BYU Marriott Sauder Essays Writing and Editing Support


I reached out to experts global after securing a decent score on the GMAT. 680 was not a great score if you are from India. However, I was confident that with the right kind of help I will be able to get into my target schools. I spoke to Shailesh Otari over the phone and over a couple of weeks, we came to a consensus regarding my target schools. I had given extensive information about my career plan as well as my background to Shailesh. I recieved my essays on time for the first deadline for all the schools. The essays were simple, elegant and bang on the money. They were simply great. I had applied to BYU Marriott, Sauder UBC , Katz and Great Lakes. I was delighted to get an interview call from all the schools that I applied to. Just when I thought the difficult part was over, I realized that the interview requires meticulous preparation as well. Once again Mr.Shailesh was instrumental in helping me pick the right stories and present them in the best way possible in front of the adcom. I grew in confidence as my second mock interview was completed. Two months later, I am happy to let you guys know that I have an admit from 3 out of 4 schools that I have applied. And I also received a 2000$ scholarship from Sauder and a 3500$ scholarship from BYU Marriott. Even though the interview pattern was different for the school in Canada, the school in the US and also the one in India, I was able to handle them well and secure a seat.

History

The Brigham Young Academy was established on Oct. 16, 1875. After facing a series of setbacks and financial crisis, the Academy moved to its new campus on University Avenue in 1891. In 1903, the academy acquired its official name Brigham Young University. BYU bought 17 acres of land from Provo called Temple Hill in 1904, but construction for the first building Karl G. Maeser Memorial started only in 1909. Franklin S. Harris was appointed the University’s first president in 1921. Dallin H. Oaks proposed plans for a new School of Management when he became the President. The MBA program was added in the year 1961.

Before the beginning of summer internships, students indulge themselves in social venture consulting projects, where they implement their skills in social enterprises, thus aiding them in serving their clients better. Students have worked with social enterprises serving in the micro-business, health, education and employment streams belonging to countries such as Ghana, Mexico and Paraguay. Students travelled to these countries and developed their understanding on economic self reliance through this experience.

The excerpt of my B-School journey and story, and the important role played by Expert’s Global:- When I was sitting on the couch of Expert’s Global office, more than a year ago, reading various successful stories mentored by Experts, I dreamed of sharing my own story someday and imagined how it would be for me. Now that I get the chance to share it, I am quite thrilled. The journey was long, tiresome and full of struggles, yet the learning was subliminal. Expert’s Global were the only people I approached after reading various reviews online. I took the complete package and started with the GMAT preparation, then came the applications, interviews and finally the decision of which school to go to and they guided me through each of these steps. During the GMAT preparation part, I received complete study material, plenty of practice questions and a proper schedule. There are also a good number of mock tests that really give the feel of CAT test such as GMAT so when THE DAY arrives you will feel like you know everything about it. I was preparing with full zeal but then I got promoted, which showed a lot on my preparation. My scores stopped increasing and I decided to take the test. My GMAT score was not exceptional (a lousy 680) so I knew I needed strong essays and a nicely built profile (time to thank the promotion) and Shailesh Sir proved to be a gem on this front-I remember emailing him at 2;30 in the morning on the day of my first application and received immediate response and support. Such efforts go far beyond and ultimately it shows on your results. Experts advised me to apply to 11 schools, which I did, however I could not complete 2 applications so I ended up applying to 9 schools. Out of these I received interview calls from 6 schools namely Foster, ND Mendoza, Mason, GWU, Katz and BYU. I got admits from 3 of these schools, 2 with good scholarships: Foster did not offer any scholarship. My final call was between GWU and BYU. GWU offered me $60K scholarship so tuition for me was less than BYU. Though BYU does not offer scholarships that easily (I have asked a few other admits) but again Shailesh Sir insisted that I ask for a scholarship, so I did. And I got a scholarship. It was great! That made my decision easier, I guess. BYU was a clear win (though in the start, I was so confused). In my opinion the best thing about Experts is that they prepare you to do, instead of doing it themselves-it kind of warms you up for the longer run 😉
