Columbia Admission

Hello Team,

I am currently in process of researching fro colleges.I wanted your advice on Columbia Business School.

Before we begin few information about my background;I am interested in International management .So my first choice is Columbia.But it seems for Indian guys with Technology background Columbia is interested in only IITians working in finance with high (read approx 97%) rejection for others from technology background despite good credentials.I personally know 4 IITians working in finance to be selected.

Can you please inform me if Columbia has been this selective and what are my chances given the fact that I am non-IITian with Technology engg background and 3 years international exp in paris,volunteering work for last 6 years?

Regards
Avg Guy

Well, the numbers work against you I think here. The IT thing CAN work out at Columbia as well as at other top schools, which all take great IT folks every year (even if it IS a huge pool, but it just means you have to better than the others). On the other hand not being an IIT grad is harder to overcome unless you have something really special in your profile.

which you should look for of course!

But I do agree with you that CBS will likely be a stretch,

Best,
JF

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
