CBS Decision Procedure Mr.Matthew Moll, Associate Director(CBS) " Our goal is either to deny admission or invite for an interview or 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. It is our goal that all reviews are within these timelines. I suggest that candidates reach out to us if their application is outside of the six week timeline, but before doing so they should check their application status page for their complete date . Regarding the interview, it is two weeks from when the interviewer has submitted the interview feedback, not the date of the interview, so applicants should keep that in mind as well.

While we're all waiting, does anyone know anything about how CBS views couples who apply together? (are they considered a package or do they not care at all?)

Kind of regretting not applying ED but the risk of one of us getting rejected and having to split up for 2 years for school wasn't something we were willing to take

Applied on 10/8, Interviewed on 11/8, Interview report submitted on 11/10....

Hopefully I will hear back by Friday.

My interview lasted 1:40, but didn't feel it to be particularly good. Just ok.

I was totally fine over the weekend, but now became so anxious and nervous. This is my top choice and I haven't even started apps for other schools.

I have almost same schedule with you: Applied on 10/8, Interviewed on 11/5, Interview report submitted on 11/10. Maybe the news might come later next week. Cheers!

Looks like admits get calls in less than a week based on what people have been saying here and last year's thread.

Good luck to you too.

wow, congratulations!! i see this was your last shot and it was a great school!

ae71386ae

Got the call today, admitted to the Class of 2017! Timeline:

Application submitted: 9/29
Interview invite: 10/21
Interview feedback submitted: 10/30 8pm
Admitted: 11/5

Funny thing was that I got an email from CBS today asking me to call them. So for those of you waiting, don't let your heart sink if you get an email from somebody in the admissions office wanting to "reach out to you regarding your application."

Best of luck to everybody.
