a) I would definitely send the email.
b) A backup plan to this job could be volunteer work. Maybe think about something you are passionate about, and include that in the email as well as a backup plan to this job if you don't land the offer.
c) I'm glad you got a call cause I am also in purgatory land (interview complete oct 26) and want to hear something. Maybe they are starting to get moving on decisions for those of us waiting.

In my opinion, I would try to secure the offer ASAP and inform AdCom about your new venture to show that you are addressing the 9-mo gap. You want to show that by doing this venture you are continually making improvements, will strengthen your MBA candidacy, and improve your 'hirability' after graduation, thereby reiterating your strong interest in CBS.

To those who applied at the last day (ED), don't give up, I just got the interview invitation.

I am not in the PE or IB, only normal 4 yr industry background.. so I believe most of you guys will also have chances to get the interview

Do you think sending a mail reiterating why we applied to CBS in the first place may help our chances?

Or is that a sign of desperation?

From the looks of it..if they dont get back to you in a month..its pretty much over?

Hi All - I just received my acceptance phone call yesterday evening. I applied 9/22 and my app went under under review on 9/29. I received an invitation to interview on 10/25, interviewed on 10/28 and was complete on 10/29. Best of luck to all those waiting for a response.

Looks like CBS has sneaked in admits here and there on a daily basis. Looks like 60-70 admits have been given out. guestimating here..

When did your application status change to 'under review'?

Hi..This might me out of context, but I am just wondering whether CBS has started inviting non-ED applicants too for interview. I am a Regular Decision applicant, and kind of concerned...thank you for the information!

Did I understand correctly that CBS does NOT require official GMAT score sent before the admission? In other words, a self-reported score is enough at the time of application? Despite this, they seem to require that the TOEFL score be reported officially with application...?

I understood it the same as you, that GMAT scores do not need to be submitted until post admission. Don't know about toefl though

I think I'll tell my friends to call me from blocked numbers all day today, just to experience the thrill of seeing it pop up on my phone.
