It is no surprise, given how many grads Columbia places into high-paying  Wall Street jobs every year.<\/p>\n<p>Are you thinking about applying to Columbia Business School? How do you  know if Columbia really is a good fit for you? Today we present four reasons why Columbia may be the perfect school for you to target for  your MBA experience:<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong>You have a bit more work experience<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile Columbia will review any application that comes in, it is tougher  for younger candidates to be successful here, while those with more work  experience might see a favorable outcome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You want an EMBA from two great schools<\/strong><br \/>\nEarning your degree through one of Columbia\u2019s Executive MBA programs, in  partnership with either London Business School, or UC Berkeley\u2019s Haas  School, means that you will be an alumni of both programs, offering a  combined breadth of opportunities and resources unheard of for graduates  of most elite programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You are not changing careers, and you are in a hurry<\/strong><br \/>\nAs mentioned above, the Columbia J-Term is the only accelerated MBA  program available in the U.S. It\u2019s not the right option for everyone,  but if you are committed to your existing career and<br \/>\njust need more skills to advance, or if you are an entrepreneur or will  be returning to a family business, the J-Term can be an ideal choice,  with lower opportunity cost than the traditional two-year track.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You want to work on Wall Street<\/strong><br \/>\nThis hardly needs to be mentioned, but in case it is not obvious:  Columbia is a major feeder program to the bulge bracket i-banks, hedge  funds, and the most elite financial institutions in the world. Goldman  Sachs only recruits at a handful of schools: here, and at Wharton and  LBS.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s blog post was clipped from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veritasprep.com\/business-school-essential-guides\/\" target=\"_blank\">Essential Guide to Columbia Business School<\/a>,  one of 15 guides to the world\u2019s top MBA programs, available for  purchase on the Veritas Prep site.
