Your app is most probably going to be in the "under review" status at least for a month.. so chill :)


Wow, it's going to be an intense month! My application went into "under review" on Friday, and I'm already pretty jittery.

If J-term applicants have been waiting for 6 weeks, we S-termers appear to stand quite a minor chance of hearing back any time soon..

What date did you submit? At the deadline (Oct. 6th) or before?

I submitted a few hours before the deadline and my application went "under review" last week.

I was placed 'under review' October 3. On a different note, it looks like the interview percentage at Columbia has dropped. Business Week states 36% of all applicants were interviewed in 2009. In previous years, I think about half of applicants were interviewed. If 15% of applicants are accepted, this means to me if you receive an interview invite you stand about a 42% chance of being accepted. I know 42% isn't a big percentage, but it is heartening to know that an interview invite means you are almost a coin flip chance of being accepted.

On the statistics topic, does anyone has an opinion on what is the average chance of acceptance once you are waitlisted (particularly in the J-term)?

Hi,
I submitted my ED application on the day of deadline, too. As I live in +12 hours timezone from NY, I sent my application on the morning of Oct 6th. One of the recommendation was sent after my application submit, but well before the deadline.

Sit tight!

I'll be applying regular decision. Love the fact that CBS has two essays that focus on the core/most important aspects of the application. Good luck to all!

Hi Guys,

Just received my TOEFL score and will be sending it to CBS to help complete my application. I am little disappointed with the score, which is 107.

Reading 26
Listening 29
Speaking 27
Writing 25


I am particularly unhappy about writing score. I have 6.0 in AWA in GMAT.

Do you think this score is good enough for CBS.

Sure!! Specially with the 6.0
Go for it

Btw, CBS says you must have taken the test prior to submitting your application. I saw in the sheet that you are an ED applicant, so I guess you were either pushed to RD or you have not submitted it yet.

Thanks that is encouraging. :)

CBS has a very specific TOEFL requirement, which has confused many including me.
My application at present is incomplete. Once they receive the score they will put it under review. I had communicated this before I applied and they agreed to allow me to submit the application as an ED candidate and mentioned that they will deem it complete only when I submit the score.

Just sent them the scores. Hope to see the app under review soon.
