For those interviewed, how long after the interview feedback was submitted did you hear the result?

Just got denied without interview.

It seems that you need to apply CBS early to get a better chance of getting in. I applied last minute on 1/7.

Good luck to ones who are still waiting!

anyone has been dinged after an interview? or it's common to be accepted if they interview you? I am a bit nervous as my report was submitted 10 days ago.

I applied on 25/Jan, couldn't make it before, was drowning in work :( I know scholarships are out of the way, but admit wise, is there really no hope for me? When should I expect a response from CBS?


Can't offer insight on chances of admission, but this is Columbia's stated policy on review timing: "For all terms of entry, our goal is either to invite applicants for an interview or deny admission within six weeks of a completed application being received. Our goal for interviewed applicants is to render a final decision within two weeks of the interview report being completed." https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/programs-admissions/mba/admissions/application-process/review-process

Best of luck to you!


Thanks! I'll keep you guys posted :) Till then, best of luck to everyone!

based on data from the detailed applicant table on page one

32/50 of those interviewed were admitted (64%)
18/50 denied with interview (36%)

Hard to say how accurate these numbers are though as people may be less likely to report a ding vs an admit

Are those stats exclusively for the full-time MBA? I was looking for similar info for the EMBA Saturday program.

Anyone who hasn't received anything at all since submitting an app on 1/7?

From what I read, the more delayed the mail, the more likely to be a ding.

Anyone getting any invites on Thursday/Friday?

Not many 1/7 applicants have heard back - and most have been dings.
I don't have much faith anyway, but I don't think the wait is reflective of a higher chance of being dinged.
