Good luck all J-Term applicants! Why is this thread so quiet?

J Term doesn't have summer internship, so can we assume that majority of J-Term applicants are not looking for career switch after MBA?

May be a dumb question- Is the TOEFL exam score required for CBS J-Term ?

Hi,
TOEFL is waived if the medium of instruction at your undergraduate study was English.

Guys, be real with me- is there any difference in the competitiveness of CBS regular admission vs the J Term?

I was accepted to J-Term on June 27th. I submitted my application a day after the application went live as I had prepared everything ahead of time. Truly thrilled to attend CBS next year!

Hi guys,

Hope you're having a great day.

I'm a prospective Indian applicant to the J-term MBA at Columbia.

I am a product manager, an ed-tech entrepreneur and tech enthusiast with 5+ years in the tech industry. My goal after MBA is to remain in product management but move into one of the tech biggies (Amazon/Google/Apple/Facebook/Microsoft).

I had a few questions with regards to the J-term. Would be great if you could clarify some of my doubts. I've reached out to alums but would also like to understand what the members here know about the J-term.

1. Since I'm not a industry switcher do you think a J term makes sense for me? (In the long term I would like to start my own company or move into a VC role)

2. What percentage of your international J-term batchmates were able to successfully find jobs and stay in the US? Did a lot of internationals/Indian return to their own country?

3. How good is the Columbia MBA for roles in tech companies? I know Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Apple recruited for MBA's, but were these for students from the J-term.

4. What is your opinion about the J-term? Do you believe you successfully achieved your goals through the program?

Sincerely,
Ishan Rana
