Hey everyone,

Submitted ED Sept 2011 application July 14, 2010. Received interview request July 30, 2010. Interviewed August 9th, 2010. Still waiting for interviewer to submit report.

3.9 GPA, 4.0 major (Finance) at top 20 public university
710 GMAT (44Q, 42V)
2 years Investment Banking, 2 years PE at matriculation (current)
On board of small charity I co-founded
Decent ECs

Biggest concern in my app is my weak Quant score on GMAT, but hoping strong performance in Finance major and IB/PE experience will overshadow that.

Will update as it comes

Hi All,

I've just started working on my Columbia application. Was planning on applying in the first week of October. Now I have my doubts on whether its better to apply after Oct 6th (in RD) as opposed to Oct 5th, and be in a really competitive ED pool. My assumption being that they must have a limited number of seats for ED, and Oct might be a little too late to compete for the remaining seats.

Or is it still better to apply in ED ?

Thoughts ?

It would still be better for you to apply ED. The way I see it is that if they like you during ED but don't have a seat for you, they will just roll your application to RD anyways. My 2 cents anways.

I don't think they have a hard number set for ED. If they like you, they'd be more likely to take you under ED than under RD, everything else being equal. 6K is good for them, and higher yield rate is a plus as well.

haha, i am literally DEALING with it. Well, I am preparing for other schools just in case. I found this whole timeline really bizarre, unless they are waiting till a specific date to start accepting ED people. Today marks my 11th week.... one and half weeks since my interview went complete.

Even I get a feeling that all the ED results will be out the same time.
Lets hope for the best. Meantime, I'm working on Tuck.

Good Luck

I went to a Columbia event last night and they said that unlike regular decision, early decision applications it makes no difference when you apply as long as it is by the deadline. With regular decision, the earlier you apply the better as spaces fill up, but she with with early decision it doesn't matter.
