今天参加了Columbia的information session. 宣讲员很快的过了一遍presentation,然后是简短的校友聊天，总体感觉像是赶时间。校友还是挺友好的。不过我已经感到很浓的finance气氛，7-8个校友中只有2个做了非finance的行业，他们原来的专业还是跟金融有关的。我没有金融背景，想申请Columbia,是不是很难。听校友说学校还是比较balance,但是为何不少事实（学校课程，录取学生背景，毕业生就业去向，等）都显示这个学校更适合有金融背景的人申请。我有点犹豫！ 请教各位。

请问关于免托福是怎么个免法？需要你自己申请并说明？还是写明有美国的学位就够了？

Only 1 alumnus presented in Beijing CBS information session.

He ever worked for several IB, solomon, Lehman brothers.

I think as CBS is near wall street, for IB background applicants, development career in New york is more possible. Anyway, CBS need ensure that everybody after graduation could get high paymeng job opportunities as soon as possible. So Our career goal matters here.

I tried to set up a CBS Beijing Alum Club but the school said there are only 26 alum (from all years...) in Beijing. Much less than in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Once I relocate to Beijing, I will start the efforts. Guess ppl will get better sense then.

Thanks, Suncola.

You are so warm hearted.

The alumnus of CBS was very nice and answered the people's questions patiently. He give us an impression of being able, smart, aggressive, confident and professional.  Strict creiteria ensure the quality of raw materials and finished good of CBS. No one could enter unless he is qualified.

大家好, 我们是Columbia今年Fall入学的Class 2009 Chinese学生. 首先感谢大家对Columbia Business School的兴趣, 希望大家今年的申请都能一切顺利. 由于Columbia的Early Decision  Round开始的比较早, 估计很多同学们都已经完成了Package的写作甚至已经递交了申请. 因为我们的Orientation八月二十号就开始了, 本周开始正式上课, 所以大家自从来到NYC之后就异常忙碌, 也没有能够早点在CD上开贴回答大家对哥大的疑问, 在这里向大家说声抱歉. 不过CBS的Schedule非常紧张, 我们每天的功课和Recruiting Activity都非常多, 因此只能尽量抽出时间来这里看大家的帖子, 所以以后有些帖子可能无法及时回答, 希望大家见谅.

首先介绍一下我们这些来自大陆的新生的背景, 估计有很多人对此很感兴趣. 我们Class 2009总共有7位同学是直接从大陆被录取的, 台湾这届有六位同学, 香港三位, 澳门一位.

我们七个人之中, 四位是在Early Decision ROund被录取的, 三位是在Regular Round被录取的, 所以大家就算错过了ED,也没有太大的关系, 在Regular Round还是有很大的机会的

我们七个人中, 性别分布是四男三女.

三位来自北京, 来之前有两位在VC工作, 一位在政府机关

两位来自上海,一位在外资银行, 另外一位来自合资基金

一位来自天津, 在一家外企从事Business Strategy工作

一位来自广州,在一家美资企业从事General Management工作

至于上一界的大陆学生情况, 在御风行的帖子中已经有详细的介绍, 上一界来自中国大陆的新生总共也是七位.

至于我对Columbia的印象吗, Well, 来Bschool之前, 虽然已经有点思想准备, 但是Bschool的紧张程度还是超乎想像的. 大家无论来之前基础多么好, 来了以后铺天盖地的Case, Assignment, Project, Party, Social, Club Activities还是会让人吃不消的. 不过, Columbia能够给人带来的机会, 也是超乎想象的多. 大家基本想从事任何职业的话, 在NYC都能找到机会的. 当然, 付出与回报绝对成正比.

OK, 不多说了, 期待大家的问题, 我会尽量解答.

再次感谢大家对Columbia Business School的关心

   We can see:  VC 2

                        Government 1

                        Banking  1

                        Fund        1

                        Foreign enterprise 2

  Quite balanced!

 But Except you are also quite balanced and very strong in several aspects, the opportunity to get in is very tiny!

我想问问，一般材料出去之后，

大概需要多久才能得到回音？
