Agree on renaming the thread to Class of 2015. Has Columbia began admitting any folks to the J-Term yet (from the Regular Fall Waitlisters) ? Thanks for the info!
Cheers

what's the demographic typically like for a J-Term student? I currently have 5 years of experience in IB / Corpfin so just curious if this is the type of program for me. Haven't met anyone from J-Term

Do you want to stay in that career field or something similar? Typically J-term is bad for career switchers or fields where you tend to get hired from a summer internship(since you won't have an internship). If you have strong experience and don't need an internship then this is the quickest route through the program and might be good for you.

I don't mind staying in the current field I'm in actually (strategy and planning). When I started the process I was set on going back to a part-time program but the idea of getting an MBA from M7 sounds way more appealing now after hours of research I did i-banking before switching to corporate (I was in final round for a small PE fund...which I didn't get) and I still have a glimmer of desire to go into IM...but most likely to end up in CF.

Submitted my application on 16th Aug. Waiting to hear! Seems like it is a 2 - 3 week wait.
Do they send a confirmation saying all aspects of the application are in place?
I don't think they will tell you when everything is set. I think the best way is to double check the application proof and submission sheet (that shows the required documents). If you're unsure, maybe its best to call the office and ask... but I didn't receive a notification.
