CBS RD

by thor5517 » Wed Jul 15, 2015 4:36 pm
Hello,

I had a question about CBS. If your applying Regular Decision to CBS is there any benefit to applying early (say before the HBS deadline)? I know they review ED apps first so the RD apps wont get looked at until late ~November I assume.

If you do submit early to RD can you still expect to get a decision by Mid december or are you most likely going to get a decision in mid January- cause that decision can change if you should apply R2 or not. Do you have any thoughts or past examples of this?

Also are RD applicants at a distinct disadvantage when compared to ED applicants?

Thanks! Any advice you have is greatly appreciated.

ED should confer a slight advantage to you, and if you are sure you want to go to Columbia I'd suggest going for it. Columbia hasn't yet published their notification deadlines, so it's not sure that you would get an answer before the next round. But in general, it is always advantageous to apply earlier.

Best,
Jon
