Dinged too....710 gmat, cfa, indian female, lived and worked in London for 6 years with an investment bamnk, not investments banker though was debt lender in leverage finance. worked in 3 countries., including Germany. Did 2 years as a consultant too. Wanted to move in PE. Funnily, when my friends and husband party or relax every Eve after work, I have been studying for cfa last 3 years. This June completed, and then jumped straight to gmat. I don't know what these business schools want. Got a distinction in undergrad in maths and went to London school of economics in a scholarship. I should have gone to london business school when I got the offer in 2012, but refused to go due to personal circumstances. :( so disappointed. PE firms don't even call for interview without an MBA.

3.5 GPA from non-target state school
2.5 yrs WE in big4 audit, ~2.5yrs WE (at matriculation) in a hybrid FP&A/Strategy group at a F100
great EC's in college, OKish EC's post-college

i thought the interview went really well, had great rapport with the alum that i interviewed with. overall, i felt i was a competitive candidate for CBS ED and felt very confident walking out of my interview, but i guess it was not meant to be....now on to R2 apps while i wait for my other R1 decisions..

I really think its more about the timing of your application than your profile as a MBA applicant. If you are applying for CBS ED or J-Term, you need to apply early. They get less applications for the first few months where most of the class isn't filled. As you get closer to the deadline, there are fewer seats, but more applicants. I was told that they got over 1000 applications on the day of the deadline. You probably would have gotten in if you applied in august.

I have no relationship with the admission so this is just my 2 cents - perhaps they find moving into PE through MBA a bit unnecessary or unrealistic. I work in the PE industry currently. It is not true that nobody will be offered an interview without an MBA. given how small the PE firms generally are (in terms of head count compared with investment banks), they tend to be really selective just because they can. generally PE firms hire either IBD people or people who can source deals in the respective industry and therefore you may find it challenging to get an interview competing with these people given your background is not in IBD and may not offer strong industry connections. After the MBA, people who directly go into PE are typically bankers (pre-mba) or PE people (pre -mba). it will be challenging to take someone with your background immediately post MBA graduation. that being said, a more realistic goal will be to work in IBD after MBA with the intention to move into PE in 3-5 years.

Hello,

This might seem like a stupid question, but somehow I am finding this a bit confusing. am planning to apply for J Term 2016. Does this mean that I will be graduating with the Fall 2015 intake candidates? Does anyone have any idea about when the application is open for J Term 2016?

Thanks

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like you have a brilliant applicant profile. I hope something works out (I'm sure it will)!

Congrats! I'm also from Toronto, still waiting to hear back. Did they automatically assign you an alum or are you able to choose to do it on campus?

...was worried at first that I submitted so close to ED deadline that CBS was going to hold it against me that I didn't apply ED, but it seems like it's not so bad...

Hi, they give you a list of people for you to contact for interview. CBS doesn't offer campus interview.

I submitted end of August and received my invite on Dec 1, and it is on rolling basis, so I assume yours should be comining soon. :)
