If the quant is 65%, according to my score report (trust me, I've taken a few :-D

) it should be low 40s. Yes. I would take it again.

For hazay, I've seen from last year's thread (more times than I would like to) that ppl get into W/K/B (one or more of these) and rejected from CBS. My speculation but looking at those people's profiles, CBS do look at your GPA and GMAT more than other schools.

I got questions for those who submitted:

1. How did you do the "how are you gonna pay" section? I mean, I wouldn't know until I do my FAFSA. Is it just my estimate?

2. Have you guys gone to on or off-campus events?

Looking forward to some action in U.S.!!

For #1, I simply estimated. I don't think there's any way for students to know how much exactly and I think this is really just for an approximation. I don't see this question as a make-or-break deal, but rather just a question to understand where the student is coming from.

For #2, unfortunately, the off-campus events just started rolling around the corner. I've already submitted my ED application, but still would like to attend the off-campus at my city in August (unless CBS rejects me before then...). I'm on the exact opposite side of the country from NY, so I did not choose to visit the school.

Thanks Interesting and motivating to start the other applications.

Even the reason you gave as explaination would not help me

Can anyone update on the before-discussed "early" ED deadline in September? What is the deal with that?

Damn. This is a nail-biter even though I haven't even submitted mine yet

Was set on submitting my app by the end of July. Now rethinking it to go to admission event on 8/16 and then submit unless I see some action soon !!!

It's been 7 weeks exactly since mine went under review. I'd be very surprised if they ding me w/o interview....

Aren't you ED? I thought I read somewhere that they were getting reviewed in August. Oh, no I think it may have been the admissions video. But don't quote me.

CBS says they will start reviewing as soon as they receive an app, but as we ponder and speculate numerous times, the ED review seems to start in August. Thus, lawgonebusiness, c'mon man. Don't lose hope

Or maybe they will just take me in w/o interview hehe. This is my second ED application in 8 years. I got in the first time, so I hope this will work again.

Ignore me. I just watched the video again and it says they are currently reviewing EDs.

They are probably just taking their time. Other than hazay, no one else on this board or bzweek has received an invite for ED.

If the quant is 65%, according to my score report (trust me, I've taken a few :-D

I attended an on-campus event in mid-July. It was definitely worth the flight out to New York, and the information sessions were very informative. Sitting in on classes also helped provide a lot of perspective on the business school and how it functions. If you're serious about a specific school (like I am with CBS), then you should absolutely visit the school.

Question about the application. It asks how I will finance my MBA but I haven't submitted my FAFSA yet so I don't know the percentage coming from loans, scholarships, etc. What did people fill out for this?
