    Great video. Thanks for sharing. The 36 page brainstorm doc was a great mental model. I am just curious. How often do you update that? I know it’s a very personal question so fine if you don’t want to answer. My use case to watch this video was I was preparing to write an essay for the Stanford LEAD business program and I was wondering if my old grad school essay is something I can still leverage. It was not a 36 page doc for me but still the essay was a good summary of me as a person.

    Actually good information which is needed to everyone need to start before start writing art of your personal story

    Hi Pooja, Thanks for sharing such an insightful video! I'm a recent BTech graduate with a strong interest in product management. After graduation, I took some time for self-reflection and discovered a passion for building user-centric products that drive user satisfaction. I'm also hoping to pursue an MBA at Stanford GSB in the future to further develop my skills. I'd love to connect with you to learn more about potential internship opportunities at your company.

    Definitely one of the most valuable (if not the most) videos to go through the process. Thanks a lot for sharing this, Pooja! The process seems a little less daunting now haha

    Hi Pooja! This was great. I was quite intrigued how well you interlinked your personal and professional life in your essays. Question for you- Do you feel the Lauder Dual Degree Progam with a focus on South Asia will be helpful for a student from India? As I am largely aware about most of the nuances this region brings to the table.

    Great essays are also stories. Captivating! Awesome video, quite insightful as well as entertaining. I'm applying for another program of theirs, an executive training program, but need to have a few essays as well. This helps a lot, thanks!

    great essay. well done in dealing with what would have been a weakness in the portfolio (technical side of AI),. it is a little like Sony's market strategy.

    How did you afford to pay for the tuition? The student loan only provides $20,500 every two semesters which is ~30k per year.

    • @poojabhardwaj1
      @poojabhardwaj1 Před měsícem

      A longer video but students get scholarships from school, finance it with loans and have savings. You can also work while in the program but you are expected to be a full-time student.

    Is that very compulsory to have one year or more years of experience to get into mba program in ivy colleges or can get in by internship experience of months

    • @poojabhardwaj1
      @poojabhardwaj1 Před měsícem

      I think this depends on the country. In the US, MBAs typically have at least two years of work experience, likely more. You can get into 2+2 MBA programs where you get a future spot in a MBA program right out of college, with no full-time work experience at the time you apply.

      Yes

    • @poojabhardwaj1
      @poojabhardwaj1 Před měsícem

      Anything is possible and it all depends! I was told applications are evaluated holistically when I applied. So anything is possible it just depends on your individual story.

    Hi Pooja, just during the 13 minutes watching your video, I strongly believe you are not only a smart and curious leaner, but also a convincing and inspiring communicator by nature. Also I resonated so much with you as a business student, former consultant and female. Excited to see your again in your next video!

    Wow I loved this essay, I am inspired. The essay was so interesting that you were literally able to recite it in a video and it felt like a conversation and not a paper. I am going to write something this lively. Cant express how inspirational this was.

    Hii mam, 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

  • @vidvathamar4181
    @vidvathamar4181 Před rokem

    Honestly this is one of the most perfect and smoothly connected set of essays I have ever had the pleasure of listening to and understanding. Everything was so smooth and interconnected that it felt like a clear stream of fresh water flowing down a river, truly a piece of art. Excellent job at writing these essays Pooja! Hope to see you achieve everything you have mentioned in your 3rd essay and wishing you a successful life ahead!
