lawgonebusiness, I would say to wait a few more days :P

I mean, even if he turns it in 2 weeks later, you would still be on the timeline to get the decision well before October.

Asking directly may calm you for a minute or two, but I think after five minutes, you will go "Oh, man, I hope I didn't piss him off."

Anxiety plus anxiety = serenity now insanity later :)


Totally true.

lawgonebusiness, can you please add the following to the first post? It's an important consideration for international students.

https://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/mba/learnm ... tion/loans
International students are only eligible to be considered for private loans with a U.S. cosigner. Loans without a U.S. cosigner are not available. Most international students rely on family funds, personal savings, government or company sponsorships and/or loans secured in their home countries.

Have been a bit depressed for a while after reading about all the IB/Consulting applicants (no offense xD) and their awesome backgrounds, but finally I decided that I would still give it a try on CBS and hopefully submit my application within ED.

Definitely will come back and learn/share more often!!

I see a lot of similarities between NYU Stern and CBS. Friends, can you please share your thoughts on the benefits of CBS Vs NYU Stern.(Community, academics, etc etc)

P.S - This discussion is not meant to discuss on the +ve's/-ve's of NYU Stern. I'd just like to share your thoughts on the benefits of CBS w.r.t its peers.


I asked this question on the Stern Fall 2011 forum and got a bunch of responses (1/2 way through Pg 2):
calling-all-nyu-stern-fall-2011-applicants-96629-20.html



Thanks w103psp. Nice data points.
Can someone comment on NYU Stern Vs CBS for a Strategy Consulting career (post MBA).

Stan, no school will fill their class with 50% IB/finance and 50% Consulting. It's more like 30% and 30%, with 40% for the rest. Or so we can hope! :)

The depression and name bring back memories of a certain music video that was popular in high school.

You haven't dyed your hair after your favorite adcom officer and written three or four letters (applications) without a response, right?

actually....according to the class profile of '11, about 50% come from finance, so that statement isn't exaggerated at all. Can't wait till they publish the class of '12 statistics though!

do you guys think It will be rude for me to inquire into whether he has submitted the report?


According the CBS web site, your interviewer will submit a report within 2 weeks. I guess it's fair game to inquire after 2 weeks.

Wow, you're right. Columbia incoming class is heavily skewed towards Finance! So they'll have only 28 students with an IT background (but not into consulting). Interesting!

E-Commerce/Internet................................................................................................1.5
Hardware/Software, Services/Telecommunications......................................2.0

Talk about a well-rounded and diverse class :roll:

I noticed that part too how they combined all the software/techie folk. It seems like they define "Consulting" , either as an industry or a functional area, to mean management or strategy consulting. That being said, I wonder where all the IT consultants (like me) go? I'm guessing in the small 2% category.

I did see some sites mention the 30/30/40 proportion but yeah it seems that more applicants from finance were admitted than before which kinda makes me worried as well

I have the same concern....I do a lot of the control audit on the IT side, and I had a hard time deciding whether to choose accounting/control or choose IT/IS as job function. I assume that's where they decide which "pool" to put you in...??
