Has Columbia shown some love to any R2 applicants?

Define 'R2'. Do you mean the Regular Decision round as opposed to Early Decision?

Yes RD, I know its rolling but I meant those who submited on 1/07 (sorry for calling in R2)

You can check on page 1 to see the admit/dings results. So far there are 2 admits from ED and 2 from RD(stamp / jj) from what I can discern. Lets hope there isnt a quota.

I got bored near the end of work today so I ended up running a simulation for myself based on 1000 trials if Id get into any of Kellogg, Wharton or Columbia (used the 2007-8 admit rates for each, aka I gave myself a 16% shot for Wharton, 19% for Kellogg, 15% for CBS). I got into at least one around 42% of the time...

Not that I've seen. I wouldn't expect them to come out until later in Feb. I'm guessing results will be done in March and their turnaround time from interview to decision is pretty quick.

Had been travelling for the last 2 weeks, so hadn't checked my status. Just found out that I got dinged. I think I was pretty ready to take a 2 year break from New York anyway.

Good luck to you guys still waiting.

A few of the people who submitted on 1/6 received interviews. I don't recall seeing anybody from 1/7 get an interview yet. The admissions committee is definitely getting close to the many 1/7ers though!

I had my interview this past week. I submitted for R2. I sent in my application on 12/30 and received initial notification 2 weeks ago. Had a bit of difficulty scheduling my interview with an Ambassador so there was a bit of a delay.

Now just waiting / sweating bullets

Same here I am afraid :( Brutal day. Although considering I've had the same result as you on 4 out of 4 schools I am that much more optimistic for Kellogg :)

Congrats again to the admits.

This is weird. I got an email saying my status had changed, but when I logged in it looked just like it has since it went complete a few weeks ago. Has anyone else had this happen?

I would check back in an hour. Sometimes the system takes longer to update I guess. Good luck though.
