Basic guarantee Karen:.. Hi Matthew, thanks so much for joining us Today I am going to mainly focus on the admission
aspects of the Columbia MBA I learned that you have been in MBA admissions for seven years, so what trends have you
seen in the applications?

Matthew: We have seen growing interest in entrepreneurship, social enterprise, and health care Specifically for
entrepreneurship, social enterprise, students express interest not only immediately after their MBA, but we also see
students starting their own ventures or going.

Basic guarantee Karen: Definitely And you also have the tradition of alumni interview Do you believe this can make sure

Basic guarantee Karen: So candidates are being trained to be "like an MBA student" before they actually step on
campus.

Matthew: Yes, I think that's a great point We want the candidates to start thinking about what it will be like to be a student
at Columbia Business School before they hit 'submit' And, of course, we want them to learn about.. our School and
community to ensure it is a good fit for them. Talking with current students, visiting campus if possible, or attending some
of our virtual events are all good ways to go about this. It is important to understand not only what it might be like to be
part of our wonderful community, but also what it takes to get the most out of a Columbia MBA education and advance
their careers.

Basic guarantee Karen:. CBS is one of the few schools that have a "career goal" essay How do you assess whether
candidates' goals are reasonable Do you consult with the career services office when evaluating candidates??

Matthew:. We have open communications with our Career Management Center They are a wonderful group of very
knowledgeable and experienced people, and are dedicated to the success of our students We will sometimes ask for
their advice in evaluating career goal feasibility, but most often. we are able to make these judgments ourselves, in large
part due to the educations we have received from our colleagues in Career Management. We ask about goals in our
applications because we want students to arrive on campus able to hit the ground running and immediately take
advantage of the potentially overwhelming resources of Columbia Business School, at the very center of business, can
provide.

Matthew: We value the unique perspective each of our alumni can provide They have been applicants, students, and
alumni, so they have seen sides of MBA experience We greatly value their perception of the candidate's fit with Columbia
Business School and their potential they.. see in the applicant to contribute to the CBS community, as a student and as a
future alumnus / a. We want to know, is this a person you would want to be on a learning team with or in the classroom
with? Is this someone you would like to be a part of your alumni network? Their insight in this regard in incredibly helpful
to us.

Basic guarantee Karen: What kind of student do you think might NOT be such a good fit to CBS I mean, when reviewing
applications, any read flag that really says to you, "Maybe this is not the right candidate for us"??

Matthew: Ultimately I think candidates should decide for themselves if they fit, asking themselves: Do I want to be part of
this community Am I inspired by the people I meet We are bringing in a students from a variety of backgrounds and
everyone has?? their own unique stories and experiences. It is really wonderful to see a group of very diverse and
different individuals come together, learn from each other, and become a class and a community. I do not think there is
anyone I would discourage from applying to Columbia, as that is a decision only a prospective student can make for
himself or herself.

Basic guarantee Karen: Many schools are further expanding their advantages like connecting with industries in the west
coast, so what's the most exciting development at CBS in the recent years?

Matthew: We continue to evolve in both leadership and entrepreneurship.

Our students now take a course called Lead: People, Teams, and Organizations during orientation to kick of the core
curriculum This course has proven an invaluable asset to our students in helping them define and work to develop their
leadership and team skills right at the. start of their MBA educations. of course, these are skills that continue to develop
throughout their four semesters on campus, and Lead provides an excellent base on which to continue growing and
learning.

Our students continue to show more interest in entrepreneurship and the School continues to add resources to help our
students succeed as entrepreneurs. The School started The Lion's Lab which links first year MBA students with a variety
of resources to help them launch their ventures before they leave business school. The University has also open the
Columbia Startup Lab (CSL), a co-working and incubator space for University alumni located in downtown Manhattan.
