I just got my invitation to the Welcome Reception on Dec 5th and Columbia Connect I & II on Feb 10th and April 20th.
Any admits planning to attend these? And any info on what to expect at these events?
I went to CCI and it was a total blast. They let us in the normal CBS Happy Hour on Thursday night, then had a full day of programming planned for us Friday. In addition to the planned events, they also gave us ample "mingle time" just to chit-chat and get to know our fellow admitted students. A lot of the guys and gals I met that weekend are some of my closest CBS pals today. It also serves as a great way to get to know people pre-matriculation for planning student-initiated events like the pre-MBA World Tour and impromptu admit happy hours.
I would have gone to CCII as well, but it was very close to my wedding and simply didn't work out. Regardless, I was super psyched to start school after CCI -- I simply had an amazing time. Let me know if you have any other specific questions on Columbia Connect.
