Thanks!!

This seems like a good opportunity, so it is certainly worth considering. However, keep in mind that many employers who hire MBAs are also interested in their transferable skills from their work experience prior to their MBA. Employers may also prefer applicants from top MBA programs, so if this program happens to be less prestigious, it may be worth working for a few years and then applying to an MBA program that is a better fit for you, in terms of helping you achieve your career goals. Additionally, keep in mind that it is very difficult to be admitted into an MBA program down the road, if you already have completed a prior MBA.

You are very welcome! So glad you found it to be helpful!

All three campuses within the INSEAD Global EMBA will add great value to your career and provide you with a lifelong network. Keep in mind the slight logistical differences across these three, such as start date and length of program. However, all things equal, if your goal is to focus on the pharma Asian market, then we suggest the Singapore campus because of its greater ties within Asia with regard to recruiting opportunities and network.

Thanks for subscribing!

We're so glad you found it to be helpful! Wishing lots of luck to your son!

Absolutely! Business schools want a class filled with people of all different backgrounds!

For deferred MBA programs, you typically apply WHILE you are in your final year of undergraduate studies.

@@mbaMission I already have graduated a year ago. I regret that! 😐😥

Whoops! Thanks for bringing that to our attention!

Business school is a long way off, but it is impressive that you are already thinking about ways to boost your profile when it is time to apply. Your grades in university are very important to MBA admissions committees, so during your upcoming time in college, focus on earning high grades from the very beginning. MBA programs also want to see applicants who have engaged in extracurriculars during college. I suggest joining clubs and becoming a leader in a few of them, in order to show that you have made an impact. And after college, continue to participate in extracurricular activities, perhaps ones related to what you did during college. Upon college graduation, MBA programs like to see 4-5 years of full-time work experience before an applicant applies. Therefore, while you will not be applying to business school for a while, performing well in and outside the classroom during university will go a long way in boosting your chances of MBA admission.

We have been told by admissions officers that a 155 or higher on the EA indicates that an applicant can manage MBA studies.

The MBA application is truly holistic, and these programs want to make sure students have the academic ability to succeed in a rigorous classroom setting. A 4.0 GPA in a quantitative field is impressive and will help your application; it will also help to compensate for a lower than average GMAT score of 670. However, to compete against applicants of top schools, I suggest retaking the GMAT to try to improve your score; you have nothing to lose. You could also consider switching to another exam, such as the GRE. If not, you can still showcase your quantitative abilities in other ways, such as demonstrating them through your professional roles, or even taking a supplemental course in a quantitative field. Keep in mind that demonstrating your quant ability is still only one component of your application. Especially if you have a below average GMAT score, you must show excellence in other aspects of your application, including your essays, resume, and recommendation letters.

We agree!

You are very welcome!

We're so glad you thought so!

A CPA is a position, which is basically a specific type of accountant who has taken the CPA exam and has met other requirements. If your goal is to solely focus on an accounting career then a CPA designation is sufficient, and an MBA is not necessary. However, if your goals differ than pure accounting, then an MBA will open up many more types of opportunities and will provide you with a more general management background that will enable you to target other careers. The MBA will also give you the leadership capabilities to manage and lead others, regardless of your industry.

Congratulations on your admission to two top programs in Ross and Tuck! You were automatically considered for scholarship opportunities when you applied. However, there are still scholarships to which you can apply now that you are admitted, which you can find through their financial aid links or by simply asking members of the admissions committees.

Hi am very glad to come across this channel and thanks for sharing MBA is my dream but I would like to ask if you there are some best business institutions you can tell me in italy as an international student? And scholarships with no age limit.

Another incredible top MBA program! We compare Booth and Wharton here: czcams.com/video/QvFr-fLkRGo/video.htmlsi=XTlGtZdN8cSGUa_Q

Absolutely!!

Glad it was helpful!

So glad you are enjoying our videos! Our expertise is in MBA admissions, though a lot of our general application advice is applicable for any post-graduate programs!

An MBA and a technical Master's degree can both help you advance your career. Based on our experience in working with engineers, many use the MBA in order to grow into more of a leadership position, where they are managing other engineers and working in a more strategic and big-picture role. I would say that you will learn more technical engineering-related skills in the Master's degree, and you will learn more leadership and strategic-thinking skills in an MBA, as well as transferable skills necessary to transition into a different type of role, or even different type of field. Therefore, it depends on what you are seeking in your future career.

Tuckies tend to be focused on finance and consulting, but the school's general management programs prepares students for all industries.

@@AndresTegnelli many thanks!

Thanks for watching!

We agree! Kellogg has a top-notch marketing program!

MIT Sloan's full-time program does require applicants to submit a GMAT or GRE score. However, you can request a test waiver.

If your visa is not approved, perhaps because of an ability to show sufficient funds to pay for your study and living expenses, or because of missing or incorrect documents, you can still reapply for a visa. This is one reason to apply to MBA programs as soon as you are ready.

Business schools, including top programs such as the GSB, are looking for impressive candidates with different experiences and backgrounds. There is not a job that would turn off an admissions committee simply because of the title of the position. As with any job, you will need to show that you are a true standout among other people at your level, and you must also demonstrate the attributes that schools are seeking, such as leadership potential and quantitative ability. Additionally, keep in mind that the application process is holistic, and work experience is just one component of a school's evaluation.

@mbaMission Thanks. Would a 163 Quant GRE score show Quant ability? I read somewhere that it's in range for programs like Wharton, Stern, and MIT.

The mark of quantitative competence on the GRE is a 162 Quant score. That will reassure most adcoms that you can manage their analytical MBA program.

Even though working for 5 companies in 8 years is not ideal for top schools to see, it is also not necessarily a dealbreaker for them. This is especially true if, as you mentioned, your moves have pushed you closer to achieving your career goals. You will want to incorporate the motivations of your professional journey into your story. It is also important to demonstrate the impact you have made in each role, the leadership skills you have shown, and the transferable experiences you now have that make your post-MBA goals realistic.

Historically, the MBA and MMS applications are slightly different. But, as far as what the admissions committees are looking for - that "team Fuqua" spirit, that you've done your homework and can explain why the program is right for you, and that you'll make an impact inside and outside the classroom - is the same. But be sure to check the essays for your specific program, as they are likely a bit different.
