I think some of you are really overestimating the % of the class that has already been filled. If you look back to last years forum a lot of people invited in late Feb and early March were admitted. That and the deluge of invites that came out last week make me think we will see a lot of acceptances in late March. People on GC tend to get overly paranoid about this stuff and there's a lot of harmful, by understandable, self doubt around here. I recommend everyone relax until at least the last week of March.

Got an admit call today as well. I think I screamed "YEAHHHHH!" for about 10 seconds.

3.27 / 760
submitted 11/19
under review 12/1
invite 1/31
interview 2/28
complete 3/5
admit 3/9

Was definitely a long journey, but worth it in the end.

Question to Folks who already interviewed:

Received my interview invite yesterday. My best option in the first 3 interviewers choice is an admissions consultant- should I pick him or look for my next 3 choices? Not sure if interviewing with an alumni who is an admissions consultant will be a pro or con for me- please share your thoughts asap.

Thanks so much for prompt response!

Hey,

Personally, I would recommend maxing out all nine ambassadors to see who will be your best fit. You can continue to accumulate all the way up to nine without losing your prior searches. I maxed out nine, and the sixth ambassador that I contacted was the only one who replied. Best of luck!

How many people here that applied on 1/4 are still waiting for a response? Seems like there is a small number of us left who applied on the regular decision deadline (1/4) but have not heard anything. Has anyone tried calling adcoms to check? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the congrats. I'm just relieved to know that I'll be heading somewhere this fall. I think the fast turnaround was due to my early submission in mid-November. They try to give final results within the 8-12 week timeframe, so I'm guessing that my application was expedited ahead of others'. I hope you get the congratulatory call BAMBAMBAM!

thanks, but Stern has offered me a full ride + extra $$, dont see how I can turn that down. Odd but I still want to hear back (a yes) from CBS so I can at least flirt with the decision.

Does anyone know if there is any chance at all Columbia sends out full scholarships with their acceptance letters? Doesnt seem like something they do.

BAMBAMBAM,

Sent you a PM. You can send a PM by clicking on the "PM" button, which should be right below each poster's text box. Or you can just open up your inbox and then hit reply.
