I submitted my application mid-end November. I can see that there are applicants who submitted after me who already have interview invites. Is it safe for me to assume that this is the end of my story at CBS ?

Columbia is pretty clear about the fact that, despite their rolling admissions for Regular Decision, you can get an interview invite at any point in the process. For example, if the 1st reader doesn't ask for an invite, but the 2nd does, just because your app went under review before someone that submitted later than you, doesn't mean that you will definitely get an interview invite before them. Everything I've read and then seen in this forum has shown that this is the case. That being said, I don't know if there's a threshold after which it's been long enough since you submitted that you can start to worry. But I'm going to guess you probably have some more time before you can start freaking out :) . I know, easier said than done, and I'm sure I'll be in the same boat as you if I don't hear in the next 2 weeks or so.

When do you think it is reasonable for those of us who submitted our app's last week of december/first week of january to look for invites?

Wow you guys are making me jittery and nervous. My philosophy is to worry about things only within your control. Go have a cold beer or a nice cup o'tea and chillax. I'm gonna hit the gym and rock on at work as the apps definitely took a toll on me with those endless, sedentary midnight writing sessions. With that said, wait a maximum of 2-3 months or until you get that status change email. Then start worrying :)

I am in the same boat as you are. I have seen that nobody, who has submitted between 11/10 through 11/30 has got an invitation yet. Not sure if this is because the apps are still being read or CBS did not find anybody worth inviting. I hope its earlier :-)

Part of me is in conflict about posting this since several people just posted bad news, but in the spirit of sharing when things happen (which I know I always appreciate), I just got invited to interview. I submitted my app on 12/31.

To those of you who have received not-so-happy news, good luck in the rest of your endeavors and I hope you get good news from another school!!!

WOW! Congratulations!
LB20, i dont know who you are but you definitely have to have one BAD-ASS profile. Stern accepted you in only a few weeks as well.

nikhilashri, HaroldPark - Bad luck guys, all the best for any other schools.

Congrats on the interview LB20. I submitted on the same day so am now starting to get anxious as well! Good luck and if you get a chance please provide feedback on your interview :)

Aww thanks guys. I appreciate it. I don't know if I have a bad-ass profile, but it would be nice to think so, eh? :)

I will definitely provide feedback on my interview whenever it happens. I am supposedly going to hear from Columbia within 24 hours about how to schedule it etc.

Grats LB20! Exciting to see people getting interviews that submitted in late December (I submitted Jan 04). We were on the exact same schedule with NYU if I remember right (even interviewed the same day) - here's to hoping for similar results for both of us at Columbia! Bets of luck with the interview!

To those of you who were not so lucky; sorry about the bad news, and best of luck with your remaining applications.

Congrats LB20. I submitted a day before you did (Dec 30th), and the application is still under review. So I guess I will hear a ding/interview within a few days.

don't forget, Columbia is one of the few top b-schools where the interview is optional. For all you know, you could be in already and just not know it yet! :)

I've been freakishly refreshing this page to get updates on how everyone else is progressing. I submitted my application on 1/6 and just received an email today that my app is under review. The nerves are kicking into high gear...
