Did you have to go in for an in person interview? If Yes can you please go through that process. Also how do u research universities and see if they are a fit for you?
Most schools give you a few options: 1. In person on campus, 2. In person with a former local alumni in your area (and you choose a mutual place to meet), or 3. via Zoom. I personally did my interviews either via Zoom or with a local alumni. Honestly it's a little hard to know if it is the PEFECT fit, but the best way to find out is attend admit weekend once you are admitted to an MBA program (some programs will pay for your expenses to attend admit weekend, while others will not). In terms of looking at the fit prior to applying, basically see if they have programs/classes that would interest you and class culture. Many schools highlight class electives as well as extra-curriculars to persuade students to attend their program. 1. Do a basic search using Poets&Quants and Google to find which MBA programs offer the concentrations you are most interest in (ex. for me it was Healthcare and Entrepreneurship) and also be sure the school is in a location you wouldn't mind living in ex. city life, college town vibes, etc. as well as possibly work post graduation. Although the latter isn't a requirement but for your summer internship, are you okay with moving for 3 months or do you want to do an internship locally where you are doing your MBA? Many jobs offered by a school may be from local companies. Also some MBA programs are STEM while others are not, just consider if this would matter to you. 2. Look on reddit and other forums to see what student's overall thoughts were on the university to get a feel for the culture, pros/cons, professors, grading, are student's collaboration or more competitive, etc (even an undergraduate's perspective can still give you a glimpse of the grad culture at the school). 3. Based on this research, compile a list of universities you are interesting in attending but be sure to consider how you line up again past admitted students, the school's ranking, and acceptance rate. I personally applied to 3 reach schools and 3 safety schools. Hope this helps, if not feel free to just let me know and I can try to answer it a different way.
@@jessicakent308 Thank you for your time to helping a future applicant out! That is super helpful and I like the tips you gave me for researching a college. It definately will be helpful for interviewing and the essays. Wow Rice is lucky to have someone like you and they should send you a check cause your persuading me to attend there if everyone is like you.😂
@@koreannomad9131 Haha of course, I'm happy to help and I'm glad you find it helpful. TBH, most students in my cohort are super nice and collaborative. If you went there I'm sure you'd love the student culture, although my option is biased. :)
Yes! @r.u.nacl? GPA: 3.80 Work Experience: 1 year at the time I applied GRE: 158 quant, 155 verbal, 5.5 writing Lmk if there is anything else you'd like to know :)
