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.

Hi Everyone,
I'm an international early decision candidate out of Asia.
Submitted: 9/22
Interview Invite: 10/10

Does anyone have any idea what percentage of applicants get an interview invite? How many get accepted post-interview?

Thanks in advance! :-D

I've heard that ~25% get interview invite and ~60% of those get accepted. Not sure how accurate these numbers are though.

Reapplicant here, for ED

Age 25
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 - I got promoted to an Associate in July, led recruiting for our Asia office
EC: I started a small charity with couple of friends last year, also some other charity work

Submitted 6th Sept, Interview invite on 22nd Sept, interview submitted on 29th Sept, Decision 14th Oct

Definitely not a good feeling, worked pretty hard the entire year since the last ding, I thought I was going to make the cut this year.

Well at least I am free from checking my phone and email every other 5 min for the time being... on to other schools!

Best of luck to the rest of you!

How long does it take for an applicant to find out the interviewer submitted the feedback? Instantly, a day or two?

My problem is that I originally set the interview date as 15th, but the my interviewer and I move the date up to 11th without modifying the date on the app. page.
My interviewer told me he submitted his feedback 12th, but I haven't got any notification on my status.

I am in the same boat, my interviewer completed his report over the weekend but my status has not changed. Seeing that another person has the same issue I expect it is just a normal delay and our status will be updated shortly.

Hi..sorry to hear. Don't be disheartened, you can reapply next year. Set up a call and ask the adcom for feedback on your app. Were you interviewed last time as well?

Submitted 9/29 (ED), haven't heard back yet. I guess it's now taking 3+ weeks to screen applicants.

AdCom reaches out via email, right?

I submitted 9/25 (ED) with no word yet. Feeling a bit doubtful of my prospects now. I've heard the adcom calls with interview invitations and dings with an email. Can anyone confirm this?

Sorry to hear that.
I guess, the best thing of being informed this early is that one has plenty of time to research and prepare R2 applications to other schools!

The last two posts sound like the emails are being sent out before noon ET, which is late evening to around midnight in Asia.
Is this correct? I wouldn't have to bother during working hours then, but could focus on work some more!
