The big B-School dream, now a reality
Getting an MBA degree is not
enough, however, getting it from an institute that is
respected and revered all over the globe is. This is where
General Education comes in.
Armed with a team of MBA
graduates from top global B-Schools like Harvard, INSEAD, ISB
and HEC, Paris, the organization is committed to providing its
students the upper edge to compete against students from all
over the globe.
General Education provides assistance
in essay editing and interview preparation. It also helps
B-school aspirants through a set of comprehensive and
proprietary services, which include, but not limited to
counseling applicant to identify an optimal set of prospective
schools, to apply to, based on his/her profile and future
aspirations. MBA Application Essay writing is one of the key
facets while applying to any B-school. Applicants are expected
to clearly describe their intentions, their post MBA plans,
expectation from universities and such in a very elaborate yet
specific way. This can be a rather tedious task and often,
students aren't sure of what to write and how. However, this
doesn't mean that they are not capable of expressing their
vision or mission on paper.
What General Education
does is simply assist the applicant in presenting his
application in the best possible manner, keeping in mind all
the important points, without making it unnecessary long and
boring. General Education also trains prospective B-school
students to prepare for their interviews. What is most
interesting about their process is it is conducted over the
Internet or voice communication. Their systems are up to date
and of unquestionable quality, which is at par with personal
communication.
Anoop, Partner, GE reveals his own
experience: "The programme is evaluated and set with feedback
and inputs from professionals in the field. Many recent
graduates from international B-schools come forward and share
their experiences with the aspirants. I was looking for help
with my application process as a whole and essays in
particular, I got to know about a US based firm who were
prominently into essay editing, but there charges were around
$500 to $1000 per application, which in Indian context I found
exorbitant. Something like General Education would have
tremendously helped me a lot. I was lucky that I got my essays
reviewed with one of my friends (who is now a partner with GE)
which fetched admission in University of Michigan (Ross School
of Business) and in Cornell University with
scholarship."
While it might seem like a simple job,
putting together one essay paper can take up to three weeks.
It involves many interactions between the firm and the
student, which enables the firm to understand the applicants
weaknesses and strengths and finally an essay paper is
prepared.
Sharing his own predicaments in the past,
Rajit, Partner, General Education & MBA from Harvard
Business School, says: "When I was applying to Harvard, I was
desperate to get my essays reviewed by someone who had been
through the process successfully. It was almost impossible to
get hold of an alumnus at that time. I decided to change that
and hence joined hands with my partners to start General
Education."
Even while preparing an applicant for the
interview with the university, General Education interacts
with the students in such a way that their shortcomings are
altered to become their strength. Good students need not come
pre-packaged with the right things to say. However, they
almost always have it in them. All they need is a slight push
and encouragement to deal with what's set before them.
