ChiGSB final decision: 26th Mar (anytime after 7th Mar?)
HBS interview decision: 26th Mar (expected Ding!)
LBS final decision: 28th Mar
Columbia interview decision: anytime (hope dies in a week!)
On another note, I have finally crossed 100 posts (this one is the 101st) – surprising bcoz I wasnt sure initially whether this attempt at blogging would be sustained beyond 8-10 posts, but the entire application process (starting with the GMATs, then the essays, and now interviews) has been so all-consuming that I have been literally surviving on my blog and other blogosphere comrades.
To share some basic analysis (after all I’m a consultant, we get orgasms at the hint of data),
100 posts in 276 days : average 66 hours between posts (great!)
36,855 views : 135 views daily (270 views daily in the last 2-3 months)
311 comments : more than 3 involved readers for every post 
3216 spam : now thats what I call a popular blog !
I see you wrote “(any time after 7th Mar?)” after Chicago. Have you heard that Chicago starts releasing decisions in advance of the final notification date? I haven’t heard that, and I’d be very interested to find out if it’s true!
I think Chicago’s decisions are all released on a particular date – 26th March.
Hi… I guess Columbia takes in a fair number of candidates without interviews? Why do you say that your hope extinguishes in a week on CBS if you dont get an interview invit? Do all Indian candidates necessarily go through an interview – any info on that?

Hey, Did you hear from Columbia yet? I’m not sure about the interview questions mentioned above, as I was invited to do a phone interview when I was accepted (was living in a remote part of China at the time so I couldn’t do in-person).
Good luck!
