Upcoming B-School Application Webinar

Upcoming B-School Application Webinar GMAT MBA Admissions Blog The GMAT is an important part of applying to business school, but it is one of many dimensions admissions committees will look at. To a greater degree than law school or medical school, the business school application puts a very large premium on the holistic “story” of each applicant. For example, a sliding scale of GPA vs. LSAT score, adjusted for undergraduate school and major, essentially determines your law school admissions chances). However, while a 90th percentile GMAT score is very helpful in getting into a top 20 business school, a poor story can really hurt your chances. On the other hand, a low GMAT score with a strong story can and does frequently result in admissions offers. Questions like the following are explicitly or implicitly asked in applications to top business schools: Why do you want an MBA? What do you want to learn while there? Why? What are you going to focus on while getting the MBA? Where do you see yourself in five years? How will the MBA help you get there? How can you explain your lack of experience/low GPA/low GMAT/ etc.? It’s important to have strong, clear answers to these questions. While MyGuru focuses on delivering best-in-class 1-1 private GMAT tutoring, we know students ultimately end up grappling with the above questions. That’s why we refer them to Stacy Blackman Consulting for GMAT admissions advice. Join Stacy Blackman Consulting for an insightful conversation led by an ex-admissions officer on their team. They'll share how applicant profiles are reviewed, and answer your questions during this interactive webinar on July 10, 2013, at 5 p.m. Pacific. Attendees will receive exclusive offers from Stacy Blackman Consulting and some of their partners. Space is limited, and a password is required, so please pre-register for the event here to receive the event password and all of the details: stacyblackman.webex.com. The title of the webinar is Inside the Black Box - an insider's perspective on how candidates are REALLY evaluated and it will address, as the name implies, how candidates for spots at top business schools are evaluated by those schools. You’ll gain valuable insights to help you craft your personal “story” and improve your business school application. hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, 'f4c396bf-a22d-46de-be49-d9dc8b33eca8', {});

6 Ways to Take Initiative in Your Internship

6 Ways to Take Initiative in Your Internship Photo Via: https://d3irk3g7luh32r.cloudfront.net Internships are an essential part of gaining experience prior to entering the workforce. In fact, more often than not, your internship experience can set you apart from other recent graduates seeking the same employment opportunities as you. But how do you leverage these internships in order to benefit you? And, more specifically, how can you take initiative in your internship to ensure your experience is beneficial to your future goals? Here are six ways you can take initiative in your internship in order to benefit you down the road in your career goals. 1. Ask questions It’s a common habit for college students to fear asking for help. However, asking questions is easily one of the best ways to learn. While it may not sound like asking for help is taking initiative, you’re wrong. Asking for help not only demonstrates your dedication to doing things correctly, it also shows a level of self-awareness that not everyone has. When you’re able to acknowledge your own shortcomings and learn from them, you’re bound to be successful, both now and in the future. 2. Network Networking now is one of the most important things you can do. Networking is going to set you up for success in the future when it comes time to apply for positions. If your internship allows you to meet with people in the industry you want to work in, use that to your advantage. Meet as many people as you can, talk with them, pick their brains. The more information you can get from these professionals, the more prepared you’re going to be when it comes to your job search. 3. Think outside of the box While you definitely want to perform tasks as your internship manager tells you, it helps to do a little more than that as well. For example, if you see there’s an easier way to do something, say something. Your manager will be thankful for the help and will certainly appreciate your creativity. This is going to set you apart now and in the future, so think outside the box as often as possible. Don’t limit yourself to what you already know or what you’ve been taught, think beyond that and you’ll definitely be successful. 4. Be proactive Again, simply doing what youre told is important, but not everything. If you know that a task is coming up and you have time to spare, get started on it. If you see something that needs to be done, do it. Obviously, you don’t want to perform outside of your role (and if you’re unsure if you should do something, always ask), but being proactive and doing things before they are assigned shows great initiative and will make an impression on your manager, without a doubt. 5. Volunteer Sometimes, you’re sharing an internship with a few other students or you have a limited amount of responsibilities. However, if there’s ever an opportunity to volunteer for hours or for an assignment etc., take it! Don’t sit back and don’t put your social life before your internship. If there’s an opportunity for you to take, volunteer. This will show your manager that you’re dedicated, motivated and, most importantly, truly interested. Before long, you could be their go-to student for tasks, which will help you to gain experience and exposure in your chosen career path. 6. Show your passion This is easily the most important component on this list. When you’re looking to begin a career in a given industry, if an employer doesn’t believe you’re truly interested, they’re going to pass on your resume every time. Showing your passion for your career choice is an essential part of your job search, and it all begins with your internship experience. Set yourself apart from the competition by showing your passion every day. You can do this by showing up early, volunteering for projects, asking for side work; really, you should be doing anything and everything in your power to show your manager this is what you want to do. Not only that, but you’ll also want to show that you’re capable of doing it and that you can be successful. Again, internships are an extremely important component of your college experience. In addition to your coursework, internships will prepare you for your chosen career path and provide you that hands-on experience you may not be getting elsewhere. That being said, an internship is entirely what you make of it, so it’s important to not only obtain an internship but to leverage the position to your advantage. This means that you should be taking initiative and really using your internship to create future opportunities for yourself in your chosen career path. For that reason, follow the above six tips and your internship is sure to be the most beneficial for you, both now and down the road!

4 College Prep Tips From an Irvine Admissions Consultant

4 College Prep Tips From an Irvine Admissions Consultant College Prep Craziness High school used to be divided into four years: 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. These days, it seems as if high school is broken up into two different subsets: Regular high school and college prep. Unfortunately, sometimes these two phases overlap. Students who dont think about college at all until the 11th grade may find that their college prep experience is exhausting (READ: 8 Reasons Applicants Fail to Get Into The College of Their Choice). I dont encourage students to think about one year as simply a preparation for the next, each year should be enjoyed for what it is. However, there are a few things that can make the college prep that occurs in the 11th and 12th grade a little bit easier.                             1. Think about college in a general sense It is not necessary for students to think about the specifics of the exact university that they wish to attend in their sophomore year (with the exception of Ivy League hopefuls) but it is important to think about college in general. Do you want a big city or a small town? Do you want a two-year degree or a four-year degree? A general major, such as communications or business can lead to a number of different career options while a specific major, such as pre-med, will lead to one specific profession. Thinking about being in college as a sophomore can help make certain decisions easier throughout the college prep craziness (READ: 5 Things to do Before You Go Away to College). Pick out 5 to 10 colleges or universities that seem interesting and research what you would need to achieve in order to qualify for admission. Knowing a little bit about what your next two years will be like will make them less daunting. For example, would you like to attend a small private school that focuses on community service and personal experience or would you like to attend a large university that stresses the importance of cracking in 1800 on the SAT? 2. Get test prep out of the way I cant stress this advice enough. Junior and senior year is an absolutely crazy time to try and squeeze in the SAT; however, this is when 95% of students choose to tackle these exams for the first time. Take an SAT course or arrange for private tutoring this summer after your sophomore year and take the exam the fall of your junior year at the latest. If you are able to take the exam before that then do so. Get it done so you can have some fun. 3. Take one, and only one, AP class Its not advisable to attempt to take two or three AP classes your sophomore year. Remember, this is college-level work and most AP teachers will not cut you slack for being in the 10th grade, nor should they. However, taking one AP class can help you prep for the work that youll be doing in your junior and senior year.   Try to pick a class that you have at least some interest in as it will make the studying less difficult. Some students will have many choices while others will only have two or three depending on the school or district that they attend (READ; Building Vocabulary: Test Prep Edition). 4. Get a summer job Working in retail or food service is a fantastic way to learn discipline, promptness, and the value of a dollar. Students who work as little as 10 hours a week report that they are able to focus on their studies more when the school year starts back up. Many employers hire students as soon as they turn 16 and will train somebody who hasnt worked in the past. An honest day’s work is a great way to acquire the discipline and concentration needed to survive the college prep craziness that will start the first day of junior year.

7 reasons you should volunteer to teach English abroad

7 reasons you should volunteer to teach English abroad Given that it’s so easy to make money teaching English abroad, you may be wondering why anybody would decide to volunteer to teach English for free. Believe it or not, there are actually a lot of fantastic reasons for taking a volunteer TEFL position abroad. Whether you want to make the world a better place or you just want to give your resume a boost in the form of international work experience, volunteering to teach English abroad comes with a ton of great benefits. So let’s take a look at just a few of the reasons you should consider teaching English as a volunteer. 1. You’ll get to know (and even live with) the locals. Traveling is made a thousand times better if you immerse yourself in the local culture. But the most interaction most people have with the locals when they travel is ordering room service at their hotel! When you volunteer to teach English abroad, however, you’ll often be staying with a family. That means you are completely immersed in their way of life, from being able to see how traditional meals are made to what are the most discussed topics around the dinner table. Even if your volunteer position doesn’t include a homestay, you’ll find that your students will be eager to teach you everything they can about their country. 2. You’ll get a chance to learn the local language. For a lot of ESL teachers, volunteering isn’t only an opportunity to teach English but also a way for them to learn a new language. Hands down the best way to learn a language is by speaking it and hearing it from when you wake up to the minute you go to sleep. If your volunteer ESL job includes a homestay, you will be surrounded by the local language all the time. So while you’re imparting your knowledge of English on your hosts, they are giving you the opportunity to gain an invaluable new skill in return. 3. You’ll get to explore places you wouldn’t otherwise see. While it is certainly true that you can make a very good living teaching English overseas, you’ll find that paid ESL positions are limited to only handful of countries (most of which are in East Asia or the Middle East). If you really want to teach anywhere in the world, volunteering will open up a huge range of possibilities. Have you ever dreamed of seeing the Serengeti in Africa? What about trekking through the Amazon in South America? Or perhaps waking up surrounded by the mighty Himalayas in Nepal? Finding paid ESL teaching positions in all of those places is either difficult or almost impossible, but if you are open to volunteering then you’ll be able to go to all these places (and more!). Even Europe, which is usually very difficult for North Americans and non-EU citizens to find paid ESL work in because of visa rules becomes a possibility if you are volunteering. Volunteer positions at summer camps in places like Italy and Spain, for example, are especially popular. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. 4. You’ll have more free time to explore in the first place. When you take a paid ESL position in a place like Japan or South Korea, you will be expected to treat it like a job rather than a vacation. After all, the school you work for is a business and you are their employee, so you’d better take your responsibilities seriously! That means you may end up working long hours and only have time to explore your new home-away-from-home in the evenings or on the weekends. Many volunteer positions require you to put in a much lower time commitment, often less than 20 hours per week. While you still need to take the job seriously, you will often find you have a ton of time to go off and explore whatever country you happen to be in. 5. You’ll improve your teaching skills. Even if you plan on making TEFL a career or at least doing it as a paid job at some point, volunteering as an English teacher still makes a lot of sense. For one, experience, whether paid or unpaid, is invaluable to becoming a better teacher. Future employers love candidates who already know what it is like to stand in front a classroom and prepare a full lesson plan. Secondly, many paid TEFL positions have minimum qualifications that you may not yet meet, such as TEFL certification or degree/diploma requirements. A lot of volunteer ESL positions are part of TEFL certification courses, so you’ll get experience and a TEFL certificate at the end of your experience. Even if your volunteer position doesn’t land you the qualifications you need for a paid job, it will still allow you to test the waters and decide if ESL is something you want to seriously commit to later on. 6. It’s easier to find short-term contracts. Speaking of commitment, another great benefit of volunteering as an English teacher is that the contracts tend to be a lot more flexible. Paid ESL jobs often (although not always) expect a minimum one-year commitment, especially if your flights are being paid for by the school. But a year is a huge commitment for most of us, which makes a lot of paid ESL jobs unrealistic. Volunteer teaching jobs overseas can be found for all lengths of time, from a few days to an entire summer. Read this: How to find a short-term job teaching English abroad 7. You’ll make a tangible difference in peoples’ lives. Last, but certainly not least, volunteering to teach English overseas is an unbeatable opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the world. English is a skill that billions of people want because they know it can unlock massive economic opportunities for them. Unfortunately, not everybody can afford the luxury of hiring a private tutor or attending expensive classes to help them get the invaluable legup that English provides. When you help somebody learn English you really are helping them improve their lives in a meaningful way. In most cases, you’ll also be working with local teachers and your knowledge of English will help them improve their own classroom lessons long after you leave. Sold?
