Columbia Announces Its Recommendation Questions 2016-2017!!
Columbia Business School has become one of the first top MBA programs to release their required essays, deadlines, recommendation questions and general requirements for the 2016-2017 admissions season! The actual online application will be available next month in May 2016, but you can see the required recommendation questions below. Be sure to approach your potential recommendation writers early so they can write outstanding recommendations for you!
2016-2017 Columbia GSB Recommendations
Directly from the Columbia GSB website:
All first-time applications require two recommendations. Reapplicants are required to submit one new recommendation. If you have been working full-time for at least six months, one recommendation should be from your current supervisor. The second recommendation should be from either a former direct supervisor or from another professional associate, senior to you, who can share their insights on your candidacy.
If you are a college senior or have worked full-time for fewer than six months, at least one, but preferably both, of your recommendations should be from a person who can comment on your managerial abilities. You may ask a summer employer or another person whom you feel can objectively assess your professional promise. The second recommendation may be from a college professor.
Please note that Columbia Business School and several of our peer institutions use similar, if not identical, recommendation questions. This is an effort on our part to make the process easier for your recommenders. We expect that you, the applicant, will not participate in the drafting of these recommendations. Applications are not considered complete until all required information is submitted. This includes recommendations.
We ask recommenders to consider the following guidelines when writing their recommendations (recommended limit - 1000 words):
• How do the candidate's performance, potential, background, or personal qualities compare to those of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles? Please provide specific examples.
• Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant's response.
Please be aware: The Admissions Committee requires that all application materials be submitted online, including recommendations.
