First to comment! Thanks for sharing your tips!
Thanks for posting another video. it is a huge help for my present situation.
I am planning to get into one of M7 b-schools 4 years later to use it as a step stone to break into IBD, and the n hedge fund.
However, I am so worried about my low GPA(2.98) that it will be a fatal obstacle to filter me out from candidates.
The reason is because CS as my original major of undergrad didn't fit me at all, and switched into Sociology that I wasn't gravitated as well since I was an intl student can't afford to take time and money, so wanted to graduate quickly as much as possible. Omitting a background history, I acquired USCPA and got into Big 4 Audit recently, and planning to make work experience until the MBA admission. During the time, I am going to choose one of the two options to improve my application: 1.Get second bachelor of undergrad(finance) for the purposes of improving my GPA and getting base knowledge of Finance. 2.Get CFA to be familiar with finance concepts and to appeal my resilience and motivation to the admission office.
1st one: 3.3 gpa even if I passed all A, costly, time-consuming
2nd one: comparatively reasonable, needs time commitment but still manageable
I don't have anyone around me who can discuss this issue. So, please give me some insights to help my decision.
Do not get a second degree. And do not get the CFA. Work on your CPA this year. Because of your extremely low gpa you are gonna need at least a 730 GMAT to get into a top 15 program.
Do audit for 4-5 years and then apply to business school and hope the big 4 name and high gmat helps.
Or do audit, then after 2-3 years switch to FDD.
Also, are you an asian male?
@@accountsequity5587 Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate that. I took your options into consideration, but anyway I'm gonna put my mind to passing the CPA exam and get a job as an auditor.
About the last question, yes, I'm an asian male. I've heard candidate's ethnic background influences on an application slightly a bit, but I hope i won't work in a bad way when I apply to.
Our work experience is similar. Though, I'm from SEA. I used to work in Big 4 audit, now I work in Big 4 Deals Advisory (FDDs). If I were you, I would recommend transferring to a deals team within your firm (though it maybe more difficult in the US than in SEA) or just transfer to the deals team in another Big 4 firm. Regarding CPA vs CFA. I've actually had this debate with myself and decided to get the CFA instead.
Given that someone is admitted to the school, will you be held you to your responses from your initial application e.g., "start a VC firm focused in the creative space"?
For example, if you run into someone that knew about your application, I suppose it's understood to always have those responses/backup answers ready to go at all times, despite how "relaxed" an MBA program is right?
I guess my question is, you really still can't let your guard down because you never know who you might meet right?
Appreciate the content. Happy new year.
My GPA is 3.3 and GMAT is 780. I am 23, and when I was 20 I opened a charity foundation. I also worked as in invest analyst intern and financial analyst. I opened an IT startup when i was 19 and a moving company when I was 18. I got declined by Oxford, Harvard, Yale 😢. Don’t know what to do now, extremely depressed, but your videos hype me up. Thank you !
What the hell
Try @ others like insead lse and mim programmes
U need lots of work ex to join mba
U r the ideal candidate
Dont worry ull get into a top b school
Hi
Great video as always!
Do the LORs need to be sent from official emails or my recommenders can use their personal email addresses?
Thank you!
another great video 💯
Did you learn the DTC method in Berkeley or J.P. Morgan , for some reason I’m looking for emba program but I couldn’t find any valuation courses being offer that teaches DTC properly at those emba programs , btw what is your opionion on Chicago or Wharton EMBA program?
I went into the Cambridge university’s Judge Business school with a GMAT score of 690. Very exhausting application process even in the UK
Congratulations! Could you please explain your profile in a bit detail and also any tips for people looking to do an mba from the UK?
What drew you to the English MBA program more than the American ones?
@@user-vk6ne6uv1y I live in the UK/ London : born & raised. A USA MBA is two years too long! Here in the UK one can get an MBA in one academic year!
@@vishwasparmar5618 thanks. I work for a Middle Eastern start up based in Dubai, but I work in our London office. I am a former Goldman Sachs M&A associate.
@@vishwasparmar5618 both Oxford and Cambridge university Business schools value academic merit and a minimum 2 years worth of work experience greatly. They don’t care too much regarding your GMAT score IMO so long as you score anything above a 620!! I have a classmate who scored a 620 ,but she came from a very strong academic background in humanities (law) and worked for a magic city law firm (Clifford chance)
Bschool here I come!!!
Can you do a video about “how to get into your dream undergraduate school” from a community college perspective & high school ?
That's probably better for an admissions officer to do, and there's plenty of resources out there
Could you please share the specimen for recommendation letter
Hey Ben! Can a student apply with another Master’s degree and its marks. For instance, if someone does their masters in finance but then later they choose to do an MBA, would the admission office look closer at the master’s mark or the undergraduate mark? Thanks! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for sharing video
How can I connect with you
brother but i need 2-3 years of work experience before joining top b schools
Really look at cost benefit analysis of doing now. Have 3 friends went to top MBA schools and not on a higher salary than entered and some never got into sector they wanted.
depends, i know many people who are making way more post mba. plus there are many long term benefits but i do think people should be careful in that getting an mba isn't a guarantee of anything. you still have to work hard and at times get lucky
@@rareliquid Absolutey. However, I know a lot of people who already had a top Masters degree in niche subject (so MBA never had any technical advantage) and they were hoping to transition into a $300k-$500k plus private equity job. Fact is, that is not happening for many. Those were successful had some private equity exposure or something very closely related. A lot of dreamers are in for tough reality of the real world when they leave their business school bubble.
@@dac8939bro why r u busting my bubble. I wanna transition from practicing law to an mba...but u r makng me have doubts. Especially considering ill be an international student
Spraying and praying lol 😅

Hey I m from India too and doing bcom currently in 2nd year please share me your insta ID so we can talk as I also wanna do mba from big schools

Whoa, whoa, whoa, every time you've spoken about AS you've mentioned how much it was a financial dumpster fire (among other things I'm not sure can be repeated), but your CV makes it seem not so bad. 1 return out of 500 and 8 out of 9 months of increasing sales sounds pretty good - unless you went from selling 1 a month to 2, and then to 3 and so on haha, but it doesn't look like that. Now I'm even more intrigued 🧐😅
Also, didn't you say you co-founder wrote your letter of recommendation, but that it was before you started rareliquid? I bet he was delighted you got in on his letter of recommendation but then saw how rareliquid was taking off and how you'd have less time with your MBA and thought, Ah, shit, I should've thrown Ben under the bus! 😂😂
Kellogg in shambles having been left out of the thumbnail
lol
Wait.. who put their GPA on the resume
Me I have 4 gpa 😂
