Quite insightful!

Hello Menlo, I wanted to ask, does having a relative (my grandfather) who graduated from HBS MBA counts as an X factor? Thanks

Am interested how do I go about it

Very wise tip.

3:06 I haven't done my Undergrad at a Top 5 level school but after my undergrad I am planning on doing a master's level course from a top 5 school in my nation (I am not from the States but from India 😊 ) Is this considered as good as doing your undergrad level studies from a top tier college?

Here is the problem… HBS and other IVY leagues think that ONLY their MBA is worth it and they ingrain this to their students, who then enforce that in the workforce.

This is so practical. Thank you.

wtf is this video so boring

I think school

The real value of a top MBA program which is mentioned slightly here is that it’s a massive networking opportunities: not just in your professional life but also in your personal life. It’s not just “career motivated” people who go to business school. At HBS I knew a group of friends in the real estate section where one guy’s family ran the largest CRE company in the US; his girlfriend’s family meanwhile ran the largest residential real estate company in the country. Another friend’s dad owned a huge hotel chain in India. Another friend’s family is one of the largest real estate developers in Mexico. Even a Bonaparte descendent went to HBS. For the personal and professional network you can develop, I would say the $250k is worth it, especially since most people go in their late 20s, early 30s. If you’re not going to a top MBA program, it’s correct to say the financial variables are most important to consider. I can’t say the education at any MBA is anything stellar or intellectually stimulating but I think the exposure therapy of being in these spaces, having these conversations, talking freely to both peers and superiors is healthy.

What are some top 10 EMBA Courses related to the Tech Industry such as IT/Digital Industry?

Thank you. I like this a lot.

My postives are the following: 1. GRE Score is solid. 2. GPA is a 3.5 3. I have tons of community involvement. 4. I have 8 years of professional experience. Cons: 1. I did not go to an Ivy league school or a top 50 school for undergraduate. 2. I do not work for a feeder employer to the top schools. 3. I am not famous or military in any way. Im curious to know if Business Schools are looking at minority status as a factor since the Supreme Court has ruled that to be unconstitutional. This would have been a pro for me because I am a minority. Are business schools looking at something else to increase diversity? As always. Great content.

Always great content. Is it bad for an MBA candidate to have 5 companies they worked for on a resume in an 8 year period?

Is it possible for a Corporate Paralegal to get into a top MBA program?

Insightful, thanks.

Good tip! Thanks!

Massive assumption that you will climb through the ranks of an investment bank because you have an MBA.

I am 40 plus a banker with 17 years experience.What are my chances of getting an admit if I get a good enough score IN GMAT

HBS knowledge that you can touch .

I am doing CA(Chartered Accountancy) in Pakistan. There is a required article of 3.5 years along with 8 papers to get my CA qualification. Will these 3.5 years be considered as experience while applying to LBS or any top-notch Business School? Waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance.

How do schools factor in grad school GPA? I had a 3.1 undergrad GPA from a respectable but not amazing public school. I am now currently finishing up a master of science in engineering from a highly respected engineering school and am on track to graduate with a 3.9. Will schools probably just average the two GPAs or will one or the other take precedence? Feedback I have gotten from peers is that schools are moving away from undergrad GPA as a primary factor and will likely care much more about my grad school GPA. Thoughts?

damn really doing Steve dirty like that 😂

Londres fucking bs

knocking my 15k mba out right now 😊

Thanks Menlo Coaching for creating this video. I am wondering If I can get your thoughts on this: - I have been working for over 10 years and have been feeling stuck in my career. - During coffee chats, I was suggested to consider MBA or MS Computer Science (I don't have an undergrad in CS but saw there are some bridging programs out there for those who don't). Wondering what do you think about MBA vs MS Computer Science? - I think MS if usually for those who usually have around 2 years of work experience but may not be appropriate for those with more work experience. - I think with MS CS one tends to become a software developer writing code. Pays well but just writing code. - With MBA people usually tend to go into 3 buckets (consulting, IB/financial services & tech). My perception is that the work life balance of consulting/financial services isn't great and also getting there in mid 30s is tough but tech (product management seems to be the most popular role in tech post MBA, though the current tech economy isn't great with layoffs) seems more open with better work life balance. Also, regarding MBA I hear a lot of buzz that some say it's worth it and some say it's not. There's this site/book the personal MBA that refutes that value of MBA: personalmba.com/. So don't what what to believe. Some quote this quote from the movie Goodwill hunting regarding MBA: "You wasted $150,000 on an education (MBA) you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.” Would love to hear your thoughts.

if you only got "Confidence" because of a piece of paper that you paid 200K for, you're a complete CLOWN 😂 You're just a robot that is mindlessly doing what is told, you're never gonna shift culture and society with that type of attitude

I'm 40 years of age with 9 years work experience in a public sector. I want to switch career - from a personnel manager in a public sector to a training entrepreneur. I want to go for a full time MBA in the US because I want return to my country to male a difference in the training industry. Please, what's your advice for me?

This was practical and informative. Thank You!

Thank you for this good work Should i also have a good score in ILETS to be accpted in a master degree program as unnative English speaker?

Lol i think MBAs are cool but the cost isn't.

Hii sir, I'm a student currently pursuing my second bachelors in a humanities. I'm also planning to do an MBA from top 10 US b.schools. But I wonder my low GPA in 1st undergrad might hurt my chances. So can I just hide my 1st degree and only mention 2nd undergrad in my mba application. Is it safe to hide certain educational information from the admission committee & what can happen if committee find it after I get an admitted. I know it's bit amature but still shouldn't it be on me to put my best on the table

what is the typical time frame for this whole process?

Hello sir what is the procedure for taking your service ???

Informative ❤

I was thinking the same 7:02

very nice tips...thanks

What if you have never had an interaction with students and alumni from LBS? What should you answer on the 4th topic? Anybody know an online way for a foreigner to have that kind of interaction?

Thank you for being upfront and honest. I know my case isn't special. I can work to improve my test score. On the whole, I'm just an average someone who has a big enough ego to think I should go to either of those two schools but I'm not skilled, qualified or special enough to belong at either.

Companies love you to have an MBA because having a highly educated management team makes the company look far better to potential investors. I had maxed out my potential in sales so I came to get my MBA so I can take on a leadership role with confidence. It will feel funny though the first time I am interviewed by someone I am clearly more qualified then.

I am over half way through and have only done 1 group project. However I have made countless Excel sheets so far. If you are not great on Excel don't even bother.

Good examples and very well explained. 👍

I got into Uc Irvine mba program which is ranked 44th. Is this still good enough to get a 100k job?

What does MBA mean? Is it masters in business administration or am I confused…

This video really helped me a lot. Can't remember how many times I replayed this over and over especially closer to the interviews. 😅Just received an admit to LBS! Thanks Menlo/David!

Well explained 👍🏻

This was very helpful!

Thanks
