Recommendation Requests
All applications require two recommendations by third parties. If you have been working full-time for at least six months, you should submit at least one recommendation from your employer. The second recommendation should be from either a former direct supervisor or from another professional associate, senior to you, who can add personal insight into your candidacy.
If you are a college senior or have worked full-time for less than six months, at least one, but preferably both, of your recommendations should be from a person who can comment on your managerial abilities. You may ask a summer employer or another person who you feel can objectively assess your professional promise. The second recommendation may be from a college professor.
If either of your recommenders chooses not to submit an online recommendation, please make sure a copy of the MBA Application Recommendation Request is included with his or her written recommendation.
Reapplication
If you have applied to Columbia Business School within the past 12 months, you may submit an abbreviated reapplication. The reapplication checklist will serve as a guide. The application fee is U.S.$250.
Checking Your Status
Because the processing of applications can take three to four weeks, please wait at least three weeks after submitting your application before contacting our office with questions or concerns about your application status. We encourage you, however, to check your online application status as often as you like.
