Harvard is typically the first business school to release their essays each year. But this year Columbia Business School (CBS) has beat them to the punch as they released their 2014 MBA essays last week. It is a smart move by CBS, as they are always encouraging as many applicants as possible to apply in their Early Decision Round (deadline October 2nd).
Essay 1 – Given your individual background, why are you pursuing a Columbia MBA at this time?
Essay 2 – Columbia Business School is located in the heart of the world’s business capital – Manhattan. How do you anticipate that New York City will impact your experience at Columbia?
Essay 3 – What will the people in your Cluster be pleasantly surprised to learn about you?
The CBS Early Decision deadline seems like it is ages away – but it will be here before you know it! Applicants that get started on their essays early typically achieve superior results in the end. So get started as early as possible! And of course, if you would like insights on how to approach the newly released 2014 CBS MBA essays, feel free to reach out to us at: david@transcendadmissions.com
