Ding w/o interview here. Oh well, atleast that is one less school I have to worry about.

Good luck to those still waiting and congrats to all the admits.

Sorry to hear that nyrberg. If I recall, you've still got W/Y in your pipeline to come through for you. :gl

Haha dj, you're well and truly in charge of the NYC hub of gmatclubbers.

What I find interesting is how a lot more gmatclubbers seem to be applying to Chicago (Kellogg and Chicago GSB), when compared to New York (Columbia and Stern). In fact, initially there were a lot of applicants to Columbia including myself (I think this thread reached 15 pages in no time). This was perhaps due to the ED and J-Term deadline of Columbia. But from there, interest levels fell a little.

I find this particularly strange since I would have thought that the NYC location alone would be a HUGE drawcard for most applicants (both local and international). So why is it that non NY (especially Chicago) schools are witnessing so many more gmatclub applicant ? Is it just the rhyme effect ? Is the the bw rankings ? What's going on ? Any thoughts ?


Speaking for myself since I did not apply to any NY area school. The perceptions I have of the NY schools are of strong finance schools. My post-MBA goal is not IB or PE so I did not see the benefit given my goals. In addition to the high cost of living coupled with a student budget.

Yeah I agree, the high cost of living part is perhaps the biggest deterrent.

Nyrberg, I too am from a biology background. I don't think that automatically plays against you as long as you market yourself right, especially if you are still in the sciences professionally. I integrated the science and business theme to play on how an MBA would enable me to achieve my goals. Just my two cents.

Got the invite today. It's a little weird that so many people have already interviewed or been rejected and here I am bringing up the rear. Columbia is an entirely different beast! I'm defintely not complaining though, Columbia is a great school. Hopefully I won't drool over the value investing program too much during the interview.

That's my 4th invite -- outlook is good for at least one admit!

Sudden - congrats on the invite!! Did you submit close to the deadline?

I got the invite on 3/6 and submitted on 1/5. My friend got the invite last Thursday (3/21) and submitted on 1/9.

Best of luck on the interview.

dj - Thanks for your continued support. You have been extremely helpful in this process. You will definitely be included in my Academy Awards acceptance speech, should I be so lucky.

Cheers

I got a status update, and when I logged on the good news was there. I got a call from Linda about 1 month later. I would watch the status update more than your phone. If your interviewer just submitted feedback then you could hear something within a few days! :-D
