Calling all CBS Applicants - (2015 Intake) Class of 2017 : MBA Archive

bagdbmba · 2014-05-17T11:03:34-07:00

CBS Decision Procedure Mr.Matthew Moll, Associate Director(CBS) " Our goal is either to deny admission or invite for an interview or within six weeks of a completed application being received. Our goal for interviewed applicants is to render a final decision within two weeks of the interview report being completed. It is our goal that all reviews are within these timelines. I suggest that candidates reach out to us if their application is outside of the six week timeline, but before doing so they should check their application status page for their complete date . Regarding the interview, it is two weeks from when the interviewer has submitted the interview feedback, not the date of the interview, so applicants should keep that in mind as well.

Any J-Term Applicants here? My interview report was submitted on Oct 2nd. I still haven't heard anything yet. They did call me 10 days ago to ask if i wanted to be considered for EMBA. Did anyone get such call?

I think they have had to deal with high rate of applications submitted during the deadline week. The ad-com did tell me that i should hear this week, which may be same for you as well. Did someone call you, asking if you wanted to be considered for EMBA?

Well, I applied J-term and here's my situation.

app. submitted 9/11
interview invi. 10/03
feedback submitted 10/14
waitlisted 10/18

All of my friends including CBS alumni became very surprised at my getting waitlisted in only 4 days. Also I was quite quite sure that I'd get either a ding or call from the school asking me if I wanted to do EMBA.(I had a couple of calls from other schools) Insead, I got waitlisted. Don't have a clue what to do ;(

Hey guys,

I applied on September 28th and I have not received an invite yet. But some people who applied later than me seem to have received their response ... Any updates from people who applied around September 28th?

Thanks.

Though I didn't get a call for EMBA but I don't like nor do I understand why they do this? I am glad Columbia is giving applicants alternative options but they need to be more transparent about these options.

They should have been more straightforward and said either "You're accepted to our full-time program but we also have an excellent EMBA program that could be potentially more suitable for you" or "We cannot accept you to our full-time program but we would be glad to offer you our EMBA program"

Well no use worrying but wait at the moment. Best of luck everyone.

Let the waiting begin... I was told 2 weeks +- 1 week for results and it'll stretch to 4 weeks +-1 week as they get to more applicants that applied closer to the deadline. Hope that helps alleviate any concerns out there. From my understanding, there really isn't any rhyme to the reason. I'm sure there is some expedition of high value applications (merit-based scholarships perhaps), otherwise it seems like there's simply limited hours in the day and only so many admissions personnel.

Cheers

Best of luck! Not sure if we deserve faster treatment but jterm classes start in a few months. It'd be helpful to able to start lookin for housing as soon as we can (if accepted ofc）

Can't argue that, I was actually surprised the j-term deadline was so late in the year.

Could some of the folks who have been invited to the EMBA program share their age?
