($) When should a Columbia Regular Decision MBA app get submitted?

November 24, 2020 by EssaySnark - Discusses Columbia Leave a Comment

If you have Columbia Business School on your list of school targets this season, you may be wondering: When exactly do I need to submit my application in order to have the greatest chances of success?

What “rolling admissions” means right now

April 21, 2020 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Please don’t get caught up in misdirected hype around “rolling admissions” in the coronavirus era. The rolling round that many schools have implemented is totally unlike the standard deployment of “rolling admissions” from schools like Columbia operating in a normal year. (What does “normal” even mean anymore? Will we ever go back to “normal”? Is […]

April 8, 2020 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

On April 21, 2020, the President announced that a 60-day freeze will be placed on immigration to the U.S. We have no idea how that’s going to affect international students coming to the U.S. for their MBAs. 🙁 If you’ve been admitted to bschool, do you go? If you’ve been planning to apply, do you […]

($) “What’s the latest I can submit to Columbia Regular Decision and still have a shot?”

January 13, 2020 by EssaySnark - Discusses Columbia Leave a Comment

It’s now middle of January. The de facto Round 2 deadline for Columbia — what they call their “Fellowship deadline” –was January 3rd, which was unfortunately one of the very earliest of the January deadlines and which is now officially . If you did not submit by then, you’re not being considered for free money. […]

If you’re just joining us: Why applying to Columbia now is a bad idea.

February 4, 2019 by EssaySnark - Discusses Columbia

Columbia Business School is as you know a great school, but they do their entire process differently, both because they don’t have rounds in the same way as other schools, and instead have rolling admissions. And this could trip an unsuspecting Brave Supplicant up. So every year around this time, we take it upon ourselves...

Columbia MBA early decision deadline & acceptance rate

June 22, 2018 by EssaySnark - Discusses Columbia Leave a Comment

Now that Columbia has officially released its 2018 MBA essays and application, and the essay questions are, as usual, focusing on career goals and “why Columbia?” with the second one asking about being at the center…. So given the focus on an “early” application that we often see at this time, we wanted to dig […]

($) Columbia MBA: Early Decision, rolling admissions, when to apply

June 1, 2015 by EssaySnark - Discusses Columbia

Columbia does things differently. For one, as you may have noticed, they open their application earlier than a lot of their peer schools. Because of the unique processes and options, between the Columbia Early Decision and the J-Term Accelerated MBA, and how all of their admissions is rolling, it can be a little confusing. So...

($) If you’re aiming at Columbia Regular Decision… when to submit?

October 13, 2014 by EssaySnark - Discusses Columbia

With Columbia's rolling admissions for their MBA applications, when is the best time to apply to Regular Decision? Do you need to apply really early? Is January a good time to submit? There is a sweet spot for most people to send in their Columbia application and it's not when many believe it to be.
