Columbia MBA 2023-2024 Aug Admission 出願締め切りポリシー変更

Columbia MBA 2023-2024 Aug admission deadlineポリシーが変更となり、これまでのローリングアドミッションが廃止となり３回のラウンドによる出願締め切りになりました。

August 2024 Entry Application Deadlines
The August 2024 application will be available in mid-July.

Round Application Deadline Interview Decisions Released Final Decisions Released
Round 1 September 13, 2023 Mid-October Mid-December
Round 2 January 5, 2024 Early-to-mid February Late March
Round 3 April 3, 2024 Mid-to-late April Early May

To be considered for a particular August round, your application must be completed by 11:59pm Eastern Time on the deadline date for the round in which you apply. Your letter of recommendation and application fee must be submitted by the deadline for your application to be considered complete.
If your application is not completed by the deadline for the current round, it will be rolled into the next available application round in the current cycle for consideration.

The August-entry applications are reviewed in three rounds. While applications will not be reviewed until after each deadline, it is always helpful to apply well before the deadline to ensure all components are received on time. Deposit amounts vary by round. Please review the Deposits page for more information.

If you and your partner are both applying in the same year, we strongly encourage you to apply in the same round so that you will know if your partner has been admitted by the time you have to accept or decline your offer of admission.

詳細はこちら
https://www.agos.co.jp/pdf/TopMBASeminarSeriesEssay.pdf

エッセイ課題の種類を理解する

エッセイ課題は主に以下の3つに分類されます。まず、これらの理解を深めることがエッセイ作成準備の第一歩です。

Vision essay
キャリアゴールエッセイといわれるものです。主に①なぜ皆さんのキャリア開発にMBAが必要か、②特定のプログラムへの志望動機、③MBA卒業後のキャリアゴールを問う課題になります。この課題に正しくアプローチするためには、①②③に対しての整理ができていることが必要です。エッセイの中で頻出の課題になります。

課題代表例：Wharton
How do you plan to use the Wharton MBA program to help you achieve your future professional goals? You might consider your past experience, short and long-term goals, and resources available at Wharton. (500 words)

Strengths essay
Leadership/Teamwork/Problem-solving/Creativity など実に幅広い領域で出願者の強みを問う課題になります。

課題代表例：Kellogg
Kellogg’s purpose is to educate, equip and inspire brave leaders who create lasting value. Provide a recent example where you have demonstrated leadership and created value. What challenges did you face and what did you learn? (450 words)

Personality essay
MBA留学を有意義にするためには。クラスで知識を向上させるだけではなく、積極的にMBAコミュニティ活動に所属し、クラスメートとの交流を図り、自己成長（personal growth）やネットワーキングの機会を得ることも重要です。このMBAコミュニティの意義を理解しているか、そのコミュニティにあなたがふさわしいか、適正があるかを問う課題になります。

課題代表例：Chicago
An MBA is as much about personal growth as it is about professional development. In addition to sharing your experience and goals in terms of career, we’d like to learn more about you outside of the office. Use this opportunity to tell us something about who you are… (Minimum 250 words, no maximum.)

エッセイ作成準備前のチェックリスト

• Post MBA Career goalsはクリア？short term and long term に分けて説明できる？
• MBAで得たいものを具体的に知識/スキル/経験の観点から整理ができている？
• MBAで得たいものを　志望校MBAプログラムで提供されるコースワーク、体験学習（Experiential learning opportunities）、クラブ活動やインターンシップなどの具体的な材料を使って説明ができる？
• 自身の強み/弱み（改善ポイント）/自分の特徴について整理ができている？
• 自身の強み：MBAコミュニティに貢献できる強みが整理できている？
• 自身の弱み：MBA学習の経験を通じて改善するための努力をしている？
• 自分の特徴：MBAコミュニティを理解し、自身の特徴を活かした貢献をイメージできている？

出願校のエッセイ課題の理解を深める

上記の基本整理を行った上で、志望校のエッセイ課題に正しくアプローチするために必要なステップを記します。

Mission Statement/Admission Criteriaの理解

各学校は出願者に求めている人材像を上記に具体的に記しています。そして、出願者にその資質を持ち合わせているかを出願書類を通じて理解することを想定しています。さらに、このプロセスを行うことは、皆さん自身も自分に合った学校に進学することを確認する上でも重要なプロセスです。

エッセイ課題全体の理解と各エッセイの活用方法の戦略ねり

各学校は求めている人物像を確認するツールとして、エッセイ課題を活用します。さらに、エッセイは１題だけではなく複数設定されていることも多いので、やみくもに各課題に回答するのではなく、エッセイ課題やその他オンラインアプリケーション内の質問も含めて、課題全体で自分の強みをアピールすることを考えることが重要です。まず、全体像を決め、その上で、１つ１つの問いに回答することが効果的なアプローチとなります。
