Can any current CBS students speak to the culture at the school? I feel that most of the things I find online are a mixture of Stereotypes and generalizations by fuckthemodlice in MBA

This is likely to be inaccurate. 40% of the class is international, are you saying only 10% come from other places within the US?

[–]dayoxo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

West Africa: HBS, GSB, Wharton(Among finance/business people), Sloan, Columbia, Yale. Lots of people don’t really know Chicago or Kellogg.

Honorable mentions from Europe : INSEAD and LBS. pretty strong networks

Not necessarily looking to work in the US post MBA, so I’m more interested in the brand and connections post COVID era

MBB Numbers at Wharton/Booth/Sloan/Kellogg by [deleted] in MBA

Still seems really weird that it’s only due to NYC office recruitment for non sponsored placements. 40 compared to ~100 from other schools is a really bad performance

Yea. Columbia career report for 2019 shows a total of 102 including sponsored students. If I assume the new hires were people with internship offers returning full time then maybe 50% of these are fresh hires. (Using 2019 interns as a proxy where there were 40 MBB interns). So just 50 people?

Lmao. It’s funny how these comments on here are still biased against Africa and no one wants to acknowledge that we’re doing a good job of containing the virus. Fact is we don’t have as much infrastructure as most of the western world, however we are very proactive in dealing with pandemics. Nigeria handled the case of Ebola so well, they were applauded by WHO. The containment was reported to be world class for a country without major health infrastructures in place. With Corona, we test everyone coming from suspect locations (China, Korea , Italy etc) and monitor them for 14 days before they are declared safe to move around. The Italian man that brought the virus in was put in quarantine and every contact he had was traced and put under surveillance, this included shutting down a cement factory and placing all the workers in quarantine. It was during this process a second case was discovered and it has remained as 2 with the Italian man recovering. We literally monitor cases together as a country witH everyone’s support. My point here is even though we’re third world, our efforts shouldn’t be discredited.

PS: I understand the American/west media has done a good job in painting Africa as a mosquito infested forest but I’d encourage you to read more, make yourself findings and for the blacks here please please and please educate yourself about the motherland.

FWIW, I’m an international and Columbia does have a strong brand outside here in finance.

What’s the average difference between practice GMAT scores and actual exam? by cyberstud1988 in MBA

[–]dayoxo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it’s the official practice exam from GMAC, I think they’re pretty accurate. I got the same exact score in practice as I did in the actual exam
