Glenn Hubbard on MBA Rankings Columbia’s Dean Glenn Hubbard on MBA Rankings - Dean's thoughts on MBA Rankings 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. " Mr.Matthew Moll, Associate Director(CBS) " We will start reviewing Regular Decision applications once we complete the review of Early Decision. This usually happens in early December. Regular Decision applications that are submitted prior to the start of our review of Regular Decision will be placed in a queue and reviewed on a rolling basis once we start reviewing RD applications. Additionally, candidates who submit prior to the start of our review of RD will receive notification that their six week review process has begun .We will send an e-mail to candidates who have already submitted and are in a queue who are 'waiting' for their process to begin " Mr.Matthew Moll, Associate Director(CBS) " Need based scholarships are awarded by financial aid and will be awarded later in the cycle after admission. Merit based fellowships are managed by admissions and usually are not awarded at admissions. If you were admitted and did not hear about these awards keep in mind they usually happen later in the cycle!

Thanks so much for posting the chat Narenn! Transcript is incredibly helpful.

Interviewed today and feedback was uploaded tonight. Based on the chat transcript, it sounds like the decision time really does vary by depending on how many apps are in that stage of review. My guess (although just a guess) is that the current load is pretty light as the initial wave of invites is still working its way through the system (scheduling to interviews to completed feedback). Will update once I hear back to give a better idea. Fingers crossed!

Anybody who applied after 10/10 heard anything? Mine was submitted on the 13th but nothing yet

At the rate of 6 weeks per applicant, we should be hearing about someone who applied on 28th Oct. Looks like they are way behind target 6 weeks. What is the latest submit date for those who got invites?

For RD applications, the 6 week clock started from Nov 19 (maybe 11/18, I can't remember now) when they announced to begin reviewing the RD applications no matter how early you submitted your application for RD. So if you submitted your application before Nov 19, you should be able to hear something no later than early Jan.

Ahhh so jealous of your speedy interviewer! Assuming you received an email when your feedback was uploaded? Good luck on your decision!

If you look at last year's thread, they were up to about the same point this week. Then by the end of the following week several people who submitted between mid October and mid November got updates. If you submitted before November 18th you will definitely hear if you got an interview by December 30th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interviewed today and was told that the timeline from interview to decision could be anywhere from a day to two weeks at this point.

Hmmm.. I submitted Nov 19th!! Couldnt chase 18th deadline, as my recommender became lazy towards the end. As per chat with Adcom they said 6 weeks for those submitting after 18th. So I guess I should hear around Dec 30th. Its their current pace that makes me doubt whether they would be able to meet the 6 weeks target!!!

I agree, but if you look at last year's forum, they seem to be at almost the same place...and mid November invites started the following week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
