NC State Jenkins Essays Writing and Editing Support


The MBA application process can be quite challenging at first. Finding a benchmark and evaluating oneself is hard. When I began my application process, within the set of limitation that I was working under, I wasn’t very confident about my chances. Shailesh and Mayank evaluated my profile thoroughly and were very patient in understanding my constraints and requirements. They helped me structure my thoughts and motivated to apply to the better B-Schools. At every stage, they went above and beyond what was required. I never realised when they ceased to be ‘admission consultants’ and became ‘mentors’. Their mentorship helped me, not just with my applications to universities abroad, but also through the application process to Indian schools.”

History

The North Carolina State University’s economics, business and management education dates back to the early 1900s. The University again offered undergraduate degrees in management and accounting post a hiatus, due to the depression-era that continued until the 1970s. The Master of Science in Management program was introduced in 1976. A College of Management was established at NC State due to the efforts led by the team of academic visionaries. The MBA program was first introduced in 2002.

As a part of the MBA program, all students are encouraged to indulge themselves in Global Immersion programs. There are study abroad trips to Beijing, London, Dubai, and Munich planned for the students to help them understand the intricacies of business in an international setting.

The Center for Innovation Management Studies (CIMS) has workshops that train participants to adapt themselves to the requirements of the industry and embrace innovative management approach while resolving business issues.

“GMAT was looking to be a daunting task since I had never taken a computer based test of such a time duration. But the Experts’ advice really worked and took the fear out of my mind. The study material was extremely good as it contains the relevant and the best of all topics from various sources and at a very reasonable rate.Hence the quality of the material far exceeds the cost. AWA template recommended is in sync with what is expected from GMAT takers and covers all aspects of analytical writing evaluators are looking for. All this helped to me score a good 740 with a scaled score of 5.0 in AWA.”
