Have you applied yet Queenshope?
One of my clients is doing the CBS Saturday EMBA and loves it. He keeps getting promoted at work, too.
Said he would be happy to talk about the program so let me know if that would be helpful

I submitted an application to the Saturday program on 12/17, but not ED. Haven't heard anything yet, but it hasn't been that long and I know I submitted well in advance of the RD deadline. What about you?

I applied just in time for ED. Still too early to expect anything. But haven’t heard anything yet.

Nice, good luck! I was torn between ED and regular, and now wish I'd done ED because I know I'm in for a longer wait. Definitely post an update when you hear back! I'm surprised at how quiet this board is...

Same to you! I think it's a rolling admissions process so not too sure ED makes much of a difference either way. I'm also surprised at how quiet this board is, but I'm sure it will pick up around final RD deadlines.

Hello Folks
I applied to the EMBA Saturday Program for ED on the 9th of January. Have not heard back anything yet. Anyone else seen any movement with their application?

They may be backtracked. I would call and ask to check status. Also confirm everything has a check mark on status page. If they are missing things, it will delay process.

Agreed, I’m just as anxious as everyone else, but do keep in mind they do say on the website that they strive to deny or schedule interviews within 4-6 weeks from application submission. It’s been about three weeks since ED.

I’ll definitely let everyone know if there’s movement from my end.

Hey guys,

I applied for the Fri/Sat EMBA, class of 21. Early Decision

Application completed - Jan 26th

No answer yet, but I've been emailing admissions back and forth and they said I should expect an answer this month on whether I get an interview or not. I attended the class visit last weekend, which went very well.

Hey def522, You applied really early! Could you share how quickly they reached out for the interview? I applied about a week and a half ago. Hoping they reach out in another week or so. Thanks

I've submitted ED Feb 1 for the Fri/Sat EMBA. Let us know how and when you get notified of an interview.

Thanks!

aa - Apologies for the delayed response. Knowing it is rolling admissions, I tried to complete my application as soon as possible. I received an invite to interview about 3 weeks after submitting. Once the interview was complete, I was informed about a week and a half after. Columbia stuck to their timeline of the 6-8 weeks.
