Question about Columbia

Hello Everyone,

I've recently completed my J-Term application for Columbia Business School and came across something that has me concerned. In the "Financing Your MBA" section, I indicated that I anticipate being sponsored by my employer and have attached the corresponding sponsorship letter. However, at the end of the application, it still shows an "Estimated Remaining Cost" of $130,000 USD.

Did I make an error in filling out this section? Should I reach out to Adcom to clarify? Has anyone else faced a similar issue?

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Question about NYU Stern

Did anyone else who applied to NYU R1 notice the application status page changed as of this morning? I noticed they removed where it said "the admissions committee is currently reviewing your application." Just curious if it means a decision for interview/waitlist/rejection has been made!

Round: Round 1
Received via email
GMAT: 770
Program Type: Traditional Two-Year
Note:

Interviewed 9/28. Lots of behavioral questions, including "How would you describe your leadership style", "Can you describe a time you received constructive feedback", "Can you describe a time you needed to depend on someone", "Can you describe a time you had to engage with different points of view and it was challenging or rewarding", "Can you describe a time you faced a challenge of an ambiguous situation and how did you handle it", "Can you think of any challenges you might face during the MBA", "Are there any courses or initiatives you want to get involved in at Kellogg". Interview went for about an hour and interviewer left lots of time to very honestly answer a lot of my questions.
