Just got rejected from Columbia

edmund_zh

整整7周后，等来了以下的message：

Although the Admissions Committee has given careful consideration to your application for admission to Columbia Business School, we are unable to offer you a place in the class. The number of students who apply for admission to the School is many times greater than those we can accept. It is unavoidable that we must disappoint many fine candidates.

It was extremely difficult to make this decision, and we sincerely hope that our inability to accept you will not discourage you from seeking other ways to achieve your goals. If you wish to reapply to a future term, please visit our website at www4.gsb.columbia.edu/mba/learnmore/applynow/reapply for a reapplication checklist.

一些update：

昨天很多朋友收到哥大的拒信，貌似哥大在清仓，但都是中国人和印度人。

感觉今年的financial crisis对于我们这样的国际学生的影响还是蛮大的。在和哥大的adcom的交流中，我发现他会考虑我的财务状况（因为哥大的贷款也没有了，需要co-signer），要求我写正式的email给他说明我有能力支付所有的费用（最后好像也于事无补），然后加到我的申请材料里去。

throwing 100w to Columbia is only one of the solutions, the costing one~

GMAT 750也被拒啊，拍拍

我猜原因之一是，哥大明年的面向国际学生的贷款取消了，致使像我这样的学生在申请中很不利。

I also got rejected from Columbia today. After waiting for 4 weeks.  The rejection came 2 hours after calling admissions for a status update. Even went on the couple of campus events and host program.  None of that seemed to help.... Looking at the spreadsheet on businessweek, nobody with master's degree got in. Very disappointed....
