Columbia EMBA (Sat) 2019 Intake - Class of 2021

Question

Hi there - I applied Columbia EMBA for Sat class for early decision, and the submission due date was January 9, 2019.
I submitted my application on January 9, the same date as the due date for early decision.
I have not heard anything yet...Anybody already heard of next step, like an interview schedule or a denial?
Thanks!

Hello Tetty
 I too applied for Sat ED on the 9th of January. No response yet. I contacted admissions and they said it takes 4-6 weeks if one is invited for interview. 
Best of Luck!

Tetty and EMBAapplicant would not panic, they take sweet %&* time on this even for a positive result... if it makes sense, put other irons in the fire they keep yourself from worrying

Tetty · Answer

Hi pmehra7 - It was very conversational, about yourself, why MBA, etc. Just relax and good luck!

Tetty · Answer

Hi brooklyner - I submitted 1/9, and received an interview notification on 2/11. It may take a little more time for you to receive an update.

pmehra7 Check out a few interview experiences in the following link. Good luck. https://gmatclub.com/forum/columbia-190 ... brief.html

brooklyner · Answer

Thanks for sharing that. I was just wondering, since the orientation is on April 26-28 and one would have to get the student loan processed and approved before then...

Tetty · Answer

I am glad to tell that I got a call from Columbia and got accepted. See you guys soon and wish you all the best!

brooklyner · Answer

Hello all,

I just heard I won't be invited for an interview.

Disappointing indeed, I thought I had a chance, had gotten a 159 in the EA and some important relevant experience and 2 solid references.

Tetty · Answer

>Brooklyner - That's sad news....I know the earlier you apply, the better change you will get as Columbia adopts rolling admission...

pmehra7 · Answer

Gave my interview today. It was conversational and relaxed. All the standard questions were asked: Why CBS? Why MBA? How will you manage the work/life balance with school? Walk me through your resume.

Good luck to everyone!
