Columbia Business School’s early decision and regular decision online applications are live, meaning that the Columbia MBA recommendation questions are now available. The CBS adcom requests that recommenders indicate whether they have an MBA, and asks that they address two prompts in the course of a recommendation of no more than 1,000 words.

Do you have an MBA?
