Hi Ekta, Thank you for the insights. I am currently in the process of selecting photos and I had a doubt, In the image for example your first image where you showcased you have travelled, was it more than one images collaged together in a single photo or was it a single image of a particular place from all the places you’ve traveled
So I did a really cool thing, where I took a map and dropped pins on where I had travelled. You could use the same idea or make a collage. Whatever works best for you.
At any university, you can take stem courses and apply for a STEM OPT visa. That way, you can stay in the US for longer but you can include it in the requirements for the visa. Basically take the Fashion Luxury MBA and add the STEM courses as electives. Hope this helps and good luck!
Hi Ekta! Could you please give some guidance on how to go about the change essay for NYU retail and luxury program? Is it difficult for Indians to get a job post the 1 year NON STEM course? Is that a challenge? Also, if I rephrase my sentences using chatgpt, will that count as plagiarism?
Hi ishita, I wouldn't recommend using ChatGPT for any of your applications as it will count as plagiarism. The STEM OPT visa, will definitely help when applying for jobs as opposed to the non STEM visa. Please contact me directly on LinkedIn if you need any guidance regarding your essay! Thanks again for watching!
Hi Ekta.. I wanted to know if the admissions team would get a strong feeling and reject the application if i apply for both PhD and MBA for fall 2024. Because that would indicate i don't have clarity in what i wanna do.. And the thing is i know both degrees are different and can't be done at the same time.. My doubt is will they reject when they get to know that I applied for both?
I’m not too sure about that, but most universities have different admissions teams for the PhD and MBA programs. However, I would recommend not applying for both programs at the same school. Best of luck!
Hi Ekta ! came to know about this video while scrolling and researching for MBA Colleges down there in NY , Can you brief me in about the details and info bout NYU MBA program and where can I connect with you for doubts and updates ?
Hi of course! Do you can connect with me on LinkedIn. For personal consultations, please check out my Calendly - calendly.com/ek732/one-on-one-consulting-session?month=2024-07
Again, the work experience is crucial when sitting in the classroom. At business school, you’ll be doing case studies which will require you to draw from your own experience. GMAT scores tend to be more of a check in the box rather than something that sets you apart from other candidates.
@@athena2597 haha couldn't relate more. I have applied to NYU last week and these timelines scare me now. Hoping to hear from the other schools sooner though. :P
Of course! You don’t need a brand name to be able to get into an MBA school. I have plenty of classmates who have started their own businesses and don’t have job experience from a prestigious company, but they have shown how their work experience has shaped them for a leadership program such as an MBA.
Hi Ekta! Amazing video so my question is related to the academics. I scored a 7.5 GPA in my 10th grade and for my 12th grade it lowered down to 56% now I know thats bad and I’m working hard in my BBA Undergrad program and I’m maintaining 8.0 GPA. Will this affect my admission?? Pls reply
Don’t worry about your high school grades. It terms of an MBA they are just concerned with your undergrad GPA and your work experience. Hope this helps!
@@athena2597Thankyouu for replying. I am From Pakistan doing bachelor's degree and I want to apply for MBA in NYU (not now in future) , for that I need a person who can guide me about every step.
@ar_liaqat yes of course, if you’re interested you can get in touch with me personally via my Calendly : calendly.com/ek732/one-on-one-consulting-session
@@s_rox5042 I don't think that should be too much of an issue. But you should check out the average GPAs/GMAT scores for the schools you're applying to. Some schools are more GPA focussed whereas others are not so much. Remember GPA, is just one part of your whole application!
Hi Ekta! Thanks for sharing. I've reached you out on Linkedin but let me ask in here as well.. from your personal experience, out of all the documents you have submitted for application, which part do you think makes your application stand out among other applicants and why? And do you think that high GMAT/GRE score is a key determinant in order to get in? Thank you in advance! :)
Ok, so I would think that one of the main reasons that my application stood out is for my diverse background and for my background working at the Bank of Montreal. It's important to try to craft a story rather than looking at metrics. While a high GMAT/GRE score is important, the focus is more on the story and the intangibles rather than just numbers. Hope this helps!
Thank you very much for sharing useful tips and insights
Thanks for watching! :D

Hi Ekta! Please also tell about the financial aids which are available for the students and also if you are also availing any of them.

Do you want to know about financial aid at Cornell or NYU?
Hi ma’am i want to study mba in Fashion luxury MBA but i’m scared of taking non stem course for USA. What should I do?

If my gmat score is outstanding but im not work experienced so is there will it effect the acceptance?

Can you do a video for international master’s students? Its so confusing. I have no idea whats required. Thank you ❤
Yes I can! 😀
Hey! Can you please tell me what was the timeline for you to get an Interview call after filling in the application?
Sure, so I got my interview call in November after applying in September. I ended up getting my final decision in August.
@@athena2597 woah, that's some crazy timeline, how did you keep with the anxiety in between :o
@@aditimittal669 you apply to other schools, and have anxiety over the other applications. XD
@@athena2597 haha couldn't relate more. I have applied to NYU last week and these timelines scare me now. Hoping to hear from the other schools sooner though. :P
Hi ekta,may I know if someone didnot have job experience from any particular mnc company, did this lvy school accepted for Mba
Of course! You don’t need a brand name to be able to get into an MBA school. I have plenty of classmates who have started their own businesses and don’t have job experience from a prestigious company, but they have shown how their work experience has shaped them for a leadership program such as an MBA.
Thanks. This is very timely
Of course! Please let me know what else you would like to see!

@@athena2597 thank you so much Ekta! Would like to see more videos of you about college life at NYU.
Sure, I’m at Cornell though. So I’ll have to film a video about that.
Please make a video on financial aid by NYU
Of course! Do you have any specific questions I can answer?

Thank you so much for watching! Anything you want to ask me, you can leave them right here in the comments and I'll try to get back to you ASAP. :D
@@athena2597 I thought you mentioned that you do offer some kind of professional coaching coz mine wasn't a general enquiry

Do we need to add photos in pdf of pic 6
Yes, of course, the Pick Six essay is definitely a visual essay.
What’s if my goal is not in finance? I’m into tech.
So, you can take specific classes about the tech MBA and look into those specifically. There are plenty of people who are also into tech as well.
Thanks@@athena2597
What was your work ex in the application?
My work experience was 3.5 years.
What was your GPA & GMAT score ? Nice video
My GPA was based on the Indian system was 7.2/10 and my GRE was 318.
Hi @@athena2597 how would it be for 6.5/10 GPA?
