question -

any instances where if ive applied in ED, adcom moves you to RD at their discretion for a valid reason? can a person submit an app both in ED and RD (this is probably a far-fetched question but i'm on pins and needles with the wait) ?

Only one application per year. And it sounds like they may waitlist EDs based on this: https://www.mba-rankings.com/columbia/

From my understanding, if you are waitlisted as ED, you are compared to the RD pool. Only difference is that your commitment is still binding. Because CBS is highly yield sensitive, I imagine being ED waitlist is still slightly better than being RD waitlist (if all else is equal), so it won't hurt you to have applied ED and then compared against RD.

I think if you're waitlisted ED and moved to RD, you are no longer Bound to ED rules. I can be wrong, but I think just being Waitlisted you're resolved from your responsibilies.

It appears that mid-term final exams have already passed (Oct 21-27). The 2nd half of the first term began on Nov 2nd/3rd and there will be Thanksgiving recess from Nov 25-29. Last day of classes for the term will be December 10th.

ED, dinged.

That's what I get for being 23.

Now contemplating other schools (NYU, Georgetown, Northwestern, Yale, UF, Maryland, et al), or waiting altogether...

When I read this I was like, "hey, I'm about 23!" and then I realised that was 2 years ago. But I feel more ready to go now - I guess it depends on the individual but 23 is pretty early for MBA. Work experience convinces the schools that you will have more to add to class discussions I guess.
