lilcoconut Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Does anyone know much about this program---MS marketing at Columbia Business School? I am especially interested in their application pool--how many undergraduates and with what kind of background---and also the career prospects. There is very limited information on their website and according to their admission statistics it is VERY competitive program. Anybody would like to weigh in or is anybody knowledgeable about this program? Thank you!
bisakha_p Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Hey, I have applied to the program as well. I got in touch with a former student, she tells me that the student pool is a mixed crowd with some having extensive work ex and the rest joining directly from their undergrad. SoP seems to be one of the key admission criteria along with the resume. As for job prospects, most students have an academic interest and pursue their PHD post this Masters course. For the rest, the course does seem to open doors every where. Hope this helps. All the best.
lilcoconut Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 thank you for the reply! Do you know when they will send out admissions? I just applied a week ago for the April 1s t deadline. Do you know if they have rolling admission? Thanks!
bisakha_p Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 I applied for early admission and am yet to hear from them, Just got a mail saying the app is complete and they are starting the round of reviews in consult with their professors etc. Though the website says they get back by early march, the alumni says she heard from them only by april. Its gonna be a long wait. Sigh. You applied elsewhere?
lilcoconut Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 They seem to be so slow in the process!! This is the only ms marketing I've applied to, although I have applied to other psychology-related programs and have got in a couple of them already. I still feel I know very little about this program, and I have had frustrating experiences of getting in touch with the program and asking questions. Is it even a good program overall? Do you know from your resources if people are satisfied with the program in terms of academics and career preparation? Thank you!
bisakha_p Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I am planning to call them tonight and check status. God Speed an admit!
bisakha_p Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Everyone I know feel blessed to be accepted into the program. Highly rigorous one year of study but extremely gratifying...
lilcoconut Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Hi bisakha_p! Did you call them and find out about your decision? BEST LUCK!
Jessy Fang Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I am planning to call them tonight and check status. God Speed an admit! Hi, I also applied for the early admission, and still waiting for the result. Did you find out the status?
