Ha ha.

Ok, folks with Blackberrys I'll post on the thread where I'm sitting during the session. Let's hope some of us can meet.

gpulluri, sonibubu, good luck with your apps. 8-)

For tonight's meeting, I will bring a letter size printout with "Gmatclub" name. I will hold it up once the room clears out a bit. Let's remain seated in the room since it can be crowded at the door. Sounds good?

I plan to hog 100% of the adcom's airtime and ask them questions like "Is my GMAT score good enough for CBS" and "I got a B+ in Calculus my freshman year, is that acceptable?". Get ready.

Hey - does anyone know when in the process Columbia does the background check on your work and criminal history? A few summers I worked for my parents' business that has since shut down, so I'm not sure how they verify this? Any thoughts?

There's an info session coming up here in Baltimore and I'm wondering if it's even worth going. Christina Shelby from CBS admissions will be there, but I've already visited campus and gone to an info session by Bob Shea at the CBS campus. I'm debating whether introducing myself to another adcom is really worth the effort.

gmatclubbers at the NY panel, I hope some of you get together tonight. I'm heading back home, the pace of this panel and Q and A has nearly put me to sleep!

I waited and waited just to hold up the sign... I was excited to see the members, but no one showed up. :shock:
Some random people asked me what I was doing. :lol:

So sorry sng, I had a 90 minute commute ahead of me so I couldn't really stick around for too long after 8. I didn't think it was such a great panel.

I hope we can try something a little earlier soon.

Just got an email from CBS admissions confirming I want to apply RD and not ED :lol:
I guess they noticed I submitted super early, hopefully one of the very first RD applicants.

The main hall was full, so some of us were directed to the faculty room where there was student panel (current students). By the time I could come back to the main hall there was no one. I saw no sign, guess it was too late.
