Hi all! New to this forum. Received the "time to schedule your interview" e-mail with the three "ambassadors" with whom you're matched in your area on Friday morning. E-mailed the primary contact Friday and did not hear back, so sent out an e-mail to the second interviewer last night. The instructions clearly state to give them two business days to respond and the list itself presumably includes three contacts for this reason (CBS alum being busy / travling out of town / having outdated contact info); I'm only in the first day of the second interviewer being contacted, but I thought I would reach out to this forum to ask those who have already interviewed or are scheduling interviews whether they dealt with similar situations. The instructions even state how you can refresh your contact list twice if you go through all three. I'm not trying to be impatient but am excited to interview as I'm applying ED to my #1 choice.

Thanks for any feedback and good luck to all!

You're doing well. Just be patient. I know how agonizing the wait can be. I interviewed with the 3rd name on my list because the others were busy. This is why you get many options/chances to schedule your meeting.

What you're going through is very common, so take a deep breath and sit tight! Good luck!

Columbia asks for number of attempts GMAT

If it is the first time I am applying for Columbia, and I took the GMAT 4 times, can I just mention 3? I read that schools can only see upto the last 3 scores.

Thanks

You don't want to get lie about such a small thing. It'll raise serious red flags if you get caught (my 2 cents). I asked the admissions consultant at CBS and she said it doesn't matter how many times you took the GMAT. They do want to see that you tried taking it multiple times IF your first score wasn't that good. I wouldn't lie about that (or anything for that matter).

When you all upload your essays, do you include the question up top as a header? Thank you for your help.

For the Financing the MBA section, are we supposed to estimate the $90k figure for one year or should this cover 2 years worth of costs? (Eek...this is expensive... :( )
