This is getting insane with people re-sorting and messing up the spreadsheet. Talk about annoying.....

Got deferred. Also no email or phone call. I had to check my status after reading this forum. Kinda down, but it is what it is. I might have to wait till Feb 1st for a decision.

I figure the chances of getting in are slim, since I have to compete with all the regular rounders...

I hope no one has to play the waiting game. Good luck everyone!

Sorry to hear that. Were you ED or j-term?

Columbiawannabe, I don't see your info in the spreadsheet. Could you add yourself?

Pure speculation based on the spreadsheet ---- late july submits are in the on-deck circle....

Good luck everyone.

Tried adding myself once already and it got deleted when someone tried to sort, etc. I will re-add tomm.

Hey guys, so I had my interview with someone from admissions today, and it went incredibly well. It turned into more of a conversation, which was great. I was able to open up and crack a few jokes, and we talked about many things unrelated to Bschool.

Here are some questions I was asked:
1. Tell me about your choice to attend Cornell
2. What made you move to LA?
3. What kind of industries did you work with in consulting?
4. Why healthcare private equity?
5. In your app, you talk about start-ups and how you want to enter PE, so what do you want to do?
6 (Follow up). So, what kind of PE shop do you want to work with?
7. If IBD after Bschool doesn't work out, then what?
8. What are your thoughts on consulting?
9. (Best Q): you have alot on your resume. What do you think it leaves out about you?
10. What role did you play in the goldman sachs close?
11. how did the company change?

these questions were very very specific, which makes sense since she's read all my essays and had my app.

She made comments like "you clearly know what you want to do" and "you clearly know why you want to go to Columbia".

She had one last question for me, and that was where my nickname came from. She asked that out of personal interest. We also talked about the CBS follies, and sports injuries.

My tip: be yourself! Make it a conversation. Enjoy the conversation and it will pay off.

My guess: you get discussed at the thursday committee meeting (conjecture on my part) and get admitted with the Friday admits (conjecture on my part). It seems like thats what they are doing lately...

As much as I'd love to get in, I can't say yet whether it's going to happen. I think it most likely will (not to be boastful, but the interview went far better than I had thought it could), but we'll see. i'll keep you guys posted!

One thought on the spreadsheet. I think it makes sense that only people who have submitted their info to the spreadsheet should have access to it. I don't know if this is doable in GoogleDocs -- does anyone know?

Thoughts?
