Hi Admissionado,
I know this is a longshot so I'm probably not end up applying due to my low GMAT score (I understand that 720+ GMAT would have been ideal) but wanted to get experts' thoughts on my profile.
To be honest, I feel like my profile is just a standard, cookie-cutter for my demographic pool, which is somewhat overrepresented, and I don't have any compelling life changing stories like I'm a North Korean refugee or etc to make my application competitive enough for admission. Although I'm curious as an international applicant if my U.S. based work experience and CPA license is any booster, if at all.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Background and nationality: Asian male, Korean, 31 yrs old
Undergrad Information: Top 15 public school in the U.S., GPA 3.6/4.0. I do hold both undergrad and masters degree in accounting.
GMAT: 690 (V38, Q48)
Work experience and leadership: Big 4 Audit (2 years in the U.S.), Fintech (1 year in SF), currently wrapping up 2 years in Big 4 transaction advisory in Asia office so total of 5 years of WE. Also I do have a California CPA license for what it's worth
Community and others: Nothing really notable imo
Post MBA goals: Investment banking or Corp dev

I agree that, based on what you have provided, Columbia is a longshot. Plus, with rolling admission it would have been better to apply earlier in the season.
Are you considering other schools or just CBS? They are many comparable programs that are lower ranked but might get you to where you want to go.
