Columbia 2012 - Calling All Applicants

mbaer how did your interview go? like to share your insight

The best interview recap is on pg13 of this thread. All the questions I was asked were on there. If anything, I felt he may have forgotten to ask some questions. Overall, it was pretty informal and laid back, but obviously this will depend on your interviewer. I thought I did well, but you never know.

Congrats - I went under review on 12th Sep - getting a bit jittery now[/quote]


str1der - no need to feel jittery there.. Perhaps they go by the date of submission. i submitted mine in the beginning of sept but my recommendations came in late.[/quote]

Thanks. I do understand that mine may go under review sooner than someone else (in ED) but I may be the last one to get a decision, even if denied without interview. After all the school is only obliged to review in order, not release decisions in order of receipt of applications.

But the jitters still remain hehe - hope some good news will make them go away soon though. All the best everyone.[/quote]

str1der and ksk80, hang in there guys. i submitted my app on 26 Aug, recos came in by 6 Sep and App went under review on 8th Sep. So its been 3 weeks but no news yet! Hang in, Hang in.

Any udpates/news... anyone?

Wow, it's been quiet for a while.

Surely the decisions are starting to pile up. My guess is that there'll be a huge blast of ED decisions next week or the week after.

Nothing on my end....unfortunately.

Same here. Looks like I'll be out 2 x application fees on sunday/monday...... Ouch.

Just curious... did anybody try to schedule their interview over the phone? They haven't disclosed the interviewer's phone numbers. I emailed one of them and waiting to hear back.

They only provide email addresses as far as I'm aware, but the first guy I emailed replied with his phone number so the rest of our communication was over the phone. So really it's up to the individual whether they want to share their numbers..

Anyone else get hungry when they see fudgey's avatar? WTF. Anyway, goodluck to those interviewing..there's a few posts from us about the questions and how to be prepared... ie.. plan b, etc.

Hey guys.. do you know what happens if you do another "interviewer search" when 3 names are already displayed? Would those 3 be replaced by the new results or will the new results be added to the list (so it would display 6 interviewers)?

If you search again, it will display another 3 names, giving you a total of 6 names. Then if you search a third time, you'll have a total of 9 names. However, once 9 names are displayed, the system will not let you search anymore.

The way that this could screw you over is if you're searching for alumni in various cities that you might be traveling to. So if you do three searches in three cities, you'll be limited to three names per city.

thanks MDF!

Interview set up for Monday night :$

Good luck!!!!

Just hit Submit. Very nervous and anxious. I think given my profile the longer I end up waiting the better, if I get dinged it'll be quick.

For my own sanity I'm going to stay off of GMATClub for a while after this weekend, I'll update as soon as I hear back. ::fingers crossed::

Good luck all,

I just submitted a few minutes back.

Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back!
