You will need to contact the Admissions Office about such a letter. Has it been pre-approved by the committee? If not, it may not count as these schools are VERY strict about what they will consider and not.

If this alum/donor is influential, he may have to go through whatever contacts he has at the AdCom or the school to get this in the right hands. Otherwise, it might get filtered out if not dealt with appropriately.

Good luck!

Hi,

When someone is submitting an informal letter of support for Columbia Business School, where do they send the letter? Directly to the CBS admissions email? What should the letter include?

Posted from my mobile device

Hello extrakangaroo22,

To ensure that the letter reaches exactly where it must, it is best that you check this with the Admissions Committee.

Thanks.
