Hi, Columbia is perceived as one of the prime institutes for finance but it does offer other specializations too since it is a General Management program. Most of the students who apply for Columbia stay in and around New York , possess work experience or internship from WallStreet or other nearby places. It just seems to be more aligned towards Finance, but need not be true. Coming to your question about getting into Columbia, it is all about your preparation, GMAT score, essays, letter of recommendation and many other factors. If you have your own business and have a fair idea of finance, an MBA will give you an upper hand in terms of industry knowledge which can be utilized mostly in the second year of your course. But selection into Columbia involves many other factors.
