When did you submit soni?


A couple weeks after they started accepting applications, Aug 27th if I remember correctly.


Wow - that IS early. I am jealous!

Great job with the first page. You can add me, I submitted for RD =]

Oh and I vote to change the "admitted" green to a darker green (I can barely see the current green). I think agold didn't apply to Columbia btw.


thanks much, page 1 updated. Also, I wasn't sure if people cared whether ding was w/ or w/o an interview.

Hehe sorry. To be fair, I was one of the earliest Wharton dings and put "dinged" in bright red next to my name too. Dings won't mean doodoo when we get our first admits :)

Sonibubu - thanks for really rubbing it in with that "dinged" in BRIGHT red on the first page. :P :)

OK everyone, I bit the bullet and TRIED to put together an applicant list on the first page of this thread. I've gone through every page of the CBS thread this morning and I think I've got everyone covered, but can't be 100% sure.

Please double check and let me know if any changes need to be made (missed an applicant, incorrect "ding/admitted" status, etc). Mods, feel free to updated/edit the list.

Ok...I think it is time for me to buckle down and finally complete my Columbia RD application today. Has anyone checked out the Columbia Business Follies ads on Youtube? They are pretty great. I was involved in a very similar group during undergrad...if I go to CBS, I am definitely auditioning for this group.

I'm a fan of B-School guy vs. Law School guy:

Question about recommendation/application....

One of my recommenders submitted his rec already, and I am planning on submitting my application in the next two days or so. If my 2nd recommender submits his recommendation next week, will my file be thrown into the pool of application received next week or this week?

Don't submit your application until both of your recommendations are in. That's what the Columbia instructions say on the first page of your application when you login - not sure if you saw this already.

This is my first time looking at this thread. I am an ED applicant and got dinged. Only lucky 2 got accepted according to page 1. What's the deal with CBS this year? Too many jobless people walking around Manhattan?

Hi, I am waiting the final decision as my application status changed to completed last monday (12/15). Do you know whether the admission office works these days or they are in vacations? When would you expect they will release my decision?

They're on the website, people!

https://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/mba/learnmore/applynow

1. What is your relationship to, and how long have you known the applicant? Is this person still employed by your organization? If not, when did he/she depart?

2. Please provide a short list of adjectives describing the applicant’s strengths, and please compare the applicant’s performance to that of his or her peers.

3. Please comment on the applicant’s growth during his/her employment with you and on his or her ability to work with others, including superiors, peers, and subordinates.

4. In what ways could the applicant improve professionally? How does he/she accept constructive criticism?

5. Comment on your observations of the applicant’s ethical behavior.

6. What do you think motivates the candidate’s application to the MBA program at Columbia Business School?

7. If you could change one thing about the applicant, what would it be?

8. Are there any other matters which you feel we should know about the applicant?

How did everyone handle the 400 character count for activities? The CBS essays don't provide a lot of room to talk about ECs and 400 characters is very little space for three activities. Did most applicants go beyond the 400 character mark?
