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!

Hi folks:

Thought I'd add some info here, as we all wait with bated breath...

I applied ED on Sep 15, and my app was completed on Sep 19... Still nothing back.

Good luck to all, and hopefully we can withstand the pain of waiting!

I'm not sure if this is 100% legit, but I just refreshed my applicant page, and a new form was there "Search for an Interviewer"

I'm assuming this means I have an invite?!!!!!!!!!!

It is very weird to see just 5 people "invited to interview" on the 1st page. I request all the invited to interview or accepted candidates to update their GMATCLUB applicant profile so that the stats on the 1st page reflect the reality.

Congrats that you're invited (according to my personal experience

) maybe you should check your "Promotions" file if you use a gmail for application. My official notification directly went to that file at first.

Gogogo Good Luck :-D

Thank you - I'm nervous it's a glitch in the system at this point! Ps. JulyAngelyingC - it's not in Promotions!

Sub 3.0 GPA, 730 GMAT (46Q 44V, AWA: 6, IR: 8).
I work in luxury goods, in a Strategy function.
Lot of extra-curricular's at a global level, founder of an NGO and a Social Enterprise with international recognition.
Also did HBX, passing with Honors (to mitigate the crappy GPA).

Honestly, I am as nontraditional as it gets, and I did not work with any admissions consultants etc.

Thanks for the update thepoet and good luck.
As I have submitted a week before I can finally move on with other applications. I have made many technical-rookie mistakes with my app, such as not waiving(apparently doing so is a big NO).
CBS was my first choice and I thought that I have a lot to contribute, but of course that you better feel that :]

Haha I thought about applying CBS ED as well...but I've heard how Chinese applicants abused it as a 6K insurance...As a Chinese myself (even applying in US pool), I don't want to have that wrong impression so ended up going with RD

Btw, is not waiving a big no? I assume you're talking about rec letters right?

Yes, waiver is for recommendation letters. Waiving the right shows that you have utmost confidence in what your recommenders are going to mention. Strangely, Kellogg specifically mentions that waiving is not going to have an impact on your application. But Wharton does mention that it is better to waive your right. Havnt seen anything similar for CBS but I would assume the same for Columbia.

I didn't waive any of my rights to see the recommendations and I'm 2/3 on interview invites so far.

That's good to hear. I didn't waive any of my rights either, but my questioning of the logic is whether waiving makes a difference or not. Sure I didn't waive it, but I can't possibly change how my recommenders have recommended me, what does it matter whether or not I can view it? (I don't plan on asking for what they wrote at all)

Good for you. As I said, different schools have different 'requirements' for opting waiver option. For schools that do not necessarily mention whether they prefer one or the other, I don't think it'll be a reason for a ding.

Completely agree. My point is no one should worry about whether or not they waived their right to see their recommendations. It won't matter.

For those who have interviewed, how do you find out when the interviewer has submitted feedback or not?

Thanks.

Thanks.

If your interviewer submits your interview report, your will receive a "status change notification" email from CBS

and then you can log into your application page. It's almost like the process you receive the interview notification.

Hope it helps~~~~

I highly doubt that not waiving (or any other "mistake" of that kind) results in a ding by itself.
The only thing it does is seating in your head while you wait - So make sure everything is in order by your standards before submitting.
I am satisfied with my application and I am more experienced for the next one :wink:
