This is too funny and pretty damn sad. Apparently first year wannabe bankers at Columbia need to be told about personal hygiene and how to dress.

That is pretty funny, although I have heard about similar things elsewhere. I have some friends at Harvard Law and they go so far as to stipulate how tall women's heels are allowed to be, in addition to suit color, earrings, watches and other things.
Wait, is that for real?
haha I thought this was hilarious when I read it this morning as well.

Part I applies to every b-school, especially the international students who ask some terrible ass questions in broken engrish.
Part II makes me wonder about the availability of clean water in new york...
I know this article is about the business school, but it also applies to the undergraduate student body. As a recent Columbia alum, I can't tell you how many times I rode in an elevator with a stinky group of students. This especially applies to foreign students. They don't understand that you should take a shower at least once a day!
I think this was sent to PREVENT students from looking stupid, rather than criticize them for dressing inappropriately.
Pretty hilarious though.
While Columbia is a top school, kids are still kids. I think this mainly applies to the fools who think they are GG and foreign kids who might not be accustomed to US social norms.
Aha, interesting email by Columbia IB club There is an interesting response to the email by a quant head hunter. You may not agree with him http://www.quantnet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7735
What is wrong with networking with alumni over coffee?
Weird dude.
