I am thinking invites and admits will trickle over the next 2 and then a bunch of dings before they start RD.

bw rankings are probably a result of a bad computer program some douche wrote. SMU had 565 applicants and its average GMAT is 640, that's like a third-tier toilet. NYU, on the other hand, has 4500+ applicants and average GMAT is around 710. BW should debug the crap out of its program before publishing this laughingstock.

that's precisely what bw rankings don't care about. Bwrankings are basically a customer satisfaction survey, which might explain why school networks that value team culture over others (like kellogg) do better than most in these rankings. I don't think bw is a function of GMAT, acceptance rates, etc.

Yeah, BW rankings are more about how happy you are with the program. US News and World Report are more about how successful you are. SMU is 12 in BW, 49 in US News. Read into that what you will.

Waitlisted for J term!!Re: Calling All CBS 2011 Applicants!! [#permalink] New post   12 Nov 2010, 01:27
Is that insane?! The email says that it can be as late as Dec,15 to hear from them.

Applied to J term class of 2012, submitted on Oct.6, interviewed invite Oct. 20, Interview complete on Nov.5, a decision was rendered today and i got waitlisted. I think i am hopeless given the class will start soon. Feel very bad now! Crying!!

I saw that about 120 people already joined the J term class of 2012 facebook group (size: 180 in total). I assume that they will only have no more 10 spots open at this point. Anyone recently got off the j term waitlist? Any advice will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Thank You..I checked on FAQs...December is what they say. But December is 31 days :(
Best wishes to all of you...if it helps, remember that the wait and the associated pain is common!

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!


Mandy, I'm under the impression that Columbia won't even begin to review RD applications until December, so no interview invites.

I'm beginning to be a bit concerned about my chances for interview (submitted on 10/6) but seems like from the spreadsheet there are a bunch of people in the same boat (with seemingly very strong profiles, to boot).

No emails for me. Still waiting on that interview invite. I'm finding solace in the fact that there are so many people on that spreadsheet who applied around the same time as I did and haven't gotten an interview either. I hope we all hear something soon. The suspense is killing me!

Hey guys,

So I found a 2009 ED spreadsheet on BW:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key ... yAiQ#gid=0

It's somewhat incomplete, but at least you can reference it for many examples of how long it takes to be invited for interview as well as receive a decision post interview.

I think the rule of thumb (now don't quote me for saying this because I'm beginning it with "I think") is within 2-7 weeks, you'll hear about an interview. If you don't get a notification about an interview, things may be looking a little bleak so you'd want to focus on the CBS app and determine perhaps why you didn't get the interview and make sure it doesn't happen with any other schools you're looking to apply to.

For Columbia, is the interviewing a final decision factor on whether I get accepted, ie. everyone who gets an interview invite start from scratch. Or my entire application gets reviewed again, so interview is just one component of the decision making process?

Would appreciate anyone's feedback.

I had mine today, i say it went well, nothing came out of the left field, it felt more like a conversation, didn't get asked the question on ethics, which I thought was bizarre.
