文书要求

In 500-1000 words please describe your reasons for pursuing the Master of Science in Marketing degree and your short-term and/or long-term career goals. In particular, discuss how you envision the degree will help you attain these goals. Please indicate which elective courses you plan to take during your course of study. As the MS program aims at building analytical skills for solving marketing problems, many MS students take electives primarily at the Business School. At times we encourage students to consider courses covering Economics, Engineering, Journalism, Psychology, Sociology, Statistics, etc. from outside schools as well. The academics page of our site outlines some relevant courses within the School and the University classes are listed here. Please consider the whole breadth of options that you will have at Columbia Business School and at the University as a whole as you write your essay.
文书思路建议
录取率只有5%项目,传说最难的哥大marketing
强调Quant能力:区别于普通的marketing专业,这个项目非常注重quant skills,官网写的是希望培养“Analytical Marketer”,所以在文书里就可以着重强调自己marketing经历里所展现出的数据分析等能力,或者是如何通过quant skills而进行了data-driven的market analysis,达到了怎样的效果
课程:Mkt Sci项目的多数课都是PhD或者MBA课程,而且选课非常灵活,文书prompt还专门问了 “Please indicate which elective courses you plan to take”。这里就需要多花些时间在官网,点开不同的课程介绍和syllabus看,也可以看看学生blog里写的课程相关的就读体验,找到自己真正感兴趣想上的课写在文书里
职业规划:官网2022 employment report里写的毕业生就业方向以tech, 快消奢侈品,金融,咨询,media等为主。和大多marketing专业不同的是,除了做市场营销,job position包括很多更与“analytics”相关的product manager/analyst, digital marketing analyst等。所以文书在写career goal的时候在本身自己的情况上稍微tailor,也就是讨好一下,给招生官展现出我真的非常需要通过你的项目的学习而实现自己的职业规划
面试
除了基本的behavioral question的准备之外,最重要的一点是要有很完善的想要进入这个项目的motivation和storyline
要准备可能会具体问到本科期间上过什么quant的课程

probability and/or statistics
linear algebra
Programming language, preferably Python or R.
