Hey guys. For those who have paid their deposit, did you get a confirmation from the school? If so, approximately how long after you sent it did they confirm?

Mine took almost 2 weeks for them to deposit but I got a status update on the website within a few days of mailing the check.

Does anyone know roughly what the average lag time has been from interview feedback submission to decision? My feedback was submitted on the 18th.

Like the new name nyukellogg! My feedback was submitted Jan 18, pretty sure they called me Jan 30th, but since they didn't reach me, didn't call back until Feb 1st. So my decision technically ran the full 2 week timeframe they give you. I believe others have heard sooner though.

Hi everyone - super longtime lurker, but first time poster! Just wanted to say:

1. Not too many of my friends are going through the MBA app process, so it's nice to know I'm not alone!

2. I was accepted to Columbia yesterday!! Got the call from Christina in the afternoon! My timeline if anyone is interested:

Submitted: 12/24/12
Invited to Interview: 1/23/13
Interview: 2/8/13 (Had some issues with this - none of the first three alums responded so I had to research and then my interviewer couldn't meet for a week and a half)
Feedback Submitted: 2/11/13
Decision: 2/20/13 - Accepted!!

Good luck to everyone else!

Amazing! So may I ask how you reconciled that with your brand management questions from earlier? As that's one of my two target industries (today), I'm curious how you made your choice.

Thanks Dakells! Hopefully Wharton turns out well - fingers crossed. Our lists are pretty close + I also did investment banking! I'd be interested to know why you picked CBS?

I received a decision 9 days after my feedback was submitted (includes a weekend a President's Day Monday) so I'd say 6-7 business days. However, a friend of mine had to wait 3 weeks before she received her decision. I'm sure someone has done an analysis on the average days based on previous posts...
