请问哥大一般面试和录取得比例如何? 拿到面试但是不知道被录取得可能性能有多大. 谢谢指点!

Check out it here: .com

	MBA Program	面试	Wait-list	最终录取
1	Harvard	2		2
2	Stanford	3		2
3	Columbia	15	1	7
4	Wharton	13	5	6
5	Chicago	5		2
6	Kellogg	3		2
7	MIT Sloan

The exact number of admission for Columbia is not right. However, I think the ratio of admission is plausible.

hi, friends there

I plan to appy the MBA program of 2008 at US business schools. I'm graduate with major of finance, and now a fixed income trader at a top IB.  I would like to ask how I can differentiate myself from thousands of applicants worldwide with similar backgrounds, mainly by essays, GMAT or else? And how to balance my weakness since I will only have 2.5-year work experience by then.

In addition, we would really appreciate if you could share your feelings and understandings about CBS from a perspective of insider, because usually we could only know the school from outside. 

Thanks very much! my msn is lihaoshall(A) hotmail.com happy to get contact!

Hi there,

  

I think you have asked the right questions but need to figure them out yourself,
as both Yufengxing and I barely know you.  :-) Please think through your
strength and weakness, how differently you work, study, and communicate from
others. Try to come out with your own ideas. As long as you are honest to
yourself, you will find you are unique. 2.5- year w/e is fine with CBS
admission officers. We have younger admits in Class of 08. 

As insiders at CBS, I think both Yufengxing and I would say we love here, esp.
I am graduating this May. I consider these two years great life experience that
inspires my devotion to life and reveals more about myself. Like a slogan at
Goldman, CBS is a place to "open minds up". No matter if you wanna
enjoy life or aggressively progress in the two years, here we go with CBS. You
would be excited about the choices we have here. It is most likely to complain
about your busy schedule at every business school but CBS drives you to
outperform enjoyably under pressure - maybe feel tired physically but never in
mind. 

CBS emphasizes finance and investment insights and entrepreneurial spirit,
different from entrepreneurship at Stanford/HBS. This spirit addresses the
passion to innovate, willingness to take risk, and great efforts to achieve in
the end. Sophisticated skill sets would be introduced in class and at various
events/speeches to bring the ladder to your dream. Both Yufengxing and I have
posted in many threads about CBS's advantage and disadvantage, addressing the
issues about location, career, curriculum and life at school. Simply by searching
our usernames on this site, I believe you will find many clues. 

Good luck with the application and look forward to seeing you at CBS community.
Feel free to post questions in this thread. We'll do our best to help. Thank
you.

更新了Columbia Investment Banking Club 2007 Summer Intern Poll Result. 样本量：70

modern

看了intern的狀況

想請教一下各位大牛

瑞士信貸發生什麼事情了?  怎給出一卡車的offer都沒人要去?

還有美林也一樣  到底怎了?  這兩家公司在美國的營運出問題了嗎?

HSBC的狀況我知道，IB大賠錢，也不用徵人了....都在砍head count

我可以了解GS 人人都去，因為GS不但長久以來就被認同是IB界的王者，也同時在去年創下賺錢新紀錄。

但JP又是怎回事? 我以為JP的IBD並不特強

I actually hesitated before I posted the file online, as people might misunderstand the implications.

The yield of a bank does not necessarily reflect the strength of the bank, or the reputation of the bank on campus. It might just be a result of "fit", or total coincidence. Some banks, especially smaller banks, would not give offers to candidates who might also get offers from better banks - say Goldman Sachs. Some banks are more aggressive in hiring, and would give offers anyway. So it's obvious that the first kind of banks will have better yield. It's comparable to two applicants, one very aggressive and only applied to top banks, while the other rather conservative and applied to easier banks. Which applicant will get more offers? Which applicant gets better offers? Which one is more qualified? What do you think? 

I posted the file maily because:
1. The average # of offers per applicant, as well as the median # of offers per applicant, help people understand the competition in i-banking job search.
2. The # of offers banks give out is a good indicator and can help students better understand the competition in b-school.

你带杯子了吗

thanks，御风行，有一个小小的疑问。

对于一个500+人的program，在NYC,而且应该很大部分的人想要去IB工作的情况下，样本量70似乎小了一点儿吧？会不会有这样的情况，其实给response的这70个人都是成功的起码拿到了1个或者更多offer的人，而另外say 200来人都想去IB工作却没有拿到offer的人并没有回应这个poll，于是没有包括在这个样本中？

如果是这样的情况下，似乎不能真实的说明columbia学生中IB工作的竞争状况吧？

以上仅属个人猜测，欢迎jj指正：）

首先, 不是所有的人都想去作IB, 根绝我的了解, CBS大概每年愿意去IB的在150-200人之间, 所以70人的样本取样还可以

此外, CHinese里面很多人愿意去MC, 比如去年一月份那个班就有2个去了BCG Beijing, 而且手里都有好几个TOP MC的OFFER

今年暑假去Goldman Sachs作实习的大概是25个左右, 这70个RESPONDENTS里面有14个去GOLDMAN SACHS的, 因此样本的代表性大家大概可知一二

你带杯子了吗

哈哈，就算150人的话，70人的这个样本似乎也是biased的吧，因为根据常识来说，剩下的那80个人offer的状况应该没法和这70个人比吧？当然也有可能这80个人当中avg offer/person可能比回应的70个人更高呢，偶不了解CBS的人，这方面wind gg比偶有发言权
