shorttheworld, what'south your opinion? Comment below:
May. y'all tin observe out early baronial. if y'all utilise in early september it stretches it to 2 months merely a lot of the late july and early august people constitute out before the stop of august
that'due south... FAST!
You will hear dorsum (and take to decide) from Columbia before you hear back from any other top schoolhouse. That'south why Columbia'due south early decision is catchy...

UFOinsider, what's your opinion? Comment beneath:
Look, so it doesn't necessarily position you better to employ early???
It does. The issue is that you lot'll have an offering from Columbia in hand that you'll have to answer to before y'all hear dorsum from other schools. Also Columbia has this line every bit office of their early admissions requirements:
"Candidates have decided that Columbia is their first pick and must sign the following statement of delivery within their applications: I am committed to attending Columbia Business School and will withdraw all applications and decline all offers from other schools upon admission to Columbia Business School."

information technology does, either mode if u employ to columbia ED you are 'committed' and drop 6k on the early decision
think it does in the sense that you have a higher % of getting admitted
thank you all. my concern is not the being commited part equally im prettyy certain Col is my first option at this betoken (wrote virtually this is in a previosu post). I just wanted to see if I would demand to get-go working on the other apps for round 1 at the same time but from what im seeing hither, i can become a decision in august and still haven plenty of fourth dimension to set up other apps before most schools october round 1 deadlines
sounds practiced... so cbs, constrict, darden ed all the mode!

Use in July. I knew Columbia was my top selection.. I applied in August ... around the 9th and was admitted September 15th :)
Short is right. As soon as the app goes live in May, yous can kickoff submitting for early decision. Columbia reviews and makes decisions on its J-term applicants prior to starting the early decision applicants. It's feasible to interview in July/August and accept a decision by the terminate of Baronial. Look at the Columbia thread on gmatclub to get an idea.
Also previously mentioned, Columbia's early decision round is binding. So if they take you, you owe them a $6k deposit within two weeks of notification of your acceptance.
Early decision isn't binding if yous are deferred to regular conclusion...or dinged (plain).
Mayhap, if you lot submit your application really early on. CBS has rolling admissions, so in near cases, the sooner you submit, the sooner you lot'll hear dorsum.
I applied 7/16 of concluding year and was admitted on 9/xiv. I would take probably heard back earlier, but it took my interviewer more than ii weeks to submit their feedback. At 9/14, you'll have near 1 calendar month to prep for the other top schools' R1 dates.
I think a 45-60 day time frame for CBS ED is best case scenario, and just achievable if yous use before August. Also, even though it'south a rolling process, if they're on the fence about you, they could notwithstanding hold off on a conclusion for a month or two or even defer you into regular decision.

How much does early admission increase your chances of being admitted?
Information technology's really difficult to say. An ad comm fellow member I spoke with said that the admissions rate for ED applicants is considerably higher than RD applicants, but there is manifestly some self-selection in that puddle. I recall CBS really concentrates on yield and manages to an unusually high yield (72% or so), so they are more probable to admit a marginal candidate who is nearly guaranteed to accept on offer in the ED round than after on. Also, because CBS is rolling, early applicants are always at an advantage relative to afterward ones as the spots brainstorm to make full.
I don't think anyone tin can give a solid answer for how much it helps, just I call up anyone who would be very happy going to CBS and is not a 100% lock at an M7 should use ED. On the other hand if it is your 3rd or fourth choice and you are a loftier caliber candidate probably meliorate to expect for RD.

cphbravo96, what's your opinion? Comment beneath:
I didn't read through all of the posts so this may have been covered, but you will either need to run a dual process of Columbia ED and so a few other schools for First Round or you volition accept to practice Columbia ED and and so expect to find out then go your apps together for Second Round at your schools of option assuming you don't get admitted to Columbia.
Your best bet is to just go to the private web pages of the programs you are interested in and check out the dates. I was recently looking at a few schools, not Columbia, and it seems like the ones that had early decisions don't requite you an respond until it would be besides tardily to set up an application for other 1st rounds...which is why I mentioned preparing the 1st round apps will waiting for the decision from Columbia. I realize that defeats the purpose of non trying to fill out a bunch of unnecessary essays, etc. but information technology seemed to me that the timeline is almost intentionally structured so you tin can't game the system.
Basically I think borderline for accepting or rejecting an early admissions offer from Fuqua comes correct before you would hear back from Darden about a first circular app. Early Decision is actually geared for people that are virtually sure they want to be at that program. You probably volition simply have to judge your likelihood of getting into your 'backup' schools with 2nd round applications if you really want to avoid all the filling out of potentially unnecessary applications.

does anyone take specific numbers? (credence rate / numbers for ED and RD)
likewise, is the ED process whatsoever dissimilar than RD other than the timing?
For specific numbers I don't retrieve adcomm publishes these, but you can take a look at the the GMAT Society forum for the 2012 statistics (obviously this is a biased sample, just it should give a sense of the magnitude of the difference).
On the second question, I believe the answer is no, there is no divergence, or at least non one that I saw on the admissions page or awarding.

ayn876, what's your stance? Comment below:
Does anyone take a sense for when is considered 'late' to apply to Columbia Early D (given that it's rolling)? Submitting a calendar month or few weeks earlier the regular decision borderline is considered very late - wondering if that holds true for Early on D also. Cheers!
not sure just just to re-open this post. has anyone had whatsoever contact about an interview still for CBS ED. I submitted my application a few days ago and I'm hoping for a quick turnaround.
I retrieve even for ED, the 12 week turnaround is pretty standard. I think if I think correctly from the admit forums on BeatTheGmat the ED decisions may have been a bit faster, 9 or ten weeks from awarding to decision.

DCFwacc, what's your stance? Comment below:
So what if I utilise to Columbia ED, make it, but inside two weeks of acceptance my circumstances modify and I decide I don't want to get to business school at all? Would I still accept to pay the $6k, or if I explain my circumstances is at that place a way out?
No, the 6K is due two weeks after admissions, so if your circumstances modify earlier then you lot do not have to pay. Additionally, yous but verbally commit to withdraw all other b-school decisions, non to attend concern school with 100% certainty. Meet details: https://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/mba/admissions/options#ed
if you haven't yet paid the $6k and then just don't pay it. if yous have already paid information technology then information technology's gone. it'southward that simple.
but i assume what you really want to know is if you tin renege if you lot get into another schoolhouse within that 2 weeks and all the same go along your $6k. how else could it mayhap work out that in exactly the 2 weeks later on admission you suddenly have this realization that b-school isn't for yous? if at all, you would probably realize earlier in which instance you are obligated past simple decency to withdraw your application.
It is in extremely bad class to rescind your application or not pay the $6k later on you've been accepted. Deferring your enrollment is an option, merely if you don't pay the $6k, you'll burn bridges. It doesn't look very favorably on you, and I don't know if CBS will talk with other schools. Only employ to CBS if you are sure it's your #1 choice and you're sure you want to get to concern school. Messing with ED is not a adept idea.
reneging on ED won't fire any bridges and other schools don't care. i do think one should pay the $6k either style but if the timing works out perfectly and you hear from another school within the 2 weeks, i'm non certain i would propose someone to pay information technology anyway as a function of ethics/morality. mba admissions is a convoluted non-transparent game that certainly isn't underpinned by morality on the part of adcoms. just do what'southward best for y'all. the waitlist and most of the admitted class are largely interchangeable...the school doesn't suffer if they take to pick a waitlister to replace yous.

Columbia MBA Early Decision - Notifying other schools? (Originally Posted: 09/30/2012)
Does Columbia notify other schools (i.east. M7) with list of students admitted via Columbia's Early Decision?
Of form not, and if they did, it could only really work against them.

Columbia Early on Decision (Originally Posted: 02/xviii/2009)
Okay, I am but curious, what are the repercussions for not accepting an offer of admission at Columbia GSB during Early on Decision circular? I am aware you are losing out on a $6,000 eolith, but what else can they do to you if you simply determine you exercise not want to go to Columbia GSB anymore? Is the statement of intent legally binding? Can they sue y'all or notify other MBA programs of your deportment?
Best Response
They keep your $6K equally consideration.
Nix they can or will practice. Too busy to concord grudges and go afterwards people.
Should you rescind, at that place are 20+ people on the waitlist that would be more than than ecstatic to take your spot, and everyone is happy - yous get to the school you want, Columbia gets an extra $6K, and they go an applicant off the waitlist who is happy nearly attending Columbia. You lot are just $6K poorer.
Believe me, their yield from the ED round is far from 100%. A healthy minority rescind each and every yr without repercussions.
The other schools don't like the ED process because it'southward a way for Columbia to artificially inflate their yield (and therefore their selectivity overall because the RD round becomes much harder) while potentially intimidating applicants from NOT applying to other schools. And then the whole "upstanding" argument Columbia tries to foist on applicants. It'southward like request applicants to honor a process (ED) that other schools don't view as particularly "fair" either.
As far lawsuits, it's non worth the lawyer's fees and the time involved. Non to mention information technology would hard for the schoolhouse to prove how they take been damaged by your deportment (they keep your $6K, and a "comparable" educatee in an already subjective admissions process happily takes your spot off the waitlist; not to mention having to open up up their admissions criteria/process to scrutiny past the courts to decide that the schoolhouse indeed suffered some damage as a consequence of your deportment to rescind).
Don't be intimidated at all by CBS ED policy.

GoodBread, what'due south your opinion? Annotate below:
Discussion through the grapevine is, they used to take rescinders to Republic of colombia and ask them "How do you like Columbia at present?!?" a couple months later. Then ane guy struck it big with a druglord downward there and started his own operation. Word is compensation from this "Colombian MBA" so far exceed the average comp for Columbia MBAs that the programme was dropped in favor of the policy MBAApply so aptly describes.
