Arbitrageur
NZOMNIAC
I have applied to Harvard, Wharton , Booth and Kellogg in Round 2 and was planning to CBS as safe option? Do you guys think its too late or I have a decent chance?
My profile is - 27/M/710/Indian / Working in US (Management consulting) for 5 yrs /Undergrad at IIT 8.38/10
Decent extracurriculars
Columbia is not a safe option for anyone unless you're an absolute rock star. Their acceptance rate is lower than every school on your list except Harvard. For regular decision, the acceptance is closer to 10%. VERY tough to get into. A lot of people i know at booth and kellogg were actually dinged at columbia.
I did some research on the net and found that TOEFL is big deal for
CBS this year. Given that TOEFL scores take 25 days to arrive after
taking exam and only then application is considered complete for
review is a new insight . I think I am going to postpone CBS
application for Jan 2012 admission and start praying for
Harvard/Wharton/Chicago/Kellogg interview calls.
