Hi Guys,
Please watch this video. I created this primarily to help applicants with Networking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl3eLca ... 11NF8I7aP1I have added a lot of details for applicants that are not very clear about how to execute the entire networking process.
OH! Some of the questions could be:
1. I am exploring careers in ABC Industry in the XYZ Function. I have seen a lot of companies that visit campus such as A B and C. What is the Alumni presence in these companies? and How does the school help in creating a smooth transition?
2. In order to be a "FUTURE POSITION" in 5 years from now,I have identified some major handicaps such as Blah blah blah. Can you tell me more about how the school will help me address these gaps?
3. I read about the Blah Blah Initiative at Wharton. Can you talk more about how that is relevant to an International Applicant? How will this initiative/Club/etc. help me in meeting my aspirations? ( Research and figure out and make a relevant question)
4. I am applying to both A and B( Put schools in the similar categories- for example- Duke/Darden/Tuck etc. ) . However, it is hard for me build a great understanding simply from the websites. Can you help me understand what factors should I consider when I choose your school ? How are these two very different( A lot of applicants will disagree and will hesitate while asking this question. However, remember, if you put this one across authentically, it will be taken very well. Do some research on some schools in the similar category. You should not come across as someone who has NO IDEA about these programs.
And when you are there, go like a customer. GO LIKE SOMEONE WHO Is keen on exploring what services to BUY. Do not go like somebody who is READY TO MOVE IN and is very keen on creating an IMPRESSION. Be inquisitive. I am not suggesting that creating a strong impression isn't important. Create a strong impression with genuine enquiries.
They are going to ask you "WHY DID YOU PICK US?" in about 2 to 3 months. This is your time to do this research. Watch the video as well. It will help you in execution as well.
GO! Do whatever it takes to get an admit !
