question on re vera-was looking in app and bonus in my first year was off by a nominal amount (VERY nominal amount-and I stated it was below what it actually was, so not like I am trying to make myself look great, this makes me look better...realized after the fact I had looked at data that was slightly off)-do you think this is cause for any concern? Probably best if I just wait and see if it actually presents any issue?


For what it's worth I had a difference in my actual vs reported, my base was lower but my bonus was higher. Net, revera asked me to simply provide proof of the rough breakdown. I wouldn't stress...

This is probably a dumb question but i wasn't sure on the next steps after receiving an offer ….

After admittance are you supposed to accept the offer and complete the online enrollment form even if you are still waiting to hear from other schools later in March? Is acceptance of the offer binding? Or are those of you in the same position not giving your response until you hear decisions from all other schools?

Yeah... I think that's all clearly explained for you if you read the information provided

I'm planning on waiting until I make a decision to complete the enrollment form. There's no point in confirming enrollment and then having to backtrack but I don't think your spot is reserved either way until you pay the deposit.

All of the information is available on the Facebook group. It is a secret group to maintain your privacy in case you are still undecided about schools or haven't told an employer. If you need access there is a "Request Access" portion on the CBS Admitted Students website.

Third it. At the very least, it'd be nice to know if all awards have been dispersed so we can plan loans / financing appropriately... this is the only part of CBS' application process that I think is a bit wonky

I was ED and got my need-based aid award today (it was pretty small). I am still waiting on merit-based aid.... very frustrating. According to the admissions office, merit-based aid can be given out through August.

Would it be possible for you to share how much they offered as need-based aid? Just trying to see how much they are shelling out on an average..

Sure, they give me 10K/semester. I was hoping for double that. but I don't have anything to benchmark to so maybe that was wishful thinking on my part.
