Thanks

此外HOUSING情况能说明一下吗, 我现在在网上发现还没法开始预约明年FALL的HOUSING, 什么时候能开始预约, 到时候不会超级紧张吧?

you can't apply until april i think. you'll find relevant information in your to-do list. don't worry about it now.

yes school housing is limited, but as you are from shanghai you will definitely get one. UAH housing is not that bad especially when you take the location and the price into consideration. as for the policy, the farther you are from, the easier you will get housing. it's all distance-related. as china is on the other side of the globe, you get a very good chance

the problem is, if you come too early, you cannot move in yet. the move in date shoud be in early august or late july.

Yes you can choose from a list - a list of 3. I'm not sure if you will be lucky enough to see someone you already know on that list.

关于成绩单(在米国学校)的事,

请问能否从学校开正式成绩单, 但"ISSUED TO STUDENT",再和其他材料(比如,国内成绩单)一起寄给学校?

谢谢

as i have no US education background,  i have no idea. i think you'd better consult the admission office.

GMAT740/5.5    Architecture Designer, BA in China, Master of Architecture in US, 2 years exp in china, 3.5 years exp in US.     准备申R1 MBA, 哥大前辈帮忙看看拿到面试的机会怎么样哈。多谢啦。

你的背景比我得强多了，惭愧啊，我是觉得画图实在是画不出路来啊。我的msn:linlin7968(A) hotmail.com希望能和你多交流交流：）

逼着老板让你做设计阿，总是被人赶着画图是没劲的。

CBS的校友很友好的。

按照学校的要求，我同时发了邀请函给三个校友的。一个非常senior的校友说他正好在出差，但是他出差回来以后愿意和我见见面！他还祝我面试顺利。

约了一个做投资的校友。面试里面我谈到一个公司做得很好，我们想学他们，面试官说刚好是他朋友开的，准备介绍给我认识。这个面试官人也很友善，就是好像不是特别重视这个面试。他还说面试不是最重要的。

有些网站说CBS这种学校学生下了课就消失在都市里，学生关系不密切，对学校没感情，对校友不友好。我看是空穴来风。至少中国的校友都非常友好。

哥大羽毛球协会的中国人也很友好的，说欢迎我去blue gym 参加他们的活动。他们和U Pen, NYU, Princeton还定期有tournament，我去了大概可以当主力吧...嘿

I think the alumnus is right that the interview is not the most important thing in the application. Interview is just a double-check process. Very much like the VISA interview. I personally believe that your fate is 80% determined before the interview - just my personal view though.

As to the New York City distraction - yes there's something in it that many students live off-campus. However, people usually stay on campus till very late (say 10 pm), especially when there are recruiting events, social events, or simply study group discussion. Columbia students/alumni are especially passionate about the school - partly because the school screened the applicants and commitment to CBS is a very important component in the admission process.

Here are some social events/clubs that are especially important in the social life of CBS:

1) Happy Hour (HH).  Every Thursday evening, usu. from 6:30 PM to 10 PM. Pre-HH parties and after-HH parties are organized and turnout is great. Every HH is sponsored by a specific club and/or company, i.e. Investment Banking Club & Merill Lynch, Consulting Club & Bain, etc.

2) Social clubs, such as rugby teams (both men and women). The rugby teams are very good examples how in B-school everything serves to form relationships. These teams are more social clubs rather than sports clubs, you'll get to know this part of b-school life when you get here!

3) Inter/inner-cluster parties. The good thing about NYC is that you have all venues to hold dinners, cocktails, parties. These are in addition to the house-warming parties, gambling parties (strongly recommended, haha), drinking parties, b-day parties, and whatever parties you can think of, which will be held in a more intimate way. People get to know each other really well in such parties.
