if it makes you feel any better, i submitted (for ED) on June 27th and still have not heard anything back

Can anyone comment on how long it took for their status to go from "being printed" to "under review"?

And whats the range of times for getting an interview for J-term? Did anyone get an interview after say...3 weeks?

some interesting data from https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key ... l=en#gid=0 For the ED applicants in that spreadsheet, about 43 of them got an interview invite and out of 43, 30 of them were accepted, and 3 of them were deferred and the rest did not report the final decision. So if we just get rid of those who didn't report the final decision, then out of 33 interviewed applicants for ED, 30 of them were accepted... the odds are overwhelming. hopefully it means something.

I spoke on the phone with a friend of a friend who just completed the Value Investing program. He said that there were ~120 applicants and 40 get in. So, yes it's pretty tough. He basically said if you do anything but buy-side value oriented investment management in your summer internship, you will not get accepted to the program. He suggested that I volunteer at a fund both during school and in the summer, be heavily involved in the CIMA, etc. etc. He also suggested not making the Value Investing program the main focus of your application as CBS doesn't want a bunch of unhappy folks that come to Columbia for the program and then don't get in. Just his two cents.
