CBS Decision Procedure Mr.Matthew Moll, Associate Director(CBS) " Our goal is either to deny admission or invite for an interview or 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. It is our goal that all reviews are within these timelines. I suggest that candidates reach out to us if their application is outside of the six week timeline, but before doing so they should check their application status page for their complete date . Regarding the interview, it is two weeks from when the interviewer has submitted the interview feedback, not the date of the interview, so applicants should keep that in mind as well.

I sent email to one of my interviewers to schedule the interview on Sunday morning, but she hasn't replied me yet. When I want to move on the next interview, I just realized that I need to wait for 2 business days, right? Not just two days?

yes, two business days, not two days.

But to be honest, it's fine if you send an email to another interviewer. You waited. You want to facilitate the process to take advantage of the rolling admission process. If i were you, i would send an email now. Anyways, it's the national day holiday, i don't think you will be able to finish your interview anytime soon, unless you are super lucky.

In the meantime, check out the clear admit interview reports and have lots of practice.

Best of luck!

Cheers,

Thank you!

I'm in New York right now and heading to Boston afternoon. I will consider your suggestion sending email to another interview.

For people that submitted their ED apps 9/8-9/12, did anyone hear back yet?

Has anyone that applied ED heard yet? I also applied that week and have not. I am thinking (hoping) that they are focusing on j-term.

9/13 submission for ED Fall 2015, nothing yet.
Today got an email invite for virtual event, which gave me a false boost. Waiting is not fun.

29 yrs old

Ask me anything! Very happy now!

Since you invited to ask anything - why would someone running his own fund go back to school for two years?

Is there anyone who plans to retake gmat after submission? I want to do so but am not sure whether it would bring negative impact on my application.

Who was the latest to get an interview invite? Also, what date was the app submitted? It seems very quiet from an adcom perspective. Did they fill too many ED spots?

Has anyone heard back from adcom either good or bad? If so, what was the timing of the submission and acceptance/ding?

I hate waiting! Thanks!

Hi all,

Been paying attention to this thread for a while. Will post a bit about myself

Background:
710 GMAT (q48v39)
3.3 GPA (top canadian uni)
4 years of elite boutique IBD in Asia and 1 year of Big 4 accounting by next August
25 yrs old

Submitted: 09/06
Invited to Interview: 09/22
Interviewed: 09/29
Interview Report Submitted: 09/29
Invite: ???

I'm actually an reapplicant, applied for ED last year as well but got dinged after the interview. I found out I got dinged via an email 7 days after the interview was submitted.

I'm going into my 8th day now and as most of you can relate - the wait is killing me! It doesnt help that I am actually in New York atm for work and you cant help to think about Columbia when you look out the window.

It does seem like the Admin is taking longer to get back to people this year...I read a few post on when the admin will likely call you if you are in. Anyone know if the admin will actually call you if you are based in APAC/Hong Kong? I'm 12 hours ahead and its hard to imagine the admin staying behind till 9/10pm to call a candidate...

Anyways, good luck everyone!
