Hi,

I'm a current student at Mac and happy to answer any questions you guys might have related to prospects of doing an MBA.
I can't help with immigration, accommodation, other things as I am not qualified to do so.

Cheers,
Sid

I can be reached at mohapats at mcmaster dot ca

About me:

I joined McMaster in Sep 2018. I'm in the co-op program. I have worked a couple of co-ops in financial services and would be graduating this December.

Co-op vs FT:

Co-ops help but only the extent you make the most from it. MBA Co-ops are the exception and if you have decent experience you should back yourself to do well if the economy holds up. All the people that have networked well and made meaningful connections from the FT program have done well for themselves while there ar co-op MBA students who struggle to get FT jobs even after three internships.

The school guides you but at the end of the day, you have to take ownership and decide to put in the work.

I am on gmatclub because of the long weekend and wont be active much. My email or LinkedIn (Sid Mohapatra) is a better place to reach out!

Wish you guys all the best.

Sid

Hey guys,

Just received an update from DeGroote - looks like they are experiencing an extraordinarily large amount of volume of applications and inquiries. Communication of final decisions may be slightly delayed.

I am feeling so anxious

Hey, did you hear back from them? I applied on April 22 and did my Kira Interview on April 26. I'm checking my application status on mosaic but it still says pending :/

I am hoping that you have created a group on GMAT Club.
There is however a wapp group created long ago, you need to check in with the others for it.

Hi,
Congratulations on your offer. Did you have any second interview after the KIRA one? If so, when that was?
