Hi dw21, thank you very much for this. Without revealing too much about your friend for privacy reasons, can you share with us his timeline (ie. when he applied, when he was waitlisted, when he eventually was accepted)?


My friend is currently enrolled - class of 2012. He was admitted last year off the waitlist so i'm not sure of his time line. Sorry.

might sound silly but does anyone believe there is a chance for getting in if anyone applies from this point onwards?


P>0, but its obviously not as good as it would have been had you applied 6 months ago. That being said if you've cured cancer or have some other interesting/compelling story in addition to being a stellar candidate then there very well may be a spot for you in the class.

Right, I figured that he was currently enrolled, I just thought maybe you knew when he eventually got off the waitlist and if he had applied in a normal timeframe (early Jan). I am dreading the wait :) Thanks anyways!

Don't hold your breath. It's amazing to me that they wouldn't expedite someone's review after 16 weeks.

Submit: 12/10
Invite: 1/4
Interview: 1/14
Complete: 1/18

Still waiting.

I'm guessing they'll see how many February-March admits opt for HBS, Stanford etc over the next two weeks. After the 4/15 deposit deadline, I bet we start to see more movement one way or the other.

16 weeks though...cruel and unusual.

I can't see there being much overlap with Stanford, but I guess there could be with HBS.

Wow...so little activity lately. I figured with all the other programs releasing decisions last week and this week we'd hear something from CBS. I'm not sure what they're waiting for. Admit weekend? Deposit day? gcap you've been essentially on an unofficial waitlist!

Complete: 3/4/11

no activity on this in 4 days?? went interview complete on around 21 March (didn't get an email, might have been the 18th March). Is it too wishful thinking for me to hope to hear back kinda soon...? Has anyone heard anything in past few days?

No action here.

Is there any substantive difference between our current state and being on the CBS waitlist? Why have some been waitlisted and others just told to wait?

I'm wondering the same thing.. I've been complete since 3/1 and not sure what's going on at this point. Is this the unofficial waitlist..?

Columbia Connect II begins this Thursday. I doubt there will be any movement this week, as they are probably very busy preparing for the admit weekend. Also, most people's deposits are due 4/15. You will probably see decisions pick up after that.

Does anyone know the process (if there is one) to receive ding feedback if we never even received an interview invite? Thanks.

Do you have a source behind this? I am on the WL as well.
