Columbia: Calling all applicants - Class of 2016

Anyone specifically interested in Healthcare out here? Any admits?

I'm in! Just got the call! Anyone know when they update your status online?
Edit: just got the email, status is updated as well.


Submitted 11/14
Invited to interview 12/19 (my birthday!)
Interviewed 12/30
Feedback submitted 1/3
Admitted 1/10

No it doesn't. I was accepted in October last year and didn't get the call about scholarships until the first week of February. I would say you could still get money through mid March with the various Fellowships so don't give up hope yet.

I got the call earlier today!

I thought I'd share my timeline for reference in case anyone is keeping track:
Submitted 11/7
Invited to interview 12/19
Interviewed 1/6
Feedback submitted 1/6
Admitted 1/13

This is end of the journey for me.. I got rejected today. Hopefully my other applications at the other schools will pull through.

Sorry to hear, sally, but best of on the rest of the applications!! I'm still waiting for word form the adcom and trying to not check my email too often.

Just got the call! So happy!

Timeline:

Good luck to all!

congrats CelerIP! did you get a call from a "No Caller ID" number? and have you seen a change in your online profile?

Number was unlisted. I haven't seen a change in my online profile yet. They said they will update later. Hope this helps!

Hey nycdweller, for what its worth the call I got a few weeks ago came from a "No Caller ID" number.

thanks guys! i saw a missed call from a "No Caller ID" number just now and my interview report was submitted on January 7th as well! really hoping it's good news from CBS, but i haven't gotten an email from them like others in this group in the past (though they may have been ED) who have missed their calls.

is it too irrational to call the CBS admissions office to check?

Hey, I missed my call too, but they left a voicemail. Why don't you just call and check and see... no harm at this point!

just called the office - they couldn't find me initially, and after much holding and waiting and re-spelling my name, she actually transferred me to the woman who made the call, who decided to not leave a voicemail.

got in - with a small fellowship!

here's my timeline:

applied: rd, 11.17.2013
invited to interview: 12.19.2013
interviewed: 1.6.2014
interview submitted: 1.7.2014
accepted: 1.15.2014

my interview really tripped me up - my interviewer, about two decades out of CBS, literally asked me very little about why CBS/MBA in general, and more about my job and how i reacted/lead/solved problems. here are a handful of questions i remember from the interview:

* Why do you want an MBA? Why do you need it to achieve your goals?
* What do you expect to bring to your learning team? What do you want your teammates to bring?
* What gets you excited about work?
* Talk about a specific time that you had to convince people to do something

best of luck to everyone still in the process!

CONGRATS! Hope to see you next year! My online profile hasn't been updated yet - let me know when yours does!

oh - the admissions committee member said her colleague that does that left already for the day, so it would be first thing tomorrow morning.

Great! Thanks for the info.

Waitlisted...
