Quick question for the group -- once the interview is completed is there a status change to "awaiting interview feedback"? How long after the interview does that typically occur?

Thanks!

Doesnt happen. Your status goes from "you've been invited to interview" to "interview complete" once they receive feeback from interviewer

after the interivew, you wait for "interview complete." CBS says it can take up to 2 weeks.

So do we get that status update whenever the interviewer clicks "submit"? Even if its at like 10pm? Or is this something where Columbia deems it complete and then the status change occurs?

Thanks a ton.

Pretty sure Columbia has to receive the report and update your status. The interviewer clicking submit won't do it

I think it goes by when Columbia deems its complete.

What do you think is necessary to render it complete as far as the interview submission?

Printing it out and adding it to your file, I imagine.

Exactly, osbornecox.

I hope they print out my app in color and file it with a velvet folder. Well.. I DID pay $250

Just passed 3rd weeks. I plan to panic starting 4.5 weeks.

Serenity now. Insanity later.

agreed. i was very much hoping i would hear something by now to avoid having to work on Round 1 essays for other schools; there really isn't any other B-school i'm particularly excited about attending.

hdcdude - you've been quiet for awhile. have you heard anything at all yet?

I just got an email from CBS asking me to update my profile as the name in my online profile didn't match the one in my application. Turns out that the name in my profile had been truncated (first 4 letters of my first name, first 2 letters of my last name), and I'm sure I entered it correctly initially. I'm guessing this is why it's taking a while for my application to change to "under review".

Just a heads up to those who haven't submitted, double check your profile before you submit.

amakelikbe,

I'm following the discussion board, an (im)patiently awaiting a status change. Today, I completed 12 weeks after going "under review" for my ED application, and STILL no change in status.

I called CBS this morning, they said 12 weeks is "just a guideline", but that it can sometimes take longer. The person on the phone did not have any other information.

Not sure of what else to do. So, still waiting...

that sucks, hdcdude.

my best guess is that at this very early stage, it's probably easier for the board to evaluate candidates who have less common or underrepresented backgrounds or goals (because they won't see quite as many others like us in the ED pool) than otherwise strong candidates who are likely to appear similar on paper to ED candidates who have yet to apply. no doubt CBS is expecting many applications in the weeks ahead and they want to make sure they don't confer any particular advantage in the ED round to those of us who have already applied over those who have yet to submit their applications.

unless you have some particularly extraordinary/unusual achievements under your belt or work in a high-profile position (e.g. PE), if you're a white/asian/indian male coming from a traditional pre-MBA corporate background, you may have to wait quite awhile to hear from the admissions board, even if your GPA/GMAT are on the upper end of the spectrum. of course, that doesn't mean you're any less qualified for admission; there's just more competition, unfortunately. (though i still think you should get some props for applying in june!)
