What's up everyone.

I submitted my app on February 4th, right before the Superbowl.

Stats: GMAT 640, GPA 3.2, 8 years total exp (Top 3 BB, Big 4 Consulting, Private Equity (Current)

Haven't heard back yet, application is under review per website.

Good luck to everyone!

Just out of curiosity, what site are you looking at? I submitted on the same day, but I only see anything that says submitted, not under review. I wonder if there's a difference.

When you click on your submission, its the same page that has your application checklist, and allows you to upload more documents.

Mine still just says submitted, strange. I wonder if there's a function difference or if they just make random statuses until they have a decision for you.

Mine said submitted to but last week it changed to under review. I assuming we will start hearing answers in the next 1-2 weeks.

I'm disappointed to hear that, as it suggests they haven't begun looking at my app even with me applying 2 weeks prior to the deadline. I hope that's not the case.

Too early to worry about this. They have until May 1 to give us replies, the wait sucks.

I know it seems early to worry, but some digging into last year's apps suggested the first acceptances came 3/21. However the deadline was 3/1 vs. the 2/15 deadline from this year. Based on those dates, we could potentially start seeing responses this week or next. That's where most of my concern/curiosity comes from.

I digged into last year's apps too hahah. It took 3 weeks to hear back last year. but I have a feeling this year will take longer somehow.....btw my app turned to "under review" very early.

Did you submit everything? I have feeling since too many applicants this year they haven't looked ours apps yet.

Definitely submitted everything. I don't see a reason why they'd suddenly see such a large uptick in applicants.

For the record, this can just all be irrational. But I'd rather triple check that everything's going smoothly than have an issue and not know what's going on.

Hi,

Can I ask some of the posters why they chose NYU over Columbia to apply to? Was there anything specific you liked at NYU that made you choose it over Columbia?

False. I applied to Columbia's executive MBA program, which is a part time program on the weekends. It's a bit more intense though.

Yes, both Columbia and Cornell have part-time or EMBA programs. I am unsure what the poster above you is referring to or talking about.

Thanks for the feedback. I really thought hard about NYU vs Columbia, but have decided to go to Columbia and was very curious to see how like minded people made their decision. Ultimately, the flexibility of being able to choose a program that was only Saturdays was important to me as my boss was not in favor of allowing me to miss actual work days (Friday).

Did you get into Columbia Saturday EMBA? That's the program I got waitlisted on, have a follow call later this week regarding my status/progress etc..

Yes, I chose the Columbia Sat over the Fri/Sat due to the reason I mentioned above.

Did you have an in person interview yet? Can I ask what your high level qualifications were? We can then compare.

I am early thirties / Ivy League undergrad, but mediocre GPA / 8 years in Investment Banking / 164 on the Executive Assesment

Early 30s, non-target CUNY school ug, rest of info in my profile. What is the 164 on EA equal to on the gmat? I went to a few Info Session they were consistent on telling me aim for 600, I got a 640. I haven't studied for the test since I took it 4 months ago, theres no way I am retaking it again, if that's what it is.

I did 3 years BB, 3.5 Years consulting, and 1.5 PE

Yes I was waitlisted on 2/15 , Interviewed on 1/31.
