Hi, I have problem selecting the field of my work after graduating from MBA. I want to work in a investment management firm (as fund manager). Columbia provides me this list of financial related jobs. Can anyone please tell me which one I should choose, or just choose "other/not listed"? Which one is most closest to my intended field:- commercial banking Diversified Financial Services Insurance Investment Banking / Brokerage Investment Banking Management Venture Capital / Private Equity Corporate Finance Mergers and Acquisitions Public Finance Lending / Relationship Management Sales and Trading Private Client Services Research (Buy Side) Research (Sell Side) Thank you very much

thank you very much Gmatbong :-)

well, I also have problem interpreting Question 2 :( 2. What has been the greatest challenge to your value system that you've faced and how did you handle it? (Recommended 500 word limit) Is it like Wharton's "Describe a situation where your values, ethics, or morals were challenged. How did you handle the situation?" ? because I can understand what Wharton means Thank you :)

Hi, Could anyone please explain what does this essay question actually mean? It would be greatly appreaciate if you can give me some short example. 3. In discussing Columbia Business School, Dean R. Glenn Hubbard remarked, "We have established the mind-set that entrepreneurship is about everything you do." Please discuss a time in your own life when you have identified and captured an opportunity. (Recommended 500 word limit) Thank you very much :)

gmatbong : thanks very much, but this can apply to all schools? (i planned to apply to wharton, mit, harvard, nyu, chicago) mav : he meant that you can submit your self-reported score online (if you apply online)

Hi, I'm curious about ordering Official score report. The score report fee is quite expensive (28$/school). Can I photocopy them the report?. Until I got acceptance, then I order the official report directly from ETS to them? Thanks:)

Hi, First I'm so sorry, I know it's bad to ask anyone here revising my resume sentence for me but I have no where to go and admission consultant service is too expensive for me to afford to editing my resume. 1. Evaluate the unsuccessful sales report andled sales teams to re-persuade customers who, at first, had declined to implement the service, resulting in 50% of pre-declined customers reevaluate our proposal and more than one third decided to adopt the service (I'm trying to say that.. sometimes sales teams unsuccessfully persuade customer to use the service, and I'm the person who evaluate the unsuccessful sales report and identify the possibility to re-persuade customer and if i found that the customer has potential to use our service, then I led the team back to persuade them again, the result is 50% reevaluate the proposal and 1/3 of customers who reevaluate decided to use the service) 2. Identified new business opportunities and potential alliances, which allow firm to save 28% of cost of Artwork production and to extend services such as CRM system, provided by strategic partnership, to customer 3. Acted as liaison between Marketing and IT teams for interoperation and intercommunication and summarized “Technical Possibility Map” to assist marketers to think in the reality boundary ( I try to say that I acted as liaison between Marketing team and IT team, allowing 2 teams cooperate and communicate well with each other , and summarize “Technical Possibility Map” to help marketers think in the real world because sometimes, marketers have unreal imagination which cannot be implement by IT in the real world, so I have to create a map to show them the boundary of thought) Thank you so much for your help :D:D:D:):):)

Thank you very much GMATBong
