Nope, I don't expect any $ from them. Another ? for the admitted: When do you send them official transcripts?

Congratulations josiebella! Did CBS provide you any information on $ package that they may be awarding to you?

Nope, I don't expect any $ from them. :evil:

Congrats! You send transcripts after you send your deposit and start the background check process.

I don't think anyone's heard about scholarships yet -- the website says they'll start notifying in February and again in April.

I submitted on Christmas day and went under review on 1/04. It seems like the earliest I'll get an interview invite, if I get one, would be around the 18th or so.

My friend just got the call yesterday.

She has a 640 GMAT. So proud of her.

That gives hope to the under 700 crew.

Congrats Josiebella! way to go gal

I have a question for all - is the "application complete" date relevant or "submission date"? I submitted mid Oct, but then got "incomplete" status as they wanted me to take TOEFL. I sent my score on 8Dec, and went "complete" couple of days after that. It reads "under review" now.

So should I consider that I will be considered for interview along with people from December or Oct? Havn't heard anything from them yet - starting to get a little disappointed. I put in the max effort in CBS app

Stern or CBS? no brainer, even with money on the table. Columbia, hands down.

They are pretty close in the rankings no?

Columbia = Ivy League = CAREER WIN!

Congrats to your friend. But it definitely is A LOT easier for women to get into top b-schools. A guy, especially a white or asian male, would have virtually no shot at columbia with that GMAT score.

Do you have any numbers to back up that statement? I can't find it for Columbia, but for Stern, the percentage of women applicants is 35% and the percentage of women in the class is 34%. So unless the yield for women is very different than the yield for men, it seems that the admission probabilities are the same. Here's the reference:

A friend from college works at the admissions office of a top b-school (not gonna disclose where), and he told me that women and non-asian minorities have a much easier time getting in. He did not give me exact numbers, but I take him at his word. This is also supported by all the people I know who applied and looking at their credentials and results, women definitely had an easier time.

Not taking anything away from them. I hope people do not interpret this as somehow being sexist. I'm merely describing what the situation is.

nothing sexist about it, just supply and demand.

To clarify, I wasn't implying sexism from anyone. But I have looked around for quantifiable verification of this frequent claim, and the most I have been able to find was a statistical analysis on a blog (which I can't find right now), which concluded that there might be a small advantage. I can easily believe that it was a large effect years ago, when the number of female applicants was much smaller, but it's not clear to me that it's still the case now (https://www.topmba.com/articles/applicat ... tions-GMAT), and I'd really like to find out one way or the other.
