How long has it been since he responded? and have you completely communicated your situation to him?


He responded last Friday saying we can do this Friday. I sent a follow-up on Tuesday and then again this morning. I also need to put the date and time in the system to confirm with CBS and I believe they will send him my resume and possible other interview material.

I have told him I am out of town M-Th, but did not mention I was flying back just for this interview. The initial date and times he had proposed were fine, I am just concerned since I have not heard from him in about a week to confirm our interview that is tomorrow.


Wish I had the answers for this one. I am also waiting to hear back from my potential interviewer. I've moved onto the 2nd one and am hoping that he responds today. This has been somewhat frustrating / nerve-racking.

Ok dudes let me clarify here... the digital copy (the two page you get in email) is what I submitted.. I simply deleted second sheet that had the school listing and submitted the first.. I only took gmat once and, while I finished verbal with 18 minutes left and could of bumped score if I took again, I was ok with a 710.

Anyway, goodluck on some calls today guys & gals.



"Could of"? You mean could have. Not so sure taking verbal again would have been the best idea. :P

Hey all,
Don't you think that ethics and ethical behaviour is one of the main points to which schools pay a close attention??!
Don't you think that schools do not know that you apply to multiple schools at once?

My point is that if you remove the sheet indicating to which other schools you applied - it means that you are hiding something. It means that you provided incomplete GMAT report.
It means that you even if asked to disclose full information you don't follow the rule
Anyway the CBS's admition decision is binding, and if admitted you will know about it far before other decisions. So why to behave contrary to what is expected?!

I have attached the full report with all schools I have sent my scores to. I think that submitting a score to a number of schools does not mean that you will apply there. It is just shows your intention to apply. Not more.
But hiding a part of information shows an intention to behave differently from what is expected.



I only included the first sheet because the score is all the schools are looking for. I took the GMAT 2 years ago and I hadn't even thought about which schools I was going to be applying to so I picked the top 5 schools. I'm sure others who take the GMAT also put down schools before making a final decision on which schools they will eventually apply to. I would absolutely encourage excluding the second sheet because it has no relevance whatsoever. This is not a question about ethics.

Burned! My verbal is actually pretty top-notch... but why bother typing proper ... don't do it with colleagues through our messaging system either... funny how I would wager most of us had the best grammar skills of our lives during gmat prep / exam... then... 3 months later... cya!

just out of interest does anyone know of any other forum on the web (any language) that discuss Columbia MBA applications? I just want to manage my own expectations should interview invitations have already gone out to promising last minute ED applicants!

True, but I don't think I will ever forget some of the idioms I spent hours upon hours memorizing.

Thanks - I didn't know about this. Many of the ED applicants (who were accepted) got interviews anywhere between 1 day after submission to 1 month. Very helpful.

JUST GOT THE CALL!!!!!!


Congrats! where are you from / what program / what are your stats?


Hi folks,

what number (first 4-5 digits will do) are you getting the call from ?

My app switched to 'Under Review' status today morning (EST) and I missed a call from a 222-555-xxxx number at around 4:20.

That number appears more like a spammer dial than anything and the odds of getting a call or getting a call this quickly are rather remote, but I rarely get such calls and hope springs eternal!
