For people who applied in early/mid October, if we haven't heard anything yet does it look like "Game Over?"

I wouldn't be so pessimistic. CBS says that an interview invite can come in at anytime and from my experience during this year's admissions cycle, that seems to be quite true.

Agreed. In fact, I am an ED applicant and had my interview today. Not over until it's over, as they say.

I submitted my application on the 22nd. The next morning my status changed to "application is being printed and prepared for review". It is almost 2 weeks later and my status has not changed. Is this normal?

I heard of people going under review in a week.

I was admitted to Columbia ED, sent them $6k as required, but am still shopping around and submitting a couple R2 apps. I know they asked that I withdraw all other applications, but if I got into HBS I would be pretty compelled to attend.

So aside from eating $6K, are there any tangible problems with bailing on CBS? Yeah it would lower their yield a bit, but they get my money and pick another highly qualified candidate from the pool.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Thanks

I think you are doing something against the ED agreement you signed. Though there's no legal action they can seek against you, they may still rescind your offer right now if they find out that you have already submitted R2 applications. I am not making any moral judgment here. But the consequences can be two-folded. If they find out between now and the decisions of your R2 schools, they can definitely rescind your offer. If they, after the R2 result is released, find out the fact that you applied to R2 schools and but didn't get into any, then you risk being expelled anytime during your attendance at CBS. Of course the risks are entirely dependent on their knowledge of your current action.

Talk about scaring someone. A lot of people have rescinded on the ED offer in the past. How will they find out he/she is applying to other schools? Yeah, it may not be a completely honest thing to do but please believe that these schools will not waste time in filling that spot once he/she lets them know he/she is not enrolling. Plus, they will laugh all the way to the bank with his/her 6k.

No one's feelings is really going to get hurt. These schools are manufacturing facilities.

Not sure there has been any movement for anyone yet this calendar year. Seems that there are a few outstanding ED applicants, in addition to deferred EDs and RDs...

No, one cannot apply simultaneously. Both degrees accomplish different things and are for different career paths. Not knowing which one to apply shows a lack of career focus (in adcoms eyes).

I don't have a link at the moment but I remember reading you can only apply to full-time or EMBA, not both.

How does a RD get deferred? An RD has been pushed already to Round 2?

What have deferred ED people done with CBS - more R2 apps, watching time by, etc.? Does anyone know when CBS will get back in touch with the deferred?

I meant those as two separate things, I guess I should have put a comma in between, "deferred EDs, and RDs"

Hi, Columbia deadline is supposed to be Jan 5th but it doesn't specify a time. Does anyone know what the latest one can submit for RD (and consideration for merit). Would that be end of day on 5th..sometime midday on 5th..or worse..end of day today?!

My application went under review today. I submitted on Christmas, so I'm surprised at how short it took. Now the waiting game.

Got an e-mail today saying that my application status has changed. I logged in, expecting to see that it went from submission to complete. I was really surprised that it went under review. This confirms my earlier belief that submitting before new year's has a big difference in terms of how long it takes before your app goes to review.
