CBS J-Term vs UCLA vs Michigan
Curious people's thoughts on attending CBS J-term vs UCLA vs Michigan.
My background is in MM IB and I have entrepreneurial and/or PE/IM aspirations post-mba. I'd be happy living in either NY or LA post-MBA. I truthfully have no preference between the two as far as locations are concerned. I'd rather attend CBS over UCLA/Mich, but have concerns that a lack of a formal summer internship may hurt my chances if I go the PE/IM route (btw I'm well aware of the challenges of getting this job in the first place). I do think CBS has a stronger network than UCLA/Ross and better investing program - so both factor into my interset in CBS. Also in my opinion CBS has a better brand than both, but is this still the case? Any first hand experiences on any of the above would be helpful.
Did you get into any of these schools?
J-Term is not ideal for industry switchers. Why not columbia full-time and apply ED?
Great thanks - got into CBS j-term, pretty positive on UCLA/Mich. Didn't think I was going to get into full-time but maybe I would have...
Anderson
Why?
ability to intern over the summer, strong LA network given OP isn't set on being in NYC
CBS is a way better brand. I'd take Jterm and being that you'd be in NYC, you can get an internship with an IM/PE shop during the semester to alleviate the lack of a summer internship.
J Termers struggle to find jobs after graduating . Does not apply if you are sponsored or are a rich international. Do you research before doing CBS J Term. Talk to a few grads. I am sitting next to one, and this person did not get what they wanted out of their experience.
Personally, I'd take one of the regular term options if I were trying to break into a challenging career, also therefore allowing myself the possibility to "fail" but still land at a good full-time gig. I think if you want to live in LA, than Anderson the move. I worked in IB in LA and Anderson was really dominant. I also think this program will serve you better for entrepreneurship.
If it were a non-J-Term Columbia acceptance, my opinion might be swayed, but honestly they're all SUPER different schools so you should also let "fit" be your guide.
