DINGED BY COLUMBIA -ED

woverycool

GOT DINGED YESTERDAY 12/28.

STATS: APPLIED 10/10, REVIEWED 10/24, INVITED 12/4, INTERVIEWED 12/15, REJECTED 12/28

5 YRS INT'L TRADE IN CHINA, 2 YRS PUBLIC ACCOUNTING IN U.S. GMAT740, GPA 3.9 FROM AVG UNIV

REAPPLICANT!

Q: WHY DID COLUMBIA SEND A DENIAL DURING THEIR HOLIDAY BREAK (12/23 - 1/02)? ANY OTHER SIMILAR SITUATION? JUST CURIOUS?

CONCLUSION: THE FEEDBACK MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE CANDID, AT LEAST FROM COLUMBIA. THEY LOSE NOTHING, BUT WE WASTE TIME & EFFORT.

HAPPY NEW YEARS AND BEST WISHES TO ALL!

这个沙发不好坐。楼主背景看上去也不错，恐怕要总结一下。我也在昨天收到通知我状态更改的邮件，说已经收到申请，正在与我的材料匹配什么的，所以他们圣诞节后就马上开始工作了。很多地方都这样的。继续加油，希望有更好的！

搞不懂TOP商学院到底喜欢什么样的申请者，我知道一个在US读PHD的根本没有工作经验的GMAT 770，已经拿到了一个TOP5的OFFER。

LZ不要气馁，可以找被录取的人，多咨询一下，投其所好，多取经。我觉得申请商学院就是靠包装。ESSAYS写的好的人一定代表他合格吗？

越来越发现BSCHOOL的申请是件很无聊的事。

Comfort. Understand your feelings. But we have to move forward. I know it is hard to accept the fact. But we can't do anything about the result. I had thought I would be admitted by Wharton, but I was dinged despite a very good interview. Now I'm rushing for the R2 application. Hopefully we will have good news next year. Just remember, there are many people who are dinged by M7. Most just don't want to talk about it as they don't want to open the wound.
