Calling All CBS 2011 Applicants!!

Very early once the app went live.

Hi Guys,

I understand the deadline for ED is Oct 6th. Are there any differences in chances if i apply on the Oct 6th and if i apply earliar, say middle of August?

Took mine 28 days after it went completed.



Cool! And actually I checked my last and took 3 and a half week to get one, so you were right...

Now I am starting to feel some pressure, though I'm not supposed to have any interview I am feeling I should get a feedback anytime in the next two weeks...

Rolling process means first in first served so yes, there are differences in chances if you apply on the deadline or middle Aug...

How does one know when the application is "under review"? I submitted my late on June 30 pacific time (July 1 eastern time) but I don't even see the "Submitted" in the legend box when you log into the application page being crossed off. I know it's submitted because everything on the application has said that it's successfully submitted. I was just wondering what you should see when the application is actually under review.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

Count me in for ED. I'm aiming to have my app submitted by middle of the month.

Question: On Columbia's online app, it asks you to upload an "unofficial" score report. Did you guys skip this part and only listed your scores in the text boxes provided?

I only have my official test-taker copy of my score report in a PDF file, is that what I'm supposed to upload?

Roll Call Updated

I uploaded the official score, since I saw no harm in doing that. I also provided the numbers in the text boxes.

hi guys, my app was under review at Jun. 4th and got interview yesterday. Hope can arrange it asap. Good luck to us all!!

How many ED applicants have got an invite? other than hazay?

Any signature questions for the itw at CBS ?

So far CBS strategy of the super early round is working on me. I didnt start any other applications. From what I understood from last year topic, once you are interviewed in ED, it goes really fast to get an answer.

my consultant has a good writeup of CBS interview stuff on his blog: https://adam-markus.blogspot.com/2009/10 ... lumni.html

good luck and if you could post details of the interview when you're done (please), we'd all really appreciate it

Hi, there
What I did not get is that for the entry in September, except the early decision, there are two options which are (or maybe one because I did not understand the merit fellowship consideration deadline);

Merit fellowship consideration deadline: January 5, 2011

Regular Decision application deadline: April 13, 2011.

So, if I do not choose the ED path, for a entry in September would I be eligible for a fellowship ?

anyone know how important GPA is in the whole package for CBS?
2.7 and 3.3 for me according to the cal. method on CBS website. Will it be major problem?

Also, if my career goal is not related with Finance, what the chance to get an interview/ even a place at CBS?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone,

I just started on Gmat Club, impressed with the lot of activity on CBS forums. Count me too for CBS ED.

You have to submit by Jan 5, 2011 if you want to be considered for merit fellowship, regardless of RD or ED. If merit fellowship is not an issue for you, then you can either do ED or RD and for this latter you can submit until Apr 13, 2011 (though one piece of an advice is to submit way before Jan 5 even if you're going down the RD road).



As per tests and GPA you should check latest class profile (and look for top 80%).

As per finance career, I think that B-School are more concerned with alumni employment rates and post MBA salaries. Given the particular times we are living in I presume they won't give you a minus if you're not interested in a finance career as long as you are trying to have a career in a "solid" sector where you won't have problem getting a job and a good salary. But again, that's just my though.

Any movement today? Another friend of mine got an interview invite on friday, luckly enough I don't have to receive one myself, I'm already way too stressed ...

Another J-term applicant ?

Yep, all from my very same country (which is quite bad for me as there are very few chances based on stats that we're all gonna make it - the three of us).

Fingers crossed anyway!!!!
