Question about Columbia

Hi! I reapplied to CBS Round 1 on Tuesday. I was curious if anyone has some anecdotal (or empirical) thoughts around reapplication chances compared to first-time applicants? For context, I was on the waitlist for this August's start class until mid-July, so I'm hopeful! Best of luck to everyone applying!

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1657 Not sure about that stat, but MBA programs, with few exceptions, like reapplicants. If you were left on the wait list that late, they likely saw things in your profile they liked. Did they provide any indication as to why you were placed on the waitlist? Which round did you apply? Are there any improvements in your overall profile, this time around? (0)

losiggy Likes Earned: 51 @alexbr4 - OP here - sadly, they do not offer any feedback (I still hinted at hoping for some). That said, I applied round 1 last year, but was further evaluated and moved to round two. I applied R1 for this year, with a 3 point increase on my GRE and tighter short-term and long-term career goals. Hoping for the best! (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1657 The 3 point increase and better focused goals, +1 year of work/life experience may well help, especially as a waitlisted candidate. Best of luck!! (1)
