Calling All 2010 CBS Applicants (MERGED)

Updated Roll Call Page.

In for Early Decision

Write me for ED

I have a question about LoR.
One of my recommendations originally will be not english. How should I submit it? The site says I should download a form for my recommender. But I see only Transcript form in Downloadable Section.

Does anyone have the same problem?

The downloadable form is available when you add a recommender in the application. He/she will be sent an email with the link to the form. Here are the questions if you need them.

1. What is your relationship to, and how long have you known the applicant? Is this person still employed by your organization? If not, when did he/she depart?

2. Please provide a short list of adjectives describing the applicant’s strengths, and please compare the applicant’s performance to that of his or her peers.


3. Please comment on the applicant’s growth during his/her employment with you and on his or her ability to work with others, including superiors, peers, and subordinates.


4. In what ways could the applicant improve professionally? How does he/she accept constructive criticism?

5. Comment on your observations of the applicant’s ethical behavior.

6. What do you think motivates the candidate’s application to the MBA program at Columbia Business School?

7. If you could change one thing about the applicant, what would it be?

8. Are there any other matters which you feel we should know about the applicant?

xlick, thanks

i will add my non english recommender then and see whether the form will appear

I'm knocking the CBS door again, planning for ED. Good luck everyone!

xclick, sorry forgot about one detail

who should send the rec to the school? i mean hardcopies. Because in case i send them how the adcom knows i did not write them myself or smth like this?

Or the recommender should send them to me and then i send them to school?

Does anyone know of an online newsletter for CBS? I'm looking for additional resources for research. Thanks!

qlemon: I don't want to give you the wrong answer. So that you should call admissions and ask them.

Thanks xclick!

hey guys, because i'm an attention-whore, just wanted everyone to know that I've submitted today. Good luck everyone!

R1 applicant here.

Awesome !!!! Keep us posted

Not that I'm one to complain or anything, but I just received an update saying my application is under review. I thought Columbia does'nt start reviewing Early Decision applications until 8/17?

Wow already under review!! I think last yr TieneyChesey submitted a few days before deadline but her app went under view only after deadline...interesting. Good luck xclick, hope to join the pile in a few days

Thanks praz. I was thinking maybe admissions is early this year as far as application piles go

applied ED last year and was dinged w/o interview. if I were to reapp, is it generally better to do so in ED or R1?

thanks
