Yeah, applying early as the first deadline is June 17 is strongly recommended. As you can imply readiness and seriousness about J-term + Rolling admissions can help you avoid any last minute stress. We’re doing free virtual walk-ins for ding analysis and J-term Q&A at MBA Conquerors this month, if you need any questions answered to see if you’re a right fit.

Hi, is this for J-term 2026 or 2025?
I think it’s the same chat that gets used every year, the forum may have some separate threads though. Chat is more or less the same

No idea about WhatsApp community though, it just launched this year.

I’m currently exploring the January intake at Columbia Business School and would really appreciate insights from current students or alumni. I’m seriously considering a career switch post-MBA, and I’m also planning to live and work in the US after graduation.

From what I’ve read, the Jan-term does not offer a traditional summer internship, and this has me a bit concerned. For someone looking to pivot careers, the internship is typically a key part of that process.

A few questions for those familiar with the program:
1. What are the pros and cons of the Jan intake compared to the August intake?
2. Is there any way to pursue internships or part-time work during the program to gain relevant experience?
3. For career switchers, has the lack of a summer internship been a major hurdle, or are there alternative paths to break into a new industry?
4. Does the Jan-term cohort have access to the same recruiting opportunities and networking resources?

Any personal experiences, advice, or perspective would be incredibly helpful!

Thanks in advance!
