Hi,

 

We wanted to invite you to our next chat on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 1 p.m. ET when Mary Miller, assistant dean of admissions at Columbia Business School, and international student Rui Francisco take your questions on everything from essay questions to campus culture.

 

To participate in the chat, you should head to http://www.businessweek.com/bschools about 15 minutes before the chat is scheduled to begin. On that page, you will find a promo for the chat (on the right-hand side toward the bottom of the page). Click on the promo until you arrive at the chat room. You’ll be prompted to register with the site if you have not done so already. It’s free and should only take a few minutes. Feel free to get in touch with me, if you have questions or difficulties participating.

 

We look forward to seeing you at the chat.

 

All the best,

Francesca

 

Is there a transcript from the chat room? I just seen this and have missed it.

Hi,

We edit the transcripts for formatting and spelling and grammar errors. Then, we post them usually within a week of the event. You can expect the Columbia transcript soon. I'll try to remember to post the link on this discussion thread. Feel free to ask me again if you haven't heard from me by next week. Thanks for your interest.

All the best,

Francesca

I want to go to Columbia for Business school, but not sure how I stack up against other applicants. I know there is AcceptEdge.com for high school students to use to determine if they will get into the desired university of their choice, but does anyone know if there is another service like that for grad school?? I hear it's really helpful...now if only I could find one that applies for graduate school, too. Any help will do!

Hi,

I don't know about particular services. But you can compare your stats with the average ones of those who are accepted into the program. Just head to the Rankings and Profiles page at BusinessWeek.com and look at the profiles for full-time MBA programs that interest you. Here's the link - http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/

Why are you drawn to Columbia? Are you looking at other schools?

Good luck.

Best,

Francesca
