# resume go through, why make career transition? Detail explanation after the facts in CV
# what's ur feeling about Columbia's unique thing?
# the intention for business school and why columbia is the best choice? Actually, should better prepare for the linkage with the real situaion. Not just the obvious common reasons but aline with your own story.
