Just got denied without interview.

It seems that you need to apply CBS early to get a better chance of getting in. I applied last minute on 1/7.

Good luck to ones who are still waiting!

anyone has been dinged after an interview? or it's common to be accepted if they interview you? I am a bit nervous as my report was submitted 10 days ago.

I applied on 25/Jan, couldn't make it before, was drowning in work :( I know scholarships are out of the way, but admit wise, is there really no hope for me? When should I expect a response from CBS?

Can't offer insight on chances of admission, but this is Columbia's stated policy on review timing: "For all terms of entry, our goal is either to invite applicants for an interview or deny admission within six weeks of a completed application being received. Our goal for interviewed applicants is to render a final decision within two weeks of the interview report being completed." https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/programs-admissions/mba/admissions/application-process/review-process

Best of luck to you!

Thanks! I'll keep you guys posted :) Till then, best of luck to everyone!

based on data from the detailed applicant table on page one

32/50 of those interviewed were admitted (64%)
18/50 denied with interview (36%)

Hard to say how accurate these numbers are though as people may be less likely to report a ding vs an admit

Anyone who hasn't received anything at all since submitting an app on 1/7?

From what I read, the more delayed the mail, the more likely to be a ding.

Anyone getting any invites on Thursday/Friday?

Not many 1/7 applicants have heard back - and most have been dings.
I don't have much faith anyway, but I don't think the wait is reflective of a higher chance of being dinged.
