Yikes. The application didnt mention anything.
Do you think they will really follow up and enforce this?

No idea. I've never seen such strong language on an app before.

Hopefully if they do follow up on this, the fact that it wasnt written on the app would help to get them to honor it.

As they say...YMMV.
If they get significantly more apps than there are Columbia MBA students they may ask for proof from everyone.

i'm not sure how legally they could deny you the points based on language on the landing page, when it says nothing of that sort on the actual app.

dan why are you being so generous with alien links on ddf

Chaikel · « **Reply #15 on:** May 15, 2011, 11:37:42 PM »

Guys, I had no idea.
I obviously would have given a full disclosure. Someone sent me the link, and asked me if it was a good deal.
That being said, ppl I know that applied, plus many reports in FT, were told that they were going to get the points.

What do you guys think of applying through this link for 50k (Gold), and IF they won't give me the points, trying to get the 75k from the other offer?

would it be stupid not to write that your a student if this is meant for columbia students?
