Designstory, sorry about the waitlist. Hopefully you'll get off of it and if not, it looks like you have some other great options. Since we have a pretty similar timeline, would you mind sharing your stats/story? Thanks.

sure, 27/F/700 47Q 39V/3.7 double major top 5/ 5 yrs WE high-tech engineer/project management

I should add that my app wasn't the best. I started this whole process late October (i.e. started researching schools) and took the GMATs after studying for two weeks in December. Not the best idea. Well, if I get rejected all around this year, at least I will have a more normal and sane timeline for the next!

Haha, that's actually hilarious. I was the exact same way. I studied for about two weeks for the GMAT and put minimal time into my apps as well and I thought my Columbia application was garbage. I'm surprised I'm still in the running. Hopefully one of my schools will pan out for me, because I don't feel like re-applying next year.

Same. I am so ready to move on! I've been contemplating quitting my job and doing something else for a year, but it'd kind of nice having the income....

@ those accepted from CBS (or those who just know): Does CBS call, or do admits simply receive an email notifying them that their status has changed?

I applied 2/5, was invited to interview 2/25, interviewed 3/5, "interview complete" on 3/26 (interviewer took forever)...and now awaiting a decision. Seems like it took most people 2 weeks from "interview complete" to decision, so I am expecting an update soon.

the outlaw fades.... where are you leaning at this point? you have some excellent options. Also... I am from Buffalo GO BILLS

Awesome! I'm a Steelers fan but I work with the Bills as part of my job at the bank so I'm always cheering for them too.

I'm about 50/50 between Ross and Duke at the moment. Both plus Darden offered a lot of money too. I visited Duke two weeks ago for their admit weekend and I'm going to Ross' this weekend. We'll see where I'm leaning on Sunday after I get back from Michigan.

Just curious - why is NYU not part of your consideration? i noticed that in your admit list. would like to know your thoughts since being in NYC (or close to it) is a big factor in my choice of schools. Thanks!

For anyone reading this part of the thread, I replied with a PM. If you're also interested in my answer, feel free to shoot me a PM as well. Didn't want to clog up this thread with my responses on unrelated schools.

It's a nerve-wrecking email that CBS has "rendered a decision". It took them a month to get back to me after interview went complete.. The wait was excruciating, so I know what you are going through.

On Monday it will be 2 weeks since the interview went complete. Are majority of the decision out already? Is there a point in giving CBS a call to see where things stand?

Well, considering that I have yet to submit my application, I think you're in a much better position than I.

SerialAcquirer - The later it got in the application season, the longer it has taken for applicants to hear back. Many people didn't get a final decision for +4 weeks after their interview went complete. I wouldn't hassle the admissions committee by checking up on your application when it has only been 2 weeks - they're just going to tell you to wait.
