TESTIMONIALS

I came to Experts' seeking help on my applications with 680 on GMAT. It was September and I did not have time to improve my score. However, I was guided to prepare for GMAT as the help from Experts' eased the applications burden on me. While I achieved a 750 on GMAT with the Experts' Global Guidance Program, my applications were also almost completed. I still applied everywhere in Round-1 and achieved multiple admits with great scholarships!

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 😉 In all, I think it was a tremendous experience and without the support I received, it would have been much difficult and far less fertile! I heartily thank the entire experts team for their guidance and support. Thumbs up!

History

Northwestern University was founded in 1851 to meet the educational requirements of the Northwestern Territory namely the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and parts of Minnesota. The University officially opened its doors in 1855. The School of Commerce opened in 1908 due to the proposal initiated by Northwestern President Edmund Janes James. The MBA program was launched in 1920 and over 400 students enrolled for it. The School of Commerce restructured its undergraduate program in 1942 by expanding it from a two-year program to a four-year program. The School of Commerce became the School of Business Administration and the Graduate Commerce Division became the Graduate School of Business Administration in 1956. The John L. and Helen Kellogg foundation donated $10million to the school in 1979 and the School was, therefore, renamed as J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Northwestern University Division of Student Affairs is to educate students, engage the community, and enrich the Northwestern experience.

Core Strengths of the School

The Kellogg MBA program aims to transform the students into thought leaders, who can develop deep insights into their organizations and markets, identify and leverage upon the opportunities, and inspire new kinds of growth. Students immerse themselves into the unique curriculum of the program that encourages them to try new things and challenge conventional thinking. The program has been structured and designed to equip the students with relevant knowledge and skills to address the complex business challenges that require them to understand the interdependency of the various functional disciplines of business. Students gain solid grounding on the fundamentals of business management and acquire mastery in multiple disciplines of business, thus evolving themselves into well-rounded managers who can view a problem from multiple perspectives. Apart from developing the management and leadership skills of the students, a range of elective courses in the second year prepare the students for a challenging career ahead in their areas of interests. Kellogg has a new cross-disciplinary approach to teaching with four strategic initiatives: Architectures of Collaboration Initiative, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Initiative, Markets and Customers Initiative and Public-Private Interface Initiative. The Architectures of Collaboration Initiative teaches the students to leverage upon their professional networks to resolve bottlenecks. The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Initiative encourages the students to come up with new ideas to create value. The Markets and Customers Initiative draws insights into customer needs and experiences to help business leaders create and reinvent markets. The Public-Private Interface Initiative teaches the students to strike a balance between business and policy.

Uniqueness in MBA Pedagogy

Experiential learning opportunities in the form of special projects, labs and courses are provided to the students in order to expose them to the real-world business problems. The Asset Management Practicum allows the students to take on the role of industry analysts, traders, and portfolio managers, and manage the School’s portfolio. Students can enroll themselves for a quarter-long internship opportunity at a local or national private equity firm through the Buyout Lab experiential learning course. A quarter-long internship opportunity provided by Venture Lab offers two options to the students –one that exposes the students to the working of venture capital firms and the other that involves assisting incubated startups. The interdisciplinary NUvention course conducted by the Farley Center for Entrepreneurship + Innovation throws light on entrepreneurial business concepts such as social impact, medical innovations, energy, web, analytics and nanotechnology. Students get first-hand experience of selling products online by creating online stores with enterprise e-commerce software through the Digital Marketing and Commerce course. Students who dream for an entrepreneurial career can enroll for the New Venture Course Series that comprises of New Venture Discovery, New Venture Launch and New Venture Development. New Venture Discovery allows the students to identify a problem that the market is facing and translate it into viable business concepts. The New Venture Development supports the students who want to start a new venture and already have a business concept in place. New Venture Launch is for students who have already tested their business concepts for market-fitness and want to now fine-tune their business model. Students can serve on the board of non-profit organizations through the Kellogg Board Fellows program and make valuable contributions towards the progress of the organization.

Kellogg offers the widest range of global opportunities for the students to deepen their understanding on international business. At the International Growth Lab, students team up with students from Barcelona and Hong Kong to develop market-based growth strategies for international organizations. Global Initiatives in Management is a survey course where students lead trips to popular destinations like Brazil, China, India, etc. and work on an independent research topic. Students get the chance to liaise with management teams of international companies to solve real world business challenges through Global Experiential Learning projects. The International Field Projects have given the students the opportunity to explore the local markets of India and Africa and come up with new business models, products and services.

I was looking only for direction for my essays from expert’s global when i signed up with them. Once i did sign up they gave me this direction in the form of a self assessment document which would help them understand me & my perspective better. This was all I needed from them and the self introspection inspired me to write my own MBA admission essays. My mentor did write me some essays. They were written well and answered every question asked but were definitely run-of-the-mill. My interaction with my mentor was at a minimum because I had already understood what I wanted. That being said, I have to credit Expert’s Global for pushing me to self introspect (with the self assessment document) myself which led me to join my dream school, Babson College.
