Calling all Columbia MBA Applicants: Class of 2023 (2021 Intake)!

Did anyone in the group apply to the MBA program with Executive Assessment instead of GMAT?

HI All, I am planning to apply to CBS for the early application round. Can someone please let me know when does the application usually start and when does the deadline fall. The website(https://academics.gsb.columbia.edu/mba/ ... -deadlines) notes Oct 2nd as the last years decline for

continued- *early application. Whereas I have seen in a few blogs that the process starts from June. Request someone to shed some light on this topic.

You can expect similar timeline this year as well

Application opens in June and deadline will be Oct for ED

Hi All,

Do you think it's good to apply in the last round for August 2021? Or is it better to apply in the spring 2022 for an international student?

If you could share your stories or example of questions asked. I am planning to apply for 2022 intake so your help would mean a lot. Thank you !!

Srishtidiwan - please go through interview debriefs posted for CBS

CBS interviews are very straightforward. Usually a 2nd year or Alumni will interview you. They’ll only have your resume and a set of questions given by the school that they have to cover

Some Alumni may not stick to the script, but most do

Hey guys, anyone admitted to the J term ? Would love to learn a bit more about the j Term... any suggestions on the best way to find current students in the J term? Tried LinkedIn but no one specifically mentions the J term....thanks!

karantalchi - I’d say look for people who started CBS in January based on the timing of their work experience

From the decision tracker, you can see some admits for the J-Term. You can reach out to them as well. Did you do that already?

Hi, Did anyone received admit with Online gmat exam so far ?

Hello! How difficult is it for a management consultant to get accepted for August entry?

Hi - The 2022 deadline and essay topics are out

Thanks for informing! Does anyone know when applications are open? And an appropriate GRE score If so? Any admits with GRE Scores: would be helpful if y’all can post a rough range to target.. thanks !

Best of luck everyone!

There’s no right or wrong GRE score. It totally depends on your profile. My recommendation would be to figure out your target GMAT score based on other similar profiles that got into CBS. Once you find that, use the ETS GMAT to GRE converter to an equivalent GRE score. Lastly, add 1 or 2 points to this GRE score. This will be your target GRE score!

Schools say that they treat both GMAT and GRE the same, but there have been cases where I have seen otherwise. GMAT does get a very slight advantage because it helps the school with their ranking. Hence, my recommendation of adding 1 or 2 points extra

For example. If your target GMAT is 740, that converts to GRE of ~329. So, have a target of 330 or 331. Hope this helps!

Thanks a ton here legend! Super helpful

Hahaha, kuch bhi!

Best of luck karantalchi!
