Brilliant Tyler, glad to see URMs in elite spaces. Congratulations from a prospecitve Caribbean applicant
Thank you for your support, I hope the video was valuable to you. Goodluck on your application process!
Thank you so much for this video! was reassuring to hear you got in even though your stats were lower than the school's you were applying;s average because i was stressing over how low my GPA is compared to the my school's average. i'm applying to Wharton's Moelis Deferred MBA program right now!
You can absolutely do it! Best of luck to you
Heyy! How did it go?!
Great video. Thank you very much for sharing your experience!
Thanks for watching, and let me know if I can answer any questions
Hey Man, good content-I just graduated from USMMA and the leadership from federal service academies proves to be unmatched. Looking to take your advice to the next level in getting my MBA from a top institution as well. Thanks for this video
Thanks for your support, thank you for your service and Godspeed on your journey 🫡
Thanks man, I’m in the process and putting in the work, but I’m freaking out about all the steps, and the competition. It helps to see things holistically and introspectively. I’ll try and focus on doing me.
It’s a tough process for sure. Fear and anxiety come from a lack of action, and information. Create a timeline and work backwards. Take it one objective and one day at a time, I’m rooting for you!
@@tylerejackson yup yup one day at a time doing things step by step and accepting help. I appreciate it
Great tips, Tyler! Can’t wait to share with prospective MBA students.
Living for the bloopers, too. 😂
Gratz on Wharton 👍For anyone thinking of taking the GMAT, there is a new version "Focus" that has completely replaced the previous version. May want to google/read about the changes that have taken place. Sentence Correction is not included anymore, for example. - GMAT Knight
Thank you for your support and best of luck on your channel! GMAT tutors are heaven sent
Hey man, great content! Thanks for sharing your experience, I hope you continue to kill it out there!
Active duty officer here. Wondering what did you use to prepare for the GMAT?
Thank you for your service 🫡. I used TTP and the GMAT Club forum for GMAT prep. Once you get the basics and pacing down, hire a tutor for the final sprint if you need it.
bro just classify the controllable and non-controllable with all those brilliant achievements☠
amazing man thanks man
Thank you for supporting
Hey tyler, Congratulations for your admit🎉
What should be the average work ex we should target and are things different for international students ?
Thank you for watching. Work experience will vary, but the average work experience of Wharton MBA students is 5-6 years, my work experience was about 5 years.
Hi!! Thanks for the information. Did you use any programs/consultants to help you with your application? Obviously, a lot of people lean on these aids, so I wanted to get your opinion on the likelihood of someone of a good background still gaining admission without paying for a consultant.
Great question! Yes, it's possible to get into an MBA program without a consultant but possibility isn't probability. Some of the most "impressive" applicants still use consultants and prep programs so I'd say do what it takes to give yourself the best chance. I used both Riordan and MLT. Rooting for you!
Bro... you Gold
Thanks for watching and supporting bro!
Great video, is possible to connect for guidance about how to write an essay?
My essays went through several iterations from peers and professionals. I would seek external help on essays. Broadly, dig deep and connect your past to your present. Once discovered, show specifically how the MBA program can help you close any knowledge gaps that can help you get from where you are now, to where you want to be. Give it all you have, and don't be afraid to dig deep and cry a little.
Thanks
Tyler, I would love to connect to learn from you. I’m about to embark on my MBA journey and would love to gain your insight.
My goal is to give away as much free content and guidance on this channel and on linkedIN as possible. I'll also start 1:1 coaching calls soon, stay tuned. Thank you so much for watching.
Hi Tyler! I’m looking to apply for the upcoming program. I have about 4 years on freelance and running my business work experience but only 9 months working corporately. Do you feel that will impact my chances?
Hi, thank you for watching! Yes, full time MBA students typically have 5 years of professional experience but there are always outliers.
@@tylerejackson thank you! Does this also apply to a school like Wharton, when I researched they said online it doesn’t matter.
Hello sir have you hired any MBA admissions cousnltant or not if yes then who is this?
I worked with a consultant through MLT, and I hired an essay editor about a month before applications were due (too late IMO, but it worked out). I like Fortuna and MLT for both. Godspeed!
Hey Tyler
Do you offer coaching ?
Hi, thank you for supporting. Hopefully I will offer 1:1 calls later this year. For now, I'll strive to give as much free game on the channel as I can.
I would think the reasons why you got admitted are mainly because you served the country before and you are black given that your gmat and undergraduate’s gpa are both way lower than the bars.
Spoiler Alert: white women have always been the biggest beneficiaries of Affirmative Action-based admissions. It isn’t black people who are preventing you Asians from getting in.
I hope life is working out for you, thanks for watching.
You are part of an under-represented cohort of applicants which is why the requirements for you to be accepted will be significantly different and much less than an over-represented cohort. So this video isn’t applicable to everyone …. and most info is pretty obvious ….
Yup. Be black, no criminal record, graduate with above a 1.0 gpa and you are set for life.
@@Doug-rv3nr you don't need to be racist about it. It is just a fact and applicable to any under-represented (from a diversity perspective) group like all minority applicants, women, or an applicant from a particular country where very few people apply for admission to these colleges. An over-represented cohort would be Males from India and China. For them this advise would fall short.
@@adityagawhale What's racist about it? It's a fact. Also, Chinese Scholarship Council pays hundreds of millions a year to Ivy League schools to allow more Chinese students to be admitted, so it's not really the same.
@@Doug-rv3nr mentioning - “no criminal record”, and having above “1.0 Gpa” was a bit racist. Also when I mention China and India, the sheer number of people that apply from these countries is the most compared to anyone else. So the size of applicant pool increases a lot and so does the competition. So if you want to admit one Indian student and one Chinese student the possibility of an applicant getting admitted will be far less than say a black person (specially a black US citizen who is a minority and on top of that a soldier). So this guy’s advise is helpful for only similar people which he doesn’t mention.
@@adityagawhale so you're saying only blacks can have a 1.0 gpa and go to jail?
You cracked the code with your skin colour and your race and we all know how nowadays are institution more focussed on diversity than actual credentials.. you competed with people of your race not with everyone
1) Stop projecting.
2) While I assure you that not many people (White, Black, Asian, Latin-X, etc.), have the same credentials or distance traveled as me, the video highlights ways to stand out no matter the credentials.
3) Thank you so much for watching, and I hope life works out for you 🙏🏾 .
Step 1 to getting into an MBA program that you don’t deserve, based on merit (ie GMAT and GPA), to be accepted into:
Be black
Sooo original. Did Ed Blum give you that one?
Being jealous won’t do anyone good. Because it doesn’t matter what you think but what they think.
Y'all Non- black minorities often cheat on exams
Yeah, it for sure wasnt me earning a 3.9 GPA in a masters program in residence while working full time. My track record of leadership and results, playing a D1 sport, and working for a VC fund is also average. My undergrad was also trash, and super easy to get into...and surley there are no black people with higher GPAs and GMAT scores that applied.
DEI...Didnt Earn It.
Nah you know who didn’t earn it? The multitude of WHITE MALE legacies who got in because their daddy made a donation. Also, why is a trailer dweller like you commenting?
I hope your life is fulfilling, God bless and thanks for watching!
