Acing the CBS Interview - from an Interviewer & Alumna
About the event
Getting an interview at Columbia Business School is a major step, but the interview is your chance to turn a strong application into a compelling case for admission. Knowing what interviewers are evaluating and how to communicate your goals, experiences, and fit can make all the difference. This session is for MBA applicants preparing for a CBS interview who want to walk in prepared and confident. You’ll learn how to approach common CBS interview questions, tell your story effectively, and avoid the mistakes that can weaken an otherwise strong interview. Join live to hear from a Columbia Business School alumna and current admissions committee member who has interviewed CBS applicants. She’ll share firsthand insights into what interviewers look for, how to prepare your answers, and how to make a strong impression in the interview. Bring your questions and leave with a clearer strategy for acing your CBS interview.
