00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:02.250
hey guys welcome to my channel today I'm

2
00:00:02.250 --> 00:00:03.959
gonna teach you how to find the right

3
00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:06.150
University for yourself

4
00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:08.250
mus along there are three thousand two

5
00:00:08.250 --> 00:00:09.750
universities in colleges and there is

6
00:00:09.750 --> 00:00:12.119
also Canada Australia and so many

7
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:14.280
countries where you can study so today

8
00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:17.789
is a very hands-on class on how to find

9
00:00:17.789 --> 00:00:19.500
that right University how does sort

10
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:21.630
universities based on some criteria that

11
00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:24.268
I've used when I was applying for my MBA

12
00:00:24.268 --> 00:00:26.310
and master's programs in the United

13
00:00:26.310 --> 00:00:29.880
States so take your computer or at least

14
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:32.009
your notebook and write things down

15
00:00:32.009 --> 00:00:33.899
because they're very very practical in

16
00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:35.850
the ideal world I would need you to do

17
00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:38.219
the things that I'm asking you to do on

18
00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:40.110
your laptop so you can start your

19
00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:42.600
research right now let's do it

20
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:49.200
let's start number one you need to

21
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.460
decide what kind of program you're

22
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:52.620
applying to when I was applying to my

23
00:00:52.620 --> 00:00:54.930
masters and am a program my main

24
00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:57.030
criteria for university was that it

25
00:00:57.030 --> 00:00:59.039
provides financial aid so the program

26
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.140
didn't really matter but I know

27
00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:02.820
sometimes people are very specific I

28
00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:05.819
want to do bachelors and science or I

29
00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:07.740
want to do an MBA in a top university

30
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:10.709
and this is something you have to decide

31
00:01:10.709 --> 00:01:13.438
for yourself so what is that program

32
00:01:13.438 --> 00:01:15.390
that you're applying to once you have

33
00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:17.759
decided what kind of program that is you

34
00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:19.890
would need to use a very good website

35
00:01:19.890 --> 00:01:23.549
called google.com you go there and you

36
00:01:23.549 --> 00:01:26.188
look for rankings of universities that

37
00:01:26.188 --> 00:01:31.280
have your program for example let's do

38
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.479
bachelor's in economics I'm gonna be

39
00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:38.759
talking about us mostly in this course

40
00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:41.790
so let's do bachelor's in economics USA

41
00:01:41.790 --> 00:01:45.780
or ring King what we have here we have a

42
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:48.659
lot of different websites my favorite is

43
00:01:48.659 --> 00:01:51.149
US News comm because they've done a

44
00:01:51.149 --> 00:01:52.439
really good job

45
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.180
ringing almost everything that's

46
00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:56.850
happening in the US doctors educational

47
00:01:56.850 --> 00:01:59.009
programs like whatever you're looking

48
00:01:59.009 --> 00:02:00.899
for there is also top universities

49
00:02:00.899 --> 00:02:03.570
column which is a good website Financial

50
00:02:03.570 --> 00:02:06.000
Times coms and I really like Melissa's

51
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.590
new US News column because I'm so used

52
00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:10.319
to it and here we actually have best

53
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.290
global universities for economics and

54
00:02:12.290 --> 00:02:15.349
business your goal is to have six

55
00:02:15.349 --> 00:02:16.909
universities on your list that you're

56
00:02:16.909 --> 00:02:19.459
gonna apply to two universities are your

57
00:02:19.459 --> 00:02:21.980
dream universities and if you have a

58
00:02:21.980 --> 00:02:24.469
high GPA if you're sure that your

59
00:02:24.469 --> 00:02:26.419
application is strong enough then you

60
00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:28.250
can consider the top ones like Harvard

61
00:02:28.250 --> 00:02:31.400
or Stanford MIT then you have two

62
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.500
universities limba three and four that

63
00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:35.389
you think you have good chances of

64
00:02:35.389 --> 00:02:37.939
getting into for those universities I

65
00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:40.220
would go lower in the ranking and maybe

66
00:02:40.220 --> 00:02:44.269
go to like page number five and so for

67
00:02:44.269 --> 00:02:46.010
example Ohio State University great

68
00:02:46.010 --> 00:02:48.290
university ranking number 42 in the

69
00:02:48.290 --> 00:02:49.489
whole world for bachelor's in economics

70
00:02:49.489 --> 00:02:52.129
which is awesome okay and then

71
00:02:52.129 --> 00:02:53.599
University of Southern California and

72
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:55.700
the number five and six would be your

73
00:02:55.700 --> 00:02:57.349
safety universities if you're applying

74
00:02:57.349 --> 00:02:59.959
to a bachelor's program that could

75
00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:01.730
probably be community colleges like

76
00:03:01.730 --> 00:03:03.889
Santa Monica College or Pasadena

77
00:03:03.889 --> 00:03:06.109
Community College depends on your budget

78
00:03:06.109 --> 00:03:08.510
depends on where you want to study but

79
00:03:08.510 --> 00:03:10.849
if you're looking for universities with

80
00:03:10.849 --> 00:03:13.010
full financial aid I would say you would

81
00:03:13.010 --> 00:03:14.840
need to research at least like sixty

82
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.579
University this is six

83
00:03:16.579 --> 00:03:19.579
0:16 universities and by research I mean

84
00:03:19.579 --> 00:03:21.530
that you go to the university's website

85
00:03:21.530 --> 00:03:26.030
and fill in a table that I'm gonna show

86
00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:30.620
you right now so what is this magical

87
00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:32.629
table that I'm talking about here you

88
00:03:32.629 --> 00:03:34.760
see universities that have bachelors in

89
00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:36.979
Business and Economics programs this is

90
00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:39.019
a list of like six universities before

91
00:03:39.019 --> 00:03:41.150
that we had like 40 because we were

92
00:03:41.150 --> 00:03:43.370
researching a lot this is for one of our

93
00:03:43.370 --> 00:03:45.970
students who we can totally use it so

94
00:03:45.970 --> 00:03:49.040
number one Columbia University so you

95
00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:51.949
have the name of your University number

96
00:03:51.949 --> 00:03:55.370
two link to admissions sometimes you

97
00:03:55.370 --> 00:03:56.449
forget something

98
00:03:56.449 --> 00:03:57.889
you need a double check something and

99
00:03:57.889 --> 00:03:59.540
you don't want to Google again and look

100
00:03:59.540 --> 00:04:01.220
for this University and find the right

101
00:04:01.220 --> 00:04:02.510
page on their website because their

102
00:04:02.510 --> 00:04:05.449
websites are so so so confusing

103
00:04:05.449 --> 00:04:07.909
sometimes and before you like find the

104
00:04:07.909 --> 00:04:10.579
first ten universities you're gonna get

105
00:04:10.579 --> 00:04:12.680
really confused so link to admission is

106
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.449
gonna save you a lot of time number

107
00:04:14.449 --> 00:04:17.870
three acceptance rate and their GPA in

108
00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:20.000
terms of acceptance rate again first two

109
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.709
universities could probably have like

110
00:04:21.709 --> 00:04:24.050
five to fifteen percent acceptance rate

111
00:04:24.050 --> 00:04:25.470
which means they're really

112
00:04:25.470 --> 00:04:27.240
really competitive and if you have like

113
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.100
all six universities with five percent

114
00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:31.440
acceptance rate good chances are you're

115
00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:33.540
not starting your education next year

116
00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:35.700
because your chances of getting accepted

117
00:04:35.700 --> 00:04:37.380
might be really low if all the

118
00:04:37.380 --> 00:04:39.300
universities are really competitive so

119
00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:41.550
number one and two I would suggest like

120
00:04:41.550 --> 00:04:44.580
being highly competitive then number

121
00:04:44.580 --> 00:04:47.400
three and four aim for acceptance rate

122
00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:49.080
of like thirty to forty percent

123
00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:51.660
and number five and six I would say like

124
00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:54.390
sixty percent plus just to you know be

125
00:04:54.390 --> 00:04:57.720
on the safe side GPA some universities

126
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.960
would have like a minimum GPA but the

127
00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:04.050
majority say oh like apply with any GPA

128
00:05:04.050 --> 00:05:06.089
and would consider your and compare your

129
00:05:06.089 --> 00:05:08.550
application to others it's a good

130
00:05:08.550 --> 00:05:10.920
practice to ask a university or research

131
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.110
this information what is the average GPA

132
00:05:13.110 --> 00:05:15.180
of a person who got accepted last year

133
00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:17.550
so here we have for Columbia six percent

134
00:05:17.550 --> 00:05:19.470
acceptance rate which is really low

135
00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:21.900
which means six out of 100 people get

136
00:05:21.900 --> 00:05:24.570
accepted which is like super low and GPA

137
00:05:24.570 --> 00:05:27.510
3.8 but if we go down the list wells I

138
00:05:27.510 --> 00:05:29.520
have safety universities here Penn State

139
00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:31.230
number fifteen national universities

140
00:05:31.230 --> 00:05:34.230
which is great acceptance rate fifty one

141
00:05:34.230 --> 00:05:36.779
percent and I'd be average GPA is a

142
00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:38.669
little over like three fifty five

143
00:05:38.669 --> 00:05:41.430
minimum TOEFL if you're coming from a

144
00:05:41.430 --> 00:05:43.470
foreign country and if you don't have at

145
00:05:43.470 --> 00:05:45.600
least two years of education in English

146
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.520
in an english-speaking country then

147
00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:49.140
there is any nine percent chance that

148
00:05:49.140 --> 00:05:50.880
you would need to take either TOEFL or

149
00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:52.800
IELTS which is the language test and

150
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.950
it's a very good practice to know what's

151
00:05:55.950 --> 00:05:58.260
the minimum that you should aim for so

152
00:05:58.260 --> 00:05:59.940
if you still want to have Columbia

153
00:05:59.940 --> 00:06:01.529
University on your list you need a

154
00:06:01.529 --> 00:06:04.110
target at least a hundred on your TOEFL

155
00:06:04.110 --> 00:06:07.260
but again if you decide to drop Columbia

156
00:06:07.260 --> 00:06:07.620
later

157
00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:10.740
Berkeley's TOEFL minimum is eighty and

158
00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:13.229
then 80 and Penn State so yeah it's

159
00:06:13.229 --> 00:06:14.490
really important to assess your

160
00:06:14.490 --> 00:06:16.500
abilities before you start picking

161
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.930
universities if your upper intermediate

162
00:06:18.930 --> 00:06:21.029
then it's 80 if you're advanced then

163
00:06:21.029 --> 00:06:24.810
it's like a hundred plus average SAT so

164
00:06:24.810 --> 00:06:27.029
some universities we require SAT for

165
00:06:27.029 --> 00:06:28.650
their bachelor's programs if you're

166
00:06:28.650 --> 00:06:31.440
applying to masters or an MBA program if

167
00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:33.570
it's related to economics tenants GMAT

168
00:06:33.570 --> 00:06:35.669
if it's not related to economics it's

169
00:06:35.669 --> 00:06:38.330
Jerry same for PhD programs

170
00:06:38.330 --> 00:06:39.949
some universities especially the lower

171
00:06:39.949 --> 00:06:41.870
ranking ones wouldn't even require any

172
00:06:41.870 --> 00:06:44.180
tests TOEFL or IELTS only for

173
00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:45.319
international students

174
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.740
so here again ask a university what's

175
00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:52.039
the average SAT or GMAT or GRE they've

176
00:06:52.039 --> 00:06:56.509
had intake so here we have 1510 and also

177
00:06:56.509 --> 00:06:59.419
this code means when our student would

178
00:06:59.419 --> 00:07:01.789
go to take her SAT she would put in the

179
00:07:01.789 --> 00:07:04.610
code 2 1 1 6 and her grades will go

180
00:07:04.610 --> 00:07:06.889
directly to the University so she

181
00:07:06.889 --> 00:07:09.550
wouldn't have to do it again SAT Subject

182
00:07:09.550 --> 00:07:10.909
sometimes

183
00:07:10.909 --> 00:07:12.949
top universities require it and then

184
00:07:12.949 --> 00:07:14.569
whenever they don't it's a good practice

185
00:07:14.569 --> 00:07:16.280
to actually take them to improve your

186
00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:18.770
and strengthen your application but

187
00:07:18.770 --> 00:07:21.349
again have this column in your table of

188
00:07:21.349 --> 00:07:22.900
where you would have this information

189
00:07:22.900 --> 00:07:25.669
application deadlines very important

190
00:07:25.669 --> 00:07:27.169
because if you miss it

191
00:07:27.169 --> 00:07:29.900
sorry some universities require you to

192
00:07:29.900 --> 00:07:31.969
apply as early as November and that's

193
00:07:31.969 --> 00:07:34.789
early application deadline and if you're

194
00:07:34.789 --> 00:07:36.800
aiming for a top university I would aim

195
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:38.900
for early application deadline which

196
00:07:38.900 --> 00:07:41.689
could be as early as November 1st so if

197
00:07:41.689 --> 00:07:44.509
I wanted to start my tuition at Columbia

198
00:07:44.509 --> 00:07:47.719
in September 2019 I would have had to

199
00:07:47.719 --> 00:07:51.349
apply in November 2018 tuition and

200
00:07:51.349 --> 00:07:53.419
living costs very important especially

201
00:07:53.419 --> 00:07:55.219
if you're an international student look

202
00:07:55.219 --> 00:07:57.589
for international fees don't forget to

203
00:07:57.589 --> 00:07:59.750
include accommodation and tuition so

204
00:07:59.750 --> 00:08:02.180
here it's 68 thousand dollars a year

205
00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:04.909
all-inclusive but guess what if you're

206
00:08:04.909 --> 00:08:07.069
looking for financial aid this is that

207
00:08:07.069 --> 00:08:09.259
column that you would need to fill in so

208
00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:10.849
go to a financial aid section and

209
00:08:10.849 --> 00:08:12.620
research whether they have financial aid

210
00:08:12.620 --> 00:08:14.900
for international students and sometimes

211
00:08:14.900 --> 00:08:16.520
the universities would cover everything

212
00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:19.610
including your accommodation and food

213
00:08:19.610 --> 00:08:22.610
and then some notes maybe you know

214
00:08:22.610 --> 00:08:25.039
somebody at a university or maybe there

215
00:08:25.039 --> 00:08:26.960
is something you particularly like so

216
00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:29.839
start filling in this table right now I

217
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.310
hope you've wrote everything down I hope

218
00:08:31.310 --> 00:08:33.260
you created a template with me together

219
00:08:33.260 --> 00:08:35.570
so start researching your universities

220
00:08:35.570 --> 00:08:37.519
and start filling the information once

221
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.979
you have like 20 or 30 universities you

222
00:08:39.979 --> 00:08:41.958
would start crossing out universities

223
00:08:41.958 --> 00:08:43.820
that you don't like that are maybe too

224
00:08:43.820 --> 00:08:46.170
expensive or don't have financial aid

225
00:08:46.170 --> 00:08:48.389
required TOEFL score is too high I'm

226
00:08:48.389 --> 00:08:51.000

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.370
