I've been working on my other apps since May, so I am definitely not counting my chickens before they are hatched.

Guess you can go ahead and stop working on those other apps :wink:

Nice, congrats! So based on our sample size of 2, being contacted by the adcom for further info is a very positive thing!

Thank you everyone. I am not going to pursue any other application. I am going to CBS. It's my alma mater after all. I will still be around here to update the roll call!

I just wanted to throw this out there... CBS has many more open internship offers and job openings than there are students. The 61% does not measure the number of students that were able to get a job, it measures the number that had decided upon which offer they were going to take, among other things that knock it down. Goldman and McKinsey (or whichever top industry firm) can't hire EVERYONE and people get stuck on that. There are also students that decide to recruit exclusively for the top 2 or 3 firms in their industry and have no backup plan if they don't get in (thus, no offer by graduation). Columbia's career management center is amazing. Don't rely too heavily on those statistics. It's not what business school is about. It has to be the RIGHT FIT, and a top school in the largest city in the US is a pretty amazing place.

Very cool place, and even cooler picture. Please tell me that CBS has a 99 year lease on that beautiful vessel and it's available for private parties. Thanks.

I wish I could :) They do offer some AMAZING trips during the year though (associated with various clubs). Also, a big CONGRATS to all of the recent admits!

Alternatively, please tell me that YOU have direct command over that vessel and you're willing to strike up a deal. I can pay you in chocolate omelettes.

I think being an undergrad alum gives you some edge, especially if you are applying ED.

I received a call. Judging by the application process for 2010 entry, it looks like they call a majority of the early acceptances and all of the ED applicants that get in. However, as the process goes along, you can get notified of an acceptance via email.
