Maybe you are a weak wokie if you’re rejecting strong applicants. What’s wrong with you? You might as well put out a job advert saying apply only sub standard people should apply.
Absolutely agree! I’ve seen how clearly defining post-MBA goals can significantly enhance your application. Research shows that candidates with well-articulated post-MBA plans are 40% more likely to be admitted to top programs. The challenge often lies in aligning these goals with the program’s strengths and showcasing how they fit into your broader career trajectory. I faced this issue too, and after trying various strategies, a friend recommended Habit10x. Their program helped me clarify and present my post-MBA goals effectively. Found them through Google.
Aspiring for the C-suite and bringing about change are two different kinds of ambition. One is driven by an outsized sense of self (ego) and the other is driven by a strong sense of general good (selflessness.) If you aspire for the C-suite for its own sake (i.e. prioritize the self,) nothing good can come out of that.
I totally agree. As human beings we can't remove the ego, so a healthy balance of the two makes for a great leader. We discuss more on this in the full episode here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u_7venpMXAw.html
Are applications up at some schools? I heard that some schools, especially some of the top schools, have seen a decline in applications (primarily from the U.S. Applicants). However, apps from international students have increased. Is this accurate? I heard this from several consultants.
While we do not have official numbers yet, M7s and top-ranked business schools have unofficially shared an increase in applicants. We've had a relatively equal distribution of international and domestic applicants we've worked with, acknowledging of course the fact that we work with a small number of applicants each cycle. That said, based on the conversations we've had, in terms of prospective applicants, we have seen more international applicants considering/applying to b-schools. We cannot speak to success stories on those, however.
Applicants, typically, do not hire a coach to polish grammar (although that is a byproduct of working with a coach). If all you need is grammar correction, then hire an editor or use AI/Grammarly. AI will help you present what you advise the tool to structure/present, and it typically yields a high-level presentation of anything you prompt it to produce. A coach will integrate years of their direct experiences in admission to help you weave your greatest strengths with what the B-schools are expecting of successful candidates. A good coach is also going to help you see your experiences from a different perspective/lens, coach you on things you should/should not be doing, and help you dive deeper into your own experiences so you can present an authentic application (a good coach will do more than this, but these are some elements to consider).
@@siaadmissions exactly this is what I understand of the benefits one gets by hiring a coach. So, why is advent of AI suddenly a challenge for the B schools? People from ages have been seeking professional help from coaches to improvise essays and story telling, and AI, in a way, can be assumed as a remote version of a coach, although not very effective one. So why were B schools not concerned with coaches and are concerned with AI? The reason I ask this question is because you mentioned that video essays will be part of the application for more and more B schools this application cycle and the reason for doing so is because more and more applicants are using AI. I don’t understand this part
@flawlesly8502, yes, we do offer consultations to evaluate profiles and determine if we are a good fit to work together. If that is something that interests you, please book a call via this link: www.siaadmissions.com/complimentary-consultation
I hope this message finds you well. I came across your Channel while exploring professionals in the admissions space, and I was particularly impressed by your contributions at Sia Admissions.
Loved the video Susan. Consulting seems to offer an army knife of skills that can be taken to other industries too. Would love to share a few future video ideas: - Post MBA careers with good work life balance, especially for folks in their 30s. - Post-MBA Careers: Tech - MBA vs Executive MBA vs Part Time MBA vs Online MBA: for folks in their 30s who want to pivot careers
Hi Susan, I think the Feb 9th Live titled "Top 3 Post-MBA Careers: Schools to Target" doesn't seem to be showing up on the RU-vid channel for viewers to watch the replay. I would personally love to check it out as I couldn't attend the live due to a meeting conflict.
Hi Susan, I am considering an MBA but see people dissing on MBAs like this RU-vidr: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ZUpHPkj9bg.html What do you think?
Thanks for producing this video. These schools are great but they have different rankings. Susan, could you elaborate on how we applicants should incorporate rankings into our consideration when selecting schools? Thank you so much!
