Congratulations!

... Now what? 

 

Here are a few quick tips to get your started preparing for your Columbia Business School MBA admissions interview


Prepare early, and often

Start preparing right after you apply. My clients who apply in July, August and September are often invited within two weeks of submitting applications. Those who apply in November and December might take longer, more like one month. 

Even if Columbia does not invite you to interview, the preparation will help with other schools. Since Columbia interviews are conducted by alumni, I encourage you to start your self-study by using my "mirror method"


Respond quickly

Once you get invited to interview, do NOT take too long in deciding whom to contact regarding for your Columbia Business School alumni interview. As CBS admissions says, 

We strongly suggest that you arrange your interview within two weeks of this invitation and complete your interview within one month from today. Keep in mind that in a rolling admissions process, it will be to your advantage to schedule your interview for the earliest date convenient for both you and your Ambassador.

Columbia matters most to Columbia.
