Hey! Loved your video. I’m planning on applying for mba at Cornell and wanted to ask you how’s the financial aid department for graduate international student? Do they provide any help and if yes then to what extent?

@athena2597 11 ай бұрын

So, for financial aid - you'll have to take a loan from the various student loan organizations in the US. Cornell only offers a scholarships with your admission letter. They don't have any separate scholarships that you can apply for.

Is it important to have work experience after undergrad . Can we apply directly considering all your 3-4 yrs achievements.

@athena2597 3 ай бұрын

Hi, so work experience is necessary because when you’re in classes you need to be able to participate fully. The more work experience you have, the more you can provide insight on case studies and assignments etc.

Hi @Ekta kumar. I will be applying to Cornell for fall 2024. Is there any chance you could guide me with the "fit" and "culture" in Cornell and Ithaca in general as a current student? Thanks :)

@athena2597 7 ай бұрын

Sure, awesome to hear that! One of the main things that Cornell focusses on in terms of fit and culture, is making sure that you are a team player. There is a large sense of community at Cornell. Huge emphasis on making sure that people fit into the community at Cornell. So include that in your essay (based off of your experiences of course!)

Hey ekta what about work exp. is 2.1 exp. will be enough to get admit and how much gmat score will be good fit for program?

@athena2597 9 ай бұрын

There are people here who have just started to do their MBA out of undergrad. But I would recommend some more work experience, in terms of the scores I would look towards the average scores of the schools you want to apply to and score ideally in that range. Hope this helps!

Hello, I got GMAT waiver for 2 year MBA program in Cornell. But I am scared about my application like it will get selected or not..... i will get interview call or it will be kept on waiting list. I really not sure. I have given by best in my application to describe me, my life and my professional life (full time 5 yr work ex in MNC) and i am also managing a youtube channel. Can you please tell me what are the chances of acceptance in my case for admission or for interview ?

@athena2597 3 ай бұрын

Hey, first of all, don’t worry you’re doing a great job! Applying is a really hard thing for a lot of people to do and I’m really glad that you’re trying to apply yourself. Second of all, I think with interviews it’s about your personality more than anything, I can’t tell you for sure what your chances are with the a GMAT waiver and the work experience, but I hope that you do get in. Best of luck! 😀

Awesome video, really helped me gather my thoughts on how to prepare my application for the upcoming cycle! If you don’t mind me asking, what was your GPA? My GRE score is slightly lower than yours but I have a strong GPA (I think) so that would help me access my odds. Congrats on getting in!

@athena2597 Жыл бұрын

So my GPA was a 7.3/10 because I went to a university in India (BITS Pilani). I’m not sure exactly what that would be in a 4.0 scale. According to WES evaluation, it’s about a 3.1 on a 4.0 scale. However, if you feel your GPA is strong but have a low GRE, you should apply! You can also request a GRE waiver if you feel like you’re application is stronger without it. Good luck!

Hi Ekta! I'm currently in the process of applying for Cornell. congratulation on getting in :) do you mind telling me a little bit more about the forte fellowship? did you apply via forte or is it a part of Cornell scholarships?

@athena2597 9 ай бұрын

So, I received the Cornell Forte Fellowship as a part of my admission to Cornell. There was no separate form, I believe they provide you with some amount if you’re a woman and based on your tuition needs.

Hi I'm Utkal. I did my engineering from Odisha University of Technology and Research. It's a state government University. But doesn't fall under category of tier 1 universities. Will it affect my application?

@athena2597 3 ай бұрын

Hey Utkal! Thanks for watching, so the rank of your university is not that important of a factor as compared to the rest of your application. Your short term, long term goals and the story you tell to connect all of these things matter a lot more than the university you went to. Hope this helps!
