Columbia Class 2009 Chinese答疑专贴

hj051635

刚毕业，BBA，之前在国内一家小进出口公司上了6-7年班。一个半月考了两次GMAT，从660到740，GPA 3.9，口语一般。Interested in asset management, starting own business right now. The business website is still under construction but could be at least half done by the end of Feb. 相信: 我拥有的钱越少，离神越近。为了拥有尽可能少的钱，我需要尽可能多的能力。This is the reason why I’m determined to pursue a Columbia MBA. Look forward to meeting you there.

Asset  Management competition is extremely fierce is year in the job market. Make better preparation if you really want to pursue a career in it.

请问columbia incellerated mba program要求的条件之一，“不考虑转专业”，具体是什么意思？

本人是计算机专业，想读这个program，平时因工作需要天天和银行业务打交道。如果打算毕业以后从事information technology的工作算不算转专业，如果改行做finance 方面的工作，可以做什么样的工作呢？

另外，问一下columbia的双学位financial engineering就业需求怎样？看网站介绍，似乎工程系 办的，这个专业跟计算机系联系大么，是否只做模型一类的事？

The accelerated program you mentioned is the January-Term (J-Term) program.  The program is 4 semesters, just like the regular program.  However, you start in January instead of September, and you will not have a free summer to do a summer internship. The summer internship is very important if you plan to get a job in a difference industry, country, or company.  The official line is that you should apply J-Term, if you already have a job lined up (or start your own business) after you graduate and thus have no need for the internship. 

It is unclear whether an MBA is entirely appropriate or necessary for your IT aspirations.  It really depends on what you want out of the MBA.  Rather than thinking about how you meet the requirement of the MBA, I suggest you think hard about how the MBA fits your goals and aspirations, because it is a large investment of time and money.

The financial engineering program has a narrow focused toward the quantitative side of finance.  The MBA is a general program that covers all aspects of business.  It is possible, but rare, to get both degrees, because these degrees lead to different kinds of jobs.

Personally, I feel the MBA is a better choice due to its breadth.  However, I am biased.

首先向楼主致敬！

我是大二的学生，我现在英文水平比较差，尤其是单词量很少。四级左右的水平吧。我也很想考COLUMBIA BSHCOOL.我知道要GPA TOEFL GMAT 和工作经验。

能不能告诉我一个量化的数字，就是GPA TOEFL GMAT大约在哪个分数段，工作经验要几年，我现在正在创业，自己和几个同学开了一家公司，在我毕业时就会有两年半的经验。不知这算不算工作经验。

还有申请学校的日期和基本步骤。有牛人写推荐信是不是会加重申请的比重。

二年左右的时间来准备 TOEFL和GMAT，跟据楼主的经验能不能帮我拟一个基本的复习计划。

感激不尽。
