after today's scare, i think CBS needs to re-word their emails

. i just got one today that said "Dear XXX - The Admissions Committee has rendered a decision on your application to Columbia Business School. Please log on etc. etc.".

I froze, not knowing what to do since I thought they somehow already either admitted or dinged me. I logged on, my heart pounding, but all it said was my app was under review. :oops:

That would totally have scared me too. What's weird is that I didn't get any emails like that when my status changed to "under review". I wonder if that's because I submitted before the review day started? Odd.

Anyway--glad to hear they didn't make snap decisions about you guys

LOL. I would have reacted the same way. When do you really think we will start hearing from CBS (RD decisions/interviews)?

Can anyone give me an idea how realistic is the fellowship? I can still apply to columbia but it says I will not be eligible for fellowship. Any estimate how many students actually get fellowship?

Wow that decision email would have been scary. I am glad my email (on Jan 3rd after Dec30 submission) just said that the status has changed.
Looks like the admissions/interviews are rolling in, keeping my fingers crossed.

Hello everyone, I submitted my application on the deadline day- half an hour before deadline. My last recommender submitted recommendation today- 12. Yesterday my application's status was received- not submitted. is this what CBS does? They have never e-mailed me about my status change of application.

Westew, I was in a similar situation. I spoke with the AdCom office and they told me that the letter of rec (mine was submitted on the 11th) would likely be included into our applications due to our the closeness of our submissions relative to the final deadline. They process applications in the order in which they were received (unlike Stanford where it's random and hence no guarantee). Mine now says Submitted and "Your application is now being printed and prepared for review."
