Hello,

I'm here to share a good news with all applicants. Like patspan, I got a call from adcom last week. Then, I got into J-term. I bet it's the best sound I heard in my life. I think they start to admit students recently. So just be patient.

FYR, I applied ED last year and dinged without interview.

Congrats! I suppose that is one positive with how grueling and frustrating this process is -- when you get in it's that much sweeter!

Hey Enya, sent you a PM. Cheers.

congratulations patsfan and enya1122!!

lawgonebusiness, i'd say seeing some movement from adcom is better than none, even if it's for j-termers and not ED-ers. at least now we have a better idea of where we are in the queue instead of completely being in the dark.

Do they normally send out their decisions in the morning or afternoon?

Friends - I just finished my interview and as everyone expressed it's very informal. Mostly revolved around the school fit, contribution to the class and sustainability.

Let me know if you need any more details; More than happy to contribute.

KC

Had a few questions - thanks for posting!

- Can you go over the interview schedule? (ie, where was it, who was it with, how long was the interview, how did it end?)
- Any oddball questions or something you didn't expect to hear?
- At the end, did you have any questions for the interviewer?
- What was the "sustainability" thing about?

I met my i/v'er at his office and overall it was more like a discussion, which went for 70-75 minutes.
Last 20 minutes was spent answering the questions I had; In the end he offered me his card to keep in touch for any other ques.
Nothing un-expected....mostly questions related to Why MBA? Why Columbia? Any other schools? Leadership (this went for 15 mins)?
Work-Life balance and Ex-curriculars?

Good Luck @mba2013

Cheers,
KC

Wow. It's such a black box. Do they mainly send out stuff on Fridays or what?

What do you all make of the new CBS application request (optional) to upload a picture of yourself? I can't figure out the rationale behind CBS adding this this year. Do any other schools do this?

Personally I'm going to do it because it seems like a good idea to complete all aspects of the application, optional or otherwise.

insead has it required. I think they might do it to make sure you are not lying about your gender/ethnicity etc. there's no 100% proof but it is known that some minority groups like hispanics get higher consideration because of the lack of the applicants in the pool... or they can just do it for fun...
