming when I didn't hear back after three weeks. Best of luck to everyone here who has applied or already been accepted.

Hi goingconcern,

Were you ED or J-term?
