Request for a Student Contact in Columbia [#permalink] New post   21 Sep 2015, 06:38
Hi All,
I am applying to the Columbia full time mba this fall. I have a 750 on my GMAT. All my career goals and ambitions are set in place.
However to draft the application essays properly, I need to have a discussion with someone who is studying or studied in Columbia. This will help me in getting some valuable insider info that I can put in my essay.
Can any of you help me out here.

Pleasee!!! Do ping me if anyone can extend some help. :)

Post the query at calling-all-cbs-applicants-2016-intake-class-of-198369-160.html

Also, the best way to go about it to mail/call the admissions and ask them to provide you the contact details of people similar to your profile . Additionally, look up some of the officers at one of the clubs that you would like to be a part of at Columbia. Mail those officers and see if anyone replies. I did that for Kellogg and got a reply the same day.

I agree with the user above: contact the club presidents. My strategy was to reach out to club presidents and current students who had similar professional backgrounds using either e-mail or LinkedIn. You kind of just cold call and try to get in front of people.

This is the best way. A lot of the clubs don't have links, but you'll eventually find some that do have links and some will even post specific contacts to reach out to if you are a prospective student.
