E16 - Columbia MBA (CBS) with Mahima | Top US MBA | MBA in US | Masters with Harshith

Welcome to the second episode in the Masters with Harshith Podcast's Top US MBA series. In this episode, we talk with Mahima who worked as a software engineer before starting her MBA program at Columbia Business School, and what motivated her to pursue an MBA.
Mahima's Pro Tip - If you're in New York City, do attend mixers on campus, that's how the admission committee knows that you're really interested. If you're not in the city, attend the virtual events hosted so that they know who you are before you even apply
