Calling all CBS Applicants - (2015 Intake) Class of 2017

Thank you for the info. Great credentials. Wish you the very best!

Hi Disha,

Congrats to you! Would you post a bit about your interview questions please. I PMed you but didn't hear back. Thanks.

Any J-terms got in or got any calls last week?

Submitted Oct 7th (i know.. 1 day before the deadline). Considering I started application and GMAT prep around first week of Sept, I am glad enough I can make it...

Thanks and sure! I'm female 27. Engineering undergrad from top Canadian university gpa 3.1. Masters in finance, top canadian university, 3.7 gpa. CFA. Gmat 730. WE is 3.5 years in finance. Hope this is helpful!!!

I just got an invite earlier today. Regular decision, J term. Forgot when I submitted, but very early.

740 GMAT, 3.3 from a state school in NY, 24 years old. I was CEO of a startup for 2 years and wrote a sci-fi / fantasy novel.

Good luck to all

Thanks for the update. I wonder why my decision is being held further. Good luck!

As I am in a situation similar to yours - still waiting for a decision - I like to make some suppositions.

I think "diversity" is really important for any MBA and especially for a top one. So, I think they work with buffers. If you are an indian IT guy (sorry for the cliché), you will be judge on your application and you will fail or pass. If you pass, your application will go in a buffer where other super smart IT indian guys are and then when the buffer is full, you will be compared among your peers in that group. So that, at the end of the day, your application is delayed because they are still trying to figure out if you are the best of a category or still waiting to find more applicants like you (in order to compare you with similar profiles). So if you are still waiting, it is perhaps a good news.

The other supposition is that the person sending Ding emails is too busy.

Yeah. Good points. Where are you from? What industry are you in?

I am from France (Bonjour !).
I am in IT consulting right now and wish to go into entrepreneurship.

What about you ? What is your profile ? Give us some details
Why do you think the decision is held back ? Keep us informed if anything move !

Bonjour! I am going to be in Paris beginning of this November for a business trip.

I am a portfolio manager in a central bank. I manage my country's foreign exchange reserves and acts as a financial agent to the Government. I have taken on many projects within the bank, such as forced M&A between two commercial banks, local monetary policy transmission developments etc ... My profile is definitely different from others .... working in a young economy, WE has been rich and quite eventful.

I will be sure to keep the forum informed and help to give people idea of what's happening.

I will graduate with class of 2016. Anyone from class of 2016 here? Love to join the facebook group for both class of 2016 and 2017 if possible.

Is anyone else having trouble scheduling an interview? The ambassador that I reached out to takes forever to respond to emails usually 1 day per email. Very frustrating.

Just got an interview invite. Submitted on 7th Oct.
