It sounds like the waitlist committee will be meeting today...

Nothing here. Just plugging away at those sporadic updates. I keep speculating and internally justifying reasons they might be reaching out soon (eg. the waitlist committee meeting last week, peer school decision letters going out late last month, round 3 deadlines this week), but the fact remains that they probably have little incentive to reach into the waitlist until they've sifted through all their regular decision applicants, absent a special situation. With a regular decision deadline of April 15, my uneducated guess is that they'll be maintaing optionality until at least mid-May.

Wow. I just got accepted off the waitlist. In actual shock.

took myself off the waitlist. good luck all!

Hi Guys, If you're planning to reapply to Columbia this year, then this is FYI... GMAT Club has officially started off this year's CBS application thread. Check it out here .

I might be the only person still left in this thread, but for the reference of future waitlisters, I was admitted off of the waitlist yesterday after a nearly four month wait! I did pretty much everything that all the waitlist blogs recommend and, though it took a couple months, apparently it paid off. Timeline below: Applied: 1/5 Invited to Interview: 1/23 Interviewed: 1/27 Waitlisted: 2/6 . . . . Admitted: 5/26
