Good to see that two fellow Aerospace guys are applying in ED. I am so going to miss applying in ED because of my low GMAT (700). I will be applying in RD, hopefully with better GMAT. Hopefully CBS will consider another Aero guy like me in RD, and not simply reject as its not ED. :cry:

All the best to you two.

Thanks popov, all the best to you too for your RD application. Aerospace is a niche field that not many people switch from to pursue MBAs. I think if you apply with a good score (it could be anything as GMAT is only 1 component of your application) and an excellent application, there is no reason why CBS will not say yes to your candidacy.

Absolutely agreed. I fully believe aerospace is advantageous to come from. I do have a question for everyone though....

If you work for an aerospace company, but work in finance, are you still considered aerospace? I always get a little confused by how folks are grouped. Anyways, I work in pure manufacturing operations in aerospace, which I believe to be a fairly small bunch of folks, let's hope it's an advantage!

Your industry still remains the same but your function changes when you talk about a financial analyst in Aerospace. I am in core Engineering in the aerospace industry so for me, I definitely come under the purview of aerospace industry in broader terms.

So what's the appropriate amount of time to email your interviewer if they haven't submitted their feedback? I had my interview last Wednesday and I was thinking a week.

I think that's a good plan of attack. A week is not pushy at all. That said, you can always add them on LinkedIn as a little "hey, remember me" nudge.

Does CBS have the format required for their essays anywhere? I can't seem to find them anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think so, but I would say that I'm confident they are expecting the same as the other schools: good spacing, common fonts, and no need to reiterate the question. They do request separate files though.

I submitted very basic - 1.5 spacing, size 11, arial. Hope this helps!

You might want to ask your interviewer whether he/she received the review form from school. My interviewer told me he didn't receive the form, so I wrote an email to admission office. They sent him a separate email right away.
Not a bad way to remind him though ;)
IMO one week is tooooo long

Views to Comments ratio is absurd. I feel that we should contribute more knowledge and support here :).

Anyway, I took a chance and submitted only to columbia for first round (ED), as it is my first choice.
