Columbia’s MBA deadlines for the 2022-2023 admissions cycle have just been released. It’s important to note that CBS utilizes a rolling admissions process, meaning, once applications are open, the admissions committee is continuously evaluating, interviewing and accepting candidates. So, do try to avoid submitting your app on or near the final deadline, as open spaces may be incredibly limited.
