Hello Everyone,

I've recently completed my J-Term application for Columbia Business School and came across something that has me concerned. In the "Financing Your MBA" section, I indicated that I anticipate being sponsored by my employer and have attached the corresponding sponsorship letter. However, at the end of the application, it still shows an "Estimated Remaining Cost" of $130,000 USD.

Did I make an error in filling out this section? Should I reach out to Adcom to clarify? Has anyone else faced a similar issue?

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
