Yeah, mine was complete on the 17th, feeling around the same. It's weird, I haven't hear of anyone from J-term who applied at the deadline and interviewed get a decision back, although the ED people who applied around the same time have already gotten decisions. I called admissions and got much of the same, even though 8 weeks puts us at December 1st, which sounds unlikely.[/quote]

Rats. Shall we postulate that because it's J-term, most of the slots were filled before deadline, and CBS are now filtering through the slew of applicants chasing after the remaining few?[/quote]

I actually submitted a couple of weeks before the deadline. But I certainly hope that isn't the case, even though it probably is.

Sorry to hear about the dings, everyone.

I was dinged last spring and it really burns, especially if you've put your heart and soul into the app

one thing you could do is grow a mustache this month for Movember, especially if you don't have additional interviews coming up

ahhhhhhhh this 06 barossa region shiraz is delicious. they might just be cutting out us 'dead weight' today before they move on to analyzing the next slew of apps so dont feel too bad :) im in good spirits at least until i get dinged by tuck booth and sloan where upon ill begin to drink heavily. i got accepted to UT with $$$ (about half off) last year and got waitlist dinged by columbia in non-ed so trying to work a bit more on my happy zone and research more schools that may be better fitting if worse comes to worse :D

not sure if this makes you feel any better, but I heard somewhere that cbs was flooded with reapps this year. I think there was a pretty decent success rate last yr for reapps, which led to much higher volume for folks like us that were otherwise qualified and just the numbers were against us this year. Best of luck on the other schools...Im going through the same process...

Anyone know if there is a specified essay format for Columbia (font, paragraph indentation, etc)? What's standard if it's not specified?

No format. Other schools typically require a 12-font, with either 1.5 or double line spacing.

its a lot less work I must say than writing 3 essays. I think CBS looks for pragmatism and if as a re-app you can say why you did what you did and why last year it was not correct for you, it shows you are willing to take responsibility for your failure and yet making your candidacy. my 2 cents ofcourse.
