Calling all Columbia (CBS) MBA Applicants: (2019 Intake) Class of 2021

Congratulations!

When did you interview ?

Did everyone who's already applied regular decision receive an email on 11/13 saying CBS was starting to review regular decision applicants? For some reason did not receive this even though my application was completed on 11/8....

Heard back from the adcom today! I am in!

Congrats Nishant! Looks like you got considerably lower score in the second GMAT attempt. Wondering how CBS viewed at it. Generally schools consider highest score but want to know how CBS looked at this drop.

Hey Narenn,

I actually got higher scores on that my last test. On GMAT club, for some reason, the scores are arranged in the wrong order. So I applied to CBS with a 740 (Jan 2018), though my earlier 690 score (Nov 2017) was also available to them. An honest mistake on my end.

Thanks
Nishant

Not long after Katie Brehm, a first-year MBA student, realized that she had been drugged and raped by a classmate at Columbia Business School, she did something extraordinary. The 31-year-old young professional wrote an email to the 70 fellow students in Cluster A, one of several groups assigned to take all of the first-year core classes together.

Her allegations come at an awkward time for Columbia Business School. Only this summer, the school and one of its professors was the subject of a highly publicized trial in New York District Court that ended with a $1.25 million judgment in favor of a former assistant professor who said she was a victim of sexual harassment and retaliation at CBS. During that trial, it was revealed that the university investigated three separate harassment cases involving male professors at its business school simultaneously in 2014, including an allegation that a Columbia Business School professor had sex with a female student in his faculty office.

Any status updates from anyone who applied RD? Might be helpful to post application date as well as interview invite or ding
