Probably WL people are still waiting. I am just guessing.

I've lived in U.S. for more than 10 years, but until u guys pointed out, I didn't know Labor Day was coming 
I would expect ED cycle to be in full swing (I mean FULL!!), but BW forum looks quiet as well. But if you need something to take your craziness away, please go to BW forum. Some admission consultants creating fake ID to applaud themselves is too funny to miss.
Or work on essays for other schools. While I don't like CBS being kinda slow for its rolling admission, doing app early gave me a platform to start with. That, I thank you CBS. Now, invitation please.

I went to the CBS info session on Monday. Here's my report:
- there were 3 adcom members there, but one guy did all the talking (the other two just started working)
- he said that essay 1 is the most important essay and suggested that it's the core of the application
- he went on at length about the importance of your goals being believable and realistic. In particular he painted a gloomy picture for career switchers and emphasized that if your goal is to change industries (esp anything finance) you'd better have a really good story about how you're going to do it. I was somewhat surprised by how much he harped on this.
- someone asked if there is anything different in the admissions process/philosophy under Mary Miller, and he said that the only change is that she's brought in a mandate to increase the # of veterans in the program
- he said that by the merit fellowship deadline in January they receive about 80% of the total applications for the year
- he said that about 60% of the J-term class are international students
- I asked him what motivated them to begin asking for a photo with the application, and he said he has no idea, but he only looks at it for 2 or 3 out of every 10 apps
- I asked how many people have been admitted so far for ED but he declined to give an answer.
