EMBA Financial Sponsorship

[sedward]

I have full financial and time sponsorship from my company (a top 3 investment bank). Given the rising cost of EMBA programs and declining financial sponsorship from companies, how heavily does this weigh in terms of acceptance into a top program (targeting Columbia)? My undergrad gpa and gmat are weak but my professional track record is clearly very strong. Thanks in advance.

Hi! Financial sponsorship alone does not get applicants into EMBA programs. These are still extremely competitive to get into, and schools look at candidates holistically - their GMAT scores, work experience and outside activities.

Best of luck,
