At A Glance

Welcome to Wall Street. Columbia and Wall Street go hand-in-hand. CBS has (literally) revolving doors connecting professors, students, and alumni of CBS with the biggest-name New York firms. Between these connections and the Master Class program, CBS trains and connects its MBAs with “the real world” unlike any other program can. Alexander Haig, U.S. Secretary of State; Vikram Pandit, CEO of Citigroup; James P. Gorman, Chairman and CEO of Morgan Stanley; and Yuzaburo Mogi, Chairman and CEO of Kikkoman are all notable alumni.

Admissionado Ranking

Best of the Best (1st Tier)

Sure, it may be true (as far as ranking goes) that mathematically the number "1" is higher than the number "2." But it's a shlocky way of thinking about which schools are 'better' than others. For us, a grade of "Best of the Best (1st Tier)" is a signal that in terms of a school's ability to have positive impact on your development and career in name and experience, it doesn't get better than this for ANY school in this class.

Admissionado Grade

A

Maybe a school with an "A" gets edged out by the chosen .001%ers at the A+ tier, but not by much, and not by many. In other words, an "A" grade may as well be as good as it gets, even if there exists a school or two that is technically a micro notch mightier. "A" means, you are forever marked by as much greatness in terms of street cred as you'll ever need.
