I've been searching to get entry into top universities across any of these ivy league or any other elite bschools
      But as per my research it seems to be impossible for me to get in any of the elite bschools as u see my undergrad score lags n I have not work experience

      It appears like you've posted this multiple times on several videos. Not a good idea to do that since it confuses us and also other viewers who're looking for a response to the same question. Btw, we've responded to your query on the first video where you posted this.
      Edit: For the benefit of others who're looking for an answer to this, we're re-pasting our response.
      When it comes to eligibility, each bschool may have their own specific policies to handle exception cases such as this.
      In several cases, we've seen bschools being flexible with their policies depending on how they perceive the candidate's profile.
      So rather than depending on third parties for a black-and-white answer, reach out to your target programs and ask them directly.
      Send an email to their admissions office. Share a short and crisp profile description (highlighting your uniqueness) and ask them if you'd be eligible to apply. Once they say yes, make sure you do a phenomenal job with your application.
      Reach out to our consulting team if you need professional help. Good luck!

    Please answer these questions!

      5 years is the average in the class. Which means there are students with more and also less experience. There is no minimum, but your odds of getting in drop if you are too far away from the class average when it comes to experience. You can work in the field in which you've done your graduation.

      Your observation is right. An MBA from abroad can increase the income potential. But that's only one dimension of a complex story. There are several risks associated with it too, that you should become familiar with. And have a backup plan in case things don't work out.

    Tengo 15 años recién cumplidos y llevo un año trabajando para conseguir esta meta de algún día estudiar en "harvard business school". Hasta el momento me he enfocado en mis actividades extracurriculares y en mantener un buen promedio. Practico voleibol. Hace 7 meses fundé un grupo de ayuda comunitaria con jóvenes de mi edad para mejorar el ambiente en el que nos desenvolvemos, ya que podría decirse que vivo en una comunidad rural a la cual le hace falta muchas cosas. También estoy estudiando una especialidad en turismo sustentable en una universidad cercana a mi comunidad, ya que como lo dije, vivo en una comunidad rural y una de sus mayores fuentes de ingreso proviene del ecoturismo y la razón por la cual me interesó este tema es porque hace tiempo se me vino a la mente una pregunta ¿que pasaría si... pudiese conocer los intereses de los consumidores del sector turístico y tomando en cuenta estos satisfacerlos en base a los principios del turismo sustentable?, sé que estoy hablando mucho de turismo y algunos pueden preguntarse "¿y eso que tiene que ver con harvard business school?", lo que sucede es que no es la unica pregunta que se me vino a la mente, ¿qué pasaría si aunado a eso le sumamos una buena mercadotecnia y si se estructura un buen plan de negocios?, ¿sería rentable? ¿podría representar un cambio en la manera que vemos el mercado turístico y a la vez favorecer al medio ambiente? (Estoy segura de que mi lenguaje quizás no es el más apropiado y quiero disculparme si no sé utilizar algunos términos correctamente, prometo que mejoraré).
    Sin embargo a pesar de que esto pueda sonar maravilloso o una completa locura estoy segura de que no estoy ni cerca de cubrir con todos los requisitos para ser aceptada.
    Como ya lo habrán notado soy una estudiante internacional, para ser exacta mexicana. Aún no tengo un completo dominio del idioma inglés y para ser sincera apenas pude entender la mitad del video JAJAJA.
    Tal vez podría ponerme a escribir todas las dificultades que tengo, pero estoy segura que todos tenemos dificultades, así que no lo haré.
    Solo espero ansiosamente algun día concluir esta meta, me esforzaré durante los próximos 3 años y que suceda lo mejor 🤞✨.

    As per my perception after completing MBA I will get to know lot about industries how they work that will help me to understand how to increase the business by taking some company driven decisions and able to understand the true value of it.
    Though I know I can able to achieve those skills by taking some online courses and reading books but whenever I am going to apply for managerial posts it always ask for professional degree or vast experience on that field that I don't have.
    One with MBA degree can achieve that role easily like after graduating from B- school and for us it will take near about 8-10 years to reach in that position.
    Can you please tell me is perception correct and do I need to go for MBA or there is other options that will help me instead of doing MBA.

    • @MBACrystalBall
      @MBACrystalBall  5 лет назад

      Hi Sourav, the perception is partly correct. You're right about the part that a good MBA degree can open up managerial positions. However, the 'achieve the role easily' part is incorrect. A lot of MBA grads struggle to get into the most competitive roles. Given the competition, it's not going to be easy. How many years of experience do you have, and in which industry?

    • @MBACrystalBall
      @MBACrystalBall  3 года назад +1

      Harvard doesn't have any specific preference for engineers. In fact, they'd like more diversity in the class. So if anyone with a unique, under-represented background applies they'd be more than happy to evaluate their application. Just make sure you have much more to offer on the professional side as well.

      Yes, all good colleges look at undergrad colleges (and not just the undergrad GPA). A decent GPA from a top tier college carries more weight than a perfect GPA from an unknown college. Having said that, this isn't a make or break criterion. They'll also look at the other application components before taking a decision.

      You'll also need a graduation (bachelors) degree and several years of work experience.

    How good are my chances if I do an BBA degree.

      The degree alone won't decide the odds of success. As the video suggests, there's much to top MBA applications. Take it one step at a time.

      Hi Sheelu, good to hear that you've manage to get a job after such a long break. The best option would be to work for a few years and build some good skills and accomplishments to strengthen the CV. Then think about an MBA or any other degree. For now don't even think about this or any other distractions.

      You can check their website to get an idea of what they look for. LinkedIn has plenty of HBS grads that you can get in touch with for further inputs.
