Interviewed 12/18
Waitlisted 12/23

I'll probably take myself off the waitlist to give someone else a spot...it's been real NYC, Philly here I come!

Hello guys, will the status change from 'submited' to 'complete'? I'm afraid of missing something

Hahaha... follies are the best. I just love the "Remix to Admissions" video!

This post prompted me to spend 2 hours last night watching follies videos back to back. Hmmmm.... possibly not the best use of time... but I had a lot of fun!

Hello everyone!

Got an interview invite (RD), having a hard time scheduling with the interviewer though... I'm already trying with the 3rd one! One of them offered me 1/12 (when he gets back from holidays), but I think it might be too late...

Applied - 11/26
Invited to interview - 12/18

Trying to schedule with 3 interviewers eh?

Don't end up like this guy from Follies... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b_yNYIIjD0

Thanks. Have you heard from someone in the office?

Also, I see that you have decided to CBS over Wharton and Tuck. What did it for you?

I haven't heard from anyone, but we got emails that say all business school facilities will be closed: December 25, 26, 27 and 28 - 2014, January 1, 2, 3, and 4 - 2015

It was a really tough choice. I flip flopped back and forth quite a bit. In the end, I had four major reasons:

a) Personal
Then: I wanted to stay with my girlfriend who lives in NYC.
Now: With hindsight, I can't imagine having to deal with the hassle of commuting back and forth.

b) Semester Internships
Then: as a career switcher, I liked the idea of in-semester internships.
Now: With hindsight, this was an amazing decision - being in NYC let me do internships at a VC and a startup and let me break into new industries - couldn't do that in Philly or Hanover

c) Professors
Then: I thought it was so cool that real practitioners would teach classes and superstars would come in for guest lectures and roundtables every day
Now: The guest speakers have been stellar. The faculty-practitioners, I look back on with mixed feeling. Some have been amazing (Jared Grusd, Head of Corp Dev at Spotify and Steve Blank, legendary startup guy), some just aren't ready to teach (Jay Coleman, Head of Equity Capital Markets at Credit Suisse). It was still cool to have the option. Barry Salzberg, the CEO of Deloitte, is joining CBS next semester which is pretty amazing for all the consulting wannabes.

d) Community
Then: I really liked all the CBS people I met. Though to be fair, if I was going by community alone, I would have went to Tuck. CBS was not far behind though. At the same time, some people at Wharton, starting with my team interview, just rubbed me the wrong way.
Now: I really love the CBS community and can't having imagine been somewhere else. The most repeated falsity about CBS is that it has no community. Yes some people do their own thing... but, there are like 600 people - at most like 1/5 do their own thing... that still means there are 480 people who are making the absolute most of CBS and ready to jump into the crazy MBA ride with you. That's more than the whole class of some other schools!

At the end of the day, I pretty much viewed Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, CBS, Tuck, and Sloan as pretty much exactly the same (I still view HBS and Stanford as a cut above). I remember when I posted this on the board a while ago people were like "WHY DID YOU NOT PICK WHARTON??? WHARTON's AVG SALARY is $125,000, CBS IS ONLY $120K YOU IDIOT OMGGGGGGGG!!!!!!".

People make waaay too huge deal out of the rankings (how does Poets and Quants exist?? Literally.) But I find that all of these schools will give you the platform to do pretty much anything and everything that you want - so long as you put in the effort to make it happen. Given that, you just pick the one that makes the most sense for you or the one that just 'feels right'. CBS made sense for me, and I wouldn't trade my experience for anything.

Submitted my application yesterday - 12/30/2014.
Hope I am not too late in submitting the application with the Rolling admission policy in place.

Going by the trend, I think I would have to wait for a minimum of 1.5 months.

A quick question: At the end of the application, we have a link to upload requested documents.
I have not been requested for any document, so did not upload any.

Am I missing something here?

Congrats on your submission! If you're talking about the Application Status page, I believe you can disregard that message. The "Upload Materials" section sounds like the admissions committee would specifically request something from you. Hope this helps!

Samesies. Knew the email meant bad news... barely a month since I submitted. Especially considering the week off for holidays. Wonder if I had a totally obvious red flag. Such a quick turnaround time.

Submitted: Dec 14
Received Interview: January 6

I thought I wouldn't hear back until the end of January but the turn around was very quick (especially w/ the holidays).

I got a list of names to schedule interviews with the same day, so here it goes! come on CBS!

Best of luck! I submitted on 12/22 so I'm like a week ahead of you. Hopefully, I'll hear back sometime next week!
