Does CBS call if you've been waitlisted or if they need additional information? Just saw that I have a message from Friday morning.

Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I don't think admissions consultants are extremely necessary unless someone with good work experience, GMAT, and ECs doesn't get any love from any schools. This is the perfect case where an admissions consultant can find out what's going on. It may be the essays.

Also, you applied 1/17 or went under review 1/17? If you applied 1/17, how'd they look at your app already?! Applied 1/6, Under Review 1/27, and still waiting.

hey, i can look at your essays and CV and chat with you on the phone for a few minutes. I may be able to give you some insight which may help if you decide to reapply.

i got into Northwestern and have received interview invites from all the schools i applied to. pm me if interested.

Guys, I was waitlisted at Columbia back on Feb 1st. Do you have any idea what are my chances of getting accepted? Somehow, I get the feeling that it is a tough place to be.

Is anyone deciding (decided?) between Booth and Columbia? What were your thoughts going into this decision? I'd appreciate any insight anyone has on this.

My second cousin went to Booth and I visited it. Its a great school, no doubt about that, but what made me choose CBS was the community. I don't believe that Booth has the cohort system (may be wrong), and I definitely didn't feel like the MBA program was as cohesive as CBS. Chicago's campus is also a little scattered like NYU's, and I wanted to go to a single campus in a big city, which CBS offers.

These are odd things to compare, but at such a high level, sometimes you're reaching for small variations.

I'm sorry to hear about your ding. You went under review the same time I did - so it looks like I can start worrying about receiving the ding email sooner rather than later. Arg.

I'm not sure how they're doing things now since I applied 1/6 and went under review at 1/27. A lot of folks who went under review a few days after me are getting decisions. Oh well. I have other heavy things on my mind to keep me occupied while I wait.

Could it be that those who applied in late Dec/early Jan and haven't heard back yet are now being compared to people who applied later? And decisions will be made now partially on that basis?... I'm completely speculating, but it seems like that could be a rational way to go about it

When you get a ding does the email subject say your account status has been updated or a decision has been rendered?

Beton, you've probably called back by now but if you haven't, from what I've seen on this forum, there's only 2 reasons people get called (both are good though!):
1) Your interviewer may have missed an essential question so the Adcom wants to talk to you and clarify it. This means that they are very interested in you but just prepare your answers well.
2) You got in :)

Either way, it means the Adcom liked you! Let us know how it pans out!!

Yup, I interviewed on 2/24 and am still waiting (system went complete on 3/1). Looks like some people have been at interview complete much longer than I have, so I can't complain. Still, this wait is killer..

When did you interview?

Is it a good thing or a bad thing if the committee follows up with a question for you via email? I went interview complete on 2/14, got an inquiry about a week ago, quickly responded, and got a thank you and now haven't heard anything. They said I should be hearing soon, but all is silent. Any ideas of whether or not I can infer anything from this?
