Does anyone know if Columbia admissions will accept material updates to an app (e.g. new GMAT scores) after submission? For most schools, I know they accept updates (although no guarantee they will be included in the file once an app is under review), but not sure if Columbia is the same... Thanks!

Congrats Bigfernhead! That's quiet a wait you went through - sounds like the result was worth it. Any other schools you are waiting on?

Congrats again!

NickTW - Thanks. CBS is my top choice.

LB20, congrats to you as well. Did you get an email/call? Do you know if Kroll background check happens before/after deposit? Thx.

I got a call and an email. I am pretty sure the Kroll background check occurs after the deposit since it takes 8-10 weeks from what I've heard and the deposit is due in 3 weeks. Also--it's not on the Admitted Students site "to do list" so I have no info about Kroll other than what I've heard from previous applicants in ED.

Anyone else have any insight? It's a good question and I'm not sure.

If they review your application and dont send you an invite, does it say anywhere on the application page that you have been dinged?

From the last two pages it appears as though several people were dinged w/o interview, and I believe one of them said they were sent an "application update e-mail." Since that point I've checked both my e-mail and the log-in site and there hasn't been update for me. My app is still "under review."

I'm, like others, holding out hope, though at this point I just don't understand how they couldn't have made a decision yet either way. I'm assuming a ding unless I hear otherwise.

Submitted 1/6, and I believe my app went under review in approx. the same time frame as others in that period.

I'm in the same boat as you Drew. I still have hope though, albeit a small one!

Just got an interview invite (I didn't go under review until Feb 1).

For the purposes of the roll call, my name was changed from "Keatsol" to "KBCalifornia"

Thanks!

Congrats KBCalifornia! Would you mind sharing your profile? Does Columbia have a hard end date like Wharton?
