Really helpful and transparent on your experience - thanks!
Appreciate you posting this. I'm looking into this now!
Thank you for your transparency! I have a strong gpa but I’m trying to solidify a strong GMAT! Best of luck at Columbia!
i hope it was helpful!! good luck w the GMAT ☺
@@Slowlybutshrlyhi dear I hope you doing well. .can you guess my profile is competitive or not ?
Gpa-3.6 (this was highest gpa in my university at that time in humanity )
Gmat 760
Occupation -civil servant (beurocrate in govt have being in leadership positions from 4 years ..got 1 award for high performance and as we get time based promotion, not performance based I got 1 promotion after my joining
I am associated with non profit organization too whose aim is to give very accecible education to most poor childrens too ..
Quick FYI for those currently prepping for the GMAT that the exam has changed since this video was created in 2022. Although a lot of stuff from the old version still applies, there is stuff that doesn't anymore. The new version, for example, does not have Sentence Correction. This doesn't necessarily mean that old prep material is bad per se. I may for instance still suggest to students to check out Manhattan Prep's 6th Edition for Critical Reasoning - which is part of the prep material linked by Slowlybutshrly - even though it came out years ago.
Thank you so much for the video. Wish you the best!
Great video shirley!!
Thank you so much! This was very helpfull
Hi Shirley. Can you also please let us know what you mentioned in your extracurriculars. Not the entire story by the key points or rather passions that you wrote your essay around :)
Thanks for the advice! How did you deal with rejection? Did they give any feedback?
Hi Shirley, hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you studied for the GMAT while at KPMG or during your undergrad? Is it reasonable to score close to 700 in about 3 months?
How big was the scholarship you got in Columbia in terms of % discount?
that is a strong extracurriculars. Huge respect on 2 and a half years of working there consistently.
Thanks very much for the transparency.
Do you think multilingualism works?
Hi Shirley! Do you think it would be worth it to apply for a top MBA Program if you’re not aiming to do ib/consulting or would going to a decent state school be good enough.
How were you able to transfer from Colorado to UCLA? What exactly did UCLA look at?
This was very helpful! Thanks
did u get accepted at wharton?

hey, im an indian undergrad student. it was always my dream to study at those prestigious unis and also ivys, but it was just not possible. Now im in 2nd yr of graduation and again im dreaming of doing masters(MBA) from any of these uni (penn, yale>>>), but i have no idea what all to do, how should i prepare for it, and how & when to apply!!!! someone please help me! is it even possible
Hi! Curious to know how accepting CBS is of partners/significant others?
Hi Shirley! Thanks for producing this video! Could you share more how you negotiated with schools for scholarship? Thank you!
You're welcome :)
I actually didn't negotiate at all, though I definitely should have!
Hello, I am from Iran and I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I love your songs 6:30
i’m in the same situation - how did you end up deciding between CBS & Kellogg . ps post mba consulting goal.
i always wanted to live in nyc + columbia scholarship made the decision easy for me. kellogg is good for consulting but CBS is too! if you wanna chat more i do MBA advising :) beacons.ai/itsshirleyy_
Do you mind sharing why you didn’t apply to Booth?
Does a gmat make up for a low gpa. Like a 760 gmat and 3.0 gpa
it definitely helps
what happened at wharton =- u didnt mention?
Can we have in depth videos for essay and resume.
How do you fund?
Hi😊.can i get into coulmbia buisness school after my high school
Hey did you use a mba consultant?
Your commentary on the weighting of verbal scores in GMAT is a little off from what I have heard about this quant/verbal skew. The GMAT score is closely tied to percentile, not right vs wrong answers. Because there are so many high achieving quant takers, a 47 is a good score but today only higher than 57% of others. Meanwhile, far far less people get perfect verbal scores than perfect quant, so those with higher verbal are distinguishing themselves in a far higher percentile relative to quant. The net affect is this “weighting” you mention but I don’t think it is imposed on by any committee or test writer. Offering this as a second perspective to your viewers.
Your percentile argument is highly misleading. The point of her statement was that GMAT unfairly leans toward Americans cuz they tend to underperform in quant. Your statement that it’s harder to get a perfect verbal score (which implies quant is easier) only
perpetuates the bias within the American Administered GMAT cuz international students will perform lower than Americans on verbal and better on quant. Thus the quant score reflects the strong aptitude of Americans and International students while the verbal tends to rewards Americans.
3.5 is good or 2.5???
How do you find
How long did you prep for the GMAT?
a couple months, I can't remember exactly
I scored 760 on GMAT but I don't have any reference, is there any school I can apply to without reference?
Is there any particular reason why you don’t want to ask for a reference?
@@Slowlybutshrly I am not comfortable asking my boss ( we barely talk) and I have been out of school for years so I can't contact my previous teachers. Plus even if I ask my boss which I have been working with for 7 years, it's only going to be 1 reference while schools ask for 3 references.
@@djrednitro4116 you can ask a mentor or another manager
how about wharton?
im guessing rejection? I mean atleast myself i wouldnt go to Columbia if Id gotten into Wharton considering the alumni and the networking opportnuities. though some may have their reasons to yet go to Columbia
I am doing my internship at UCLA Health this summer. I am excited....!
Heyy i got two questions
1. Is it possible for someone from belgium that has currently a bachelor degree in the study international business to get accepted???
2. What do mean with work experience you mean like when you got your bachelor degree and what kind of work just working in a company and does the internship that you did in your time in college count as workexperience??
Hi fellow Belgian. Did you get your business degree in university or college? To apply for an MBA you need a few years of real life work experience, unlike in Belgium where you pursue a master immediately after your bachelor. If you want to do a master immediately after your bachelor you should look at a highly ranked master in management. Most top master in management degrees are at European business schools such as LBS, HEC, Insead, Rotterdam… good luck
@@Hm-ky3nu ohhh okkayy thank youu for answering, I did my business degree in college and wanted to go to an business university abroad such as LBS
@@Hm-ky3nu heyyy thx for answering my questions!!! I did my business degree in college so is it still possible to get accepted?? For example in the LBS, I have a lot of experience in internships and i did a lot of leadershiprogramm's,..
And ofcourse I will take the GMAT test and try to aim very high but I'm just looking for realistic results here am I even qualified to get in with all of this???
@@Jasmina-nr1ko with a college degree I think it will be hard. Personally I would try to pursue a degree in handelswetenschappen from KULeuven etc. KULeuven and UGent are highly ranked internationally as a university and it only cost a fraction of going abroad. But Ofcpurse you can always try and pursue your dream of going international!
Hi shirley, greetings from India, i just wanted to ask does high school and middle school marks matter alot in the selection criteria of these top schools? Asking because of a low score in my high school due to exam cancellation because of covid!
My cgpa is 3.4
Can you do your mba after your bachelors ?
Yes
I have a cpa , and iam interested in doing MBA specialized in finance & marketing at columbia. Can you help me ? I live in texas
yes! i offer MBA coaching actually :) beacons.ai/itsshirleyy_
How long did you work for KPMG? I'm thinking of applying for an MBA and but have only 2 years of work experience at the moment (would be 3 years at matriculation if I get I were to apply for Fall 2024, but I'm concerned about my chances considering MBA students' average length of experience.
2.5 years!
Hey i need to ask a question.... I completed my undergraduate degree in medicine and really want to do mba in business administration.... Can i do that? ....
Please reply
Yeah there are some doctors in my classes!
@@Slowlybutshrly thank you for replying...
I just really want to ask a one more question ...
Do I also have to do undergraduate mba Or should I directly get admitted in graduate program..
Hope to see your reply
What is the amount of scholarship you received at Columbia?
feel free to book some time w me if you wanna talk more! beacons.ai/itsshirleyy_
@@Slowlybutshrly What sounds harder to your "ears"? 1. Masters Degree in Economics or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?
@@mathematicaleconomist4943 masters in stats
@@100subsnovideos9 Just one more please. No more questions after this one. What sounds harder to your ears? 1. Masters Degree in Accounting or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?
@@mathematicaleconomist4943 statistics, but you should do your own research on these things as well lol
Black hair😎
Do you recommend GMAT or GRE?
Gmat for mba
What career and starting salary are you wanting? Friend did maths and finance then Masters in financial engineering and now making $300k. You did well to get into Columbia as a 3.4 GPA is not Good. A 3.8 to 4.0 is a 1st class degree in UK and 3.5 or above is a 2.1
can't evaluate salary w/o knowing the whole package
From which university he got the master of financial engineering ?
@@Slowlybutshrly Yup. Alternatively, there are tons of people making $300k without masters degrees.
A 3.4 is pretty decent
@@gutstodance9999 Princeton. He had 3 top internships before getting in. Very difficult programme to get in. Only 5% or so get in
😍🔥💙👍🏻
pretty sure the title/thumbnail says it all on the “how I got accepted” lmaooooo
