      Is MBA a STERM accredited course?

    I'll like to ask for your view on getting a loan from Mpower and co for an MBA, if it won't pose a red flag for visa.

    • @FisayoGracieAbby
      @FisayoGracieAbby  2 роки тому +3

      Thank you for following Junior! I know many students who have gotten visas with loans and I also know a handful who got denied at first/second attempt but eventually got it. So although it might be questioned, because logically you'd tell them that your post MBA goal is to come back and take up a managerial position in your home country or whatever. This means your personal funds, the funds from your sponsor (if any) or the amount you will be making in the new role should ideally be sufficient to pay up your debt in the loan term.

    Hello Fisayo.
    I stumbled upon your recent video on how to apply for an MBA and I binge-watched the videos on your UA-cam channel.
    But I have a little difficulty, I'm a final year student studying education chemistry at a Nigerian university. I am to get a BeD certificate.
    But I want to apply for an MBA outside the country, please how do I transition since I don't have a prior degree related to business.

      Hello Lovelyn, great to have you here!
      Do you have any work experience? You can use that to boost your profile. You also don’t necessarily need to have a business background to do an MBA. Like I said in this video, some of my classmates were lawyers, doctors etc but they did have experience working in their field

    Is mba from an unranked regional business school worth it?
    What will the job prospects look like?

    • @FisayoGracieAbby
      @FisayoGracieAbby  2 роки тому +2

      Unranked? First, that's a red flag. Second, can you check out the school's website and look through their career reports? That's a great way to find out the types of jobs previous graduates of the schools have gotten.
      Generally, I would not advise anyone to attend an unranked school.

      Well everyone keeps saying don't compare yourself to other people that got scholarship if you don't know all the details of their application -Like was your MBA stem related ? what course did you choose - I haven't commenced my application , I want to write my GRE and apply in round two for ASU.
      Everyone at home thinks I'm notbeing realistic pushing for a full scholarship - but since I saw your video - its being the string testimony I have held on to.

      @@oguamasonnia4727 Oh my bad Sonnia, because you said "what is your cgpa" I thought you were referring to my current MBA cgpa so I thought that was unnecessary.
      While you are correct about not knowing full details on an applicant's academic qualifications, through my MBA journey I have found that it's not always significant.
      For instance, in my school I know students who finished with 2:2 awarded full scholarships, same with students who made first class. So it's basically about how you tell your story and package your application. I know that students who do not have strong undergrad grades focus more on either their certifications, accomplishments at work/business, GRE/GMAT scores etc, they speak to their strengths and sideline the rest.
