I'm interested in applying to the Executive Technology Management Masters program at Columbia University, but afraid I don't have the credentials to gain acceptance. My gpa is 3.2 mainly because I had to work 2+ jobs while in college. I have strong professional experience and believe I can do well on the personal statement.

I'm also nervous to ask my supervisor for a recommendation in order to apply, as I don't want to feel embarrassed if I don't get in. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

Reach out to any of your old manager or even your peers… you just need a person who can support that you will follow through on the program who has access to letterhead

Go for it. All you can do is try. If you don’t try; you’ll never know.

Hi there, I had a question about 401k or Roth IRA. Should I put money into anyone of the two as an international student? I don’t see the point because I want to invest my money instead of saving it. Plus I don’t even have a permanent resident status so I don’t know if it makes sense saving it for retirement. On the other hand, the employer match and so on sounds good. So should I save it and take it out later or just invest it?
