00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:16.289
good enough how do you know if you have

8
00:00:16.289 --> 00:00:18.840
good chances of getting accepted one key

9
00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:20.670
to it is looking at an average class

10
00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:22.680

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:24.600

interested continue watching this video

14
00:00:42.550 --> 00:00:45.140
but basically what you want to do is go

15
00:00:45.140 --> 00:00:47.300
to your university speech go to the

16
00:00:47.300 --> 00:00:48.800
admissions page and sometimes they would

17
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:50.540
even publish the class profile out of

18
00:00:50.540 --> 00:00:53.300
MBA programs do that if your program

19
00:00:53.300 --> 00:00:55.190
does not publish the average class

20
00:00:55.190 --> 00:00:56.480
profile and I know that a lot of

21
00:00:56.480 --> 00:00:58.850
bachelors enjoyed a lot of masters you

22
00:00:58.850 --> 00:01:00.080
can basically reach out to the

23
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:01.670
admissions committee and tell them hey

24
00:01:01.670 --> 00:01:03.650
my name is marina I'm an international

25
00:01:03.650 --> 00:01:05.630
student applying to your program could

26
00:01:05.630 --> 00:01:06.920
you please tell me what was the average

27
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.200
GPA of the students you've accepted last

28
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.240
year and maybe you could also advise me

29
00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:13.220
on you know the amount of experience

30
00:01:13.220 --> 00:01:15.020
they've had oh maybe what you're looking

31
00:01:15.020 --> 00:01:16.490
at when you're considering an

32
00:01:16.490 --> 00:01:18.140
application because this would give you

33
00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:21.050
an idea of what is strive for maybe you

34
00:01:21.050 --> 00:01:22.340
should do mobile into your experience

35
00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:24.500
maybe you should double down on your

36
00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:26.600
tests because again average class

37
00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:28.550
profile is what you should strive to

38
00:01:28.550 --> 00:01:30.770
become and if you're at least 10 percent

39
00:01:30.770 --> 00:01:33.110
better the good chances are you're

40
00:01:33.110 --> 00:01:34.610
getting and you're getting some

41
00:01:34.610 --> 00:01:36.560
financial aid if you're ten percent

42
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.690
worse on each category like your GPA is

43
00:01:38.690 --> 00:01:41.660
10 percent worse your work experience is

44
00:01:41.660 --> 00:01:43.459
10 percent less then maybe it makes

45
00:01:43.459 --> 00:01:45.890
sense to postpone your application for a

46
00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:47.900
couple more months and dive deeper into

47
00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:50.900
tests or maybe even apply next year or

48
00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:52.670
maybe lower the plank of your

49
00:01:52.670 --> 00:01:54.680
universities and look for some lower

50
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.320
ranking ones but that have more chances

51
00:01:57.320 --> 00:01:59.750
of you getting accepted let's take a

52
00:01:59.750 --> 00:02:02.780
look average class profile let's do

53
00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:05.229
Harvard

54
00:02:05.990 --> 00:02:10.410
so what we have here is 9,000 applicants

55
00:02:10.410 --> 00:02:13.560
900 got accepted less than 10% 69

56
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.540
countries represented perfect 11 or

57
00:02:15.540 --> 00:02:17.910
national students 41 percent women 37

58
00:02:17.910 --> 00:02:20.099
percent international nice but what

59
00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:24.030
interests me a lot is first GPA is my

60
00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:26.639
GPA high enough like if you are getting

61
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.880
this 3 point 71 GPA the average and

62
00:02:29.880 --> 00:02:32.459
yours is like 3 point 3 that means you

63
00:02:32.459 --> 00:02:34.260
have to show really high GMAT score like

64
00:02:34.260 --> 00:02:35.970
higher than average because you have to

65
00:02:35.970 --> 00:02:37.830
be on average I would say in order to

66
00:02:37.830 --> 00:02:39.360
get accepted and get financial aid that

67
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.370
you need to be at least 10% higher than

68
00:02:41.370 --> 00:02:45.090
average on every single criteria like

69
00:02:45.090 --> 00:02:50.220
GPA work experience test results etc but

70
00:02:50.220 --> 00:02:52.500
if you're not like be careful here this

71
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:53.669
is something that I always pay attention

72
00:02:53.669 --> 00:02:55.950
to background like economics humanities

73
00:02:55.950 --> 00:02:58.139
stem like this doesn't give me a lot of

74
00:02:58.139 --> 00:03:00.269
information but for example if I'm

75
00:03:00.269 --> 00:03:01.980
applying from an economics background I

76
00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:03.569
know that I'm in the majority which

77
00:03:03.569 --> 00:03:04.950
means that I have better chances

78
00:03:04.950 --> 00:03:06.269
slightly better chances of getting

79
00:03:06.269 --> 00:03:10.590
accepted average age 27 sounds good if

80
00:03:10.590 --> 00:03:12.750
you're a 29 if you're a 25 that's all

81
00:03:12.750 --> 00:03:15.750
good if you're like 45 you might be a

82
00:03:15.750 --> 00:03:17.850
little like oh because again

83
00:03:17.850 --> 00:03:19.739
universities are looking for a diverse

84
00:03:19.739 --> 00:03:22.260
classes but they also want everyone to

85
00:03:22.260 --> 00:03:25.350
get well on together so they would be

86
00:03:25.350 --> 00:03:26.819
looking at people from different

87
00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:29.790
backgrounds but also like different ages

88
00:03:29.790 --> 00:03:33.329
but not like way too far so maybe if

89
00:03:33.329 --> 00:03:35.400
you're 45 I would recommend looking at

90
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.120
Executive MBA programs because v4r it's

91
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.980
always like so much fun like parties and

92
00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:42.540
stuff I don't know if you're interested

93
00:03:42.540 --> 00:03:44.760
in that a major 45 but maybe if you are

94
00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:49.709
again no worries here GMAT and Giri

95
00:03:49.709 --> 00:03:51.150
because they accept both they're gonna

96
00:03:51.150 --> 00:03:53.430
give you like median okay so the median

97
00:03:53.430 --> 00:03:57.150
is 730 if your GMAT is 690 up well for

98
00:03:57.150 --> 00:03:59.100
Harvard I wouldn't really apply it maybe

99
00:03:59.100 --> 00:04:01.680
try but the chances are low again

100
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.380
ideally your GMAT is like 740 or if

101
00:04:04.380 --> 00:04:07.109
you're taking Jerry it's almost like a

102
00:04:07.109 --> 00:04:10.109
hundred seventy on both 170 is the Mac

103
00:04:10.109 --> 00:04:13.040
so here so again you want to be

104
00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:16.370
ten person better or at least like not

105
00:04:16.370 --> 00:04:19.160
more than ten percent worse when I was

106
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.738
at this hovered MBA Meetup what they

107
00:04:21.738 --> 00:04:23.930
told me like you always have a chance of

108
00:04:23.930 --> 00:04:25.880
a plane later right you always have the

109
00:04:25.880 --> 00:04:28.279
street deadlines the ideal situations

110
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.110
that you apply in the first or second

111
00:04:30.110 --> 00:04:32.060
deadline if you're applying them the

112
00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:33.350
third deadline there are really low

113
00:04:33.350 --> 00:04:35.089
chances of getting accepted but

114
00:04:35.089 --> 00:04:36.529
sometimes you like maybe I should apply

115
00:04:36.529 --> 00:04:38.180
in the second deadline instead of the

116
00:04:38.180 --> 00:04:40.070
first so the decision-making process

117
00:04:40.070 --> 00:04:42.589
here should look like would I be able to

118
00:04:42.589 --> 00:04:46.009
improve my test scores by 35% if I apply

119
00:04:46.009 --> 00:04:49.190
in the second round and if the answer is

120
00:04:49.190 --> 00:04:52.160
yes then just postpone your application

121
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.139
work a little more on your tests and

122
00:04:54.139 --> 00:04:56.839
apply it later another important thing

123
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.000
to mention again what I've done when I

124
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.099
was communicating with the universities

125
00:05:01.099 --> 00:05:03.020
I was communicating with them like

126
00:05:03.020 --> 00:05:05.029
writing emails really important to show

127
00:05:05.029 --> 00:05:06.740
that you're interested and I was

128
00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:08.210
attending all of the seminars and

129
00:05:08.210 --> 00:05:09.560
webinars that they conducted for

130
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.990
international or like any applicants

131
00:05:11.990 --> 00:05:14.300
there would be like 20 people on those

132
00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:16.279
webinars especially if it's a smaller

133
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.349
university but they gonna remember you

134
00:05:18.349 --> 00:05:19.849
they're gonna remember you as an active

135
00:05:19.849 --> 00:05:22.099
student for a top-ranking universities

136
00:05:22.099 --> 00:05:23.539
they would want you to come on campus

137
00:05:23.539 --> 00:05:25.310
maybe to take a tour it this is like an

138
00:05:25.310 --> 00:05:27.680
ideal thing and they always ask for it

139
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.080
like if you look at an application you

140
00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:31.909
would always see a question like have

141
00:05:31.909 --> 00:05:34.430
you attended any of our open days have

142
00:05:34.430 --> 00:05:35.839
you attended any meetings

143
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:37.669
have you met with our admissions

144
00:05:37.669 --> 00:05:40.490
committee because they want to see how

145
00:05:40.490 --> 00:05:43.970
interested you are hey how much you're

146
00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:45.199
willing to commit to this application

147
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.419
are you willing to travel for it are you

148
00:05:47.419 --> 00:05:50.240
willing to go to another city for that

149
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.260
because sometimes they have like travel

150
00:05:53.260 --> 00:05:55.849
admissions committees and you can just

151
00:05:55.849 --> 00:05:58.460
meet them in in different places of the

152
00:05:58.460 --> 00:06:01.669
world so if you don't have the chance to

153
00:06:01.669 --> 00:06:03.710
travel at least go to all of their

154
00:06:03.710 --> 00:06:06.470
seminars webinars and stuff and use your

155
00:06:06.470 --> 00:06:08.300
real name while registering because

156
00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:09.620
again this is the way for them to

157
00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:12.680
remember you and this really works thank
