The application and essay questions for the 2023 MBA program at Columbia Business School have been made available. The questions are similar to those from previous years, however, they have been revised to emphasize career objectives and fit.

Columbia University offers a fast-paced program in a fast-paced city. MBA students who aim to take full use of the unique resources given by Columbia and its surroundings in New York City will be a strong fit for the program. Another consideration is having the academic credentials to endure the rigors of Columbia.
The first essay question from CBS is about candidates’ long-term career goals, just like the goal statement, but in much more depth (at 500 words).
The second essay asks applicants to explain why they want an MBA from CBS.
The third essay asks candidates to talk about a favorite book, movie, or song.
