Dear Matt,
As a re-applicant, I have several questions:
1) I understand that only the re-applicant essay is required, but am I allowed to update my previous three essays?
2) I have improved my GMAT score and want my updated score to be considered in my application this year, where can I indicate that? (the website says that I should indicate which GMAT score I wish to be considered, but there's no place to indicate on the online application)
3) The online application asks me to name the names of current students I've talked to. I have talked to someone who will enroll this coming August (meaning she's not a CBS student yet but she will be), can I write her name down as a "current student"?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi kwu325,
Thank you for your questions! I've addressed each below:
1.) We prefer that reapplicants complete only the required essay. I suggest only submitting the required reapplicant essay. It is not possible to upload additional essays into the application.
2.) You are able to update your GMAT score in the online application. If you are unable to find the section of the application where scores are located please e-mail us at
apply@gsb.columbia.edu.
3.) Sure thing! You can include an admitted student in the application.
Best of luck,
