Columbia MSRED Application

Hi everyone, I am looking into applying for Columbia MSRED this fall. I tried calling but they don't give out much info about admissions. If you have been through this program or have any knowledge of it could you provide any info? Any estimates on the typical GPA, GMAT, and experience would be great! And which parts of the application are weighted heaviest? Thanks!

The others in this thread are spot on, work experience is key. My background was construction and i had a finance degree from undergrad. GMAT is secondary. I barely studied for the GMAT.. got a 620 which is meh. Went to the program...it was great. Amazing year. Great people. Great access.

Find your angle...and write a great essay. It matters for the process. GL

 

I wouldn't worry about UG gpa. The more you can show them good, relevant work experience and a commitment to the program the better shot you'll have. They want people who are really into this stuff, its what makes the program great. They also dont want to admit people who might or might not go so if you can commit with a letter saying if admitted you'll attend you'll raise your chances significantly imo.
