The big B-School dream, now a reality

Getting an MBA degree is not enough, however, getting it from an institute that is respected and revered all over the globe is. This is where General Education comes in.

Armed with a team of MBA graduates from top global B-Schools like Harvard, INSEAD, ISB and HEC, Paris, the organization is committed to providing its students the upper edge to compete against students from all over the globe.

General Education provides assistance in essay editing and interview preparation. It also helps B-school aspirants through a set of comprehensive and proprietary services, which include, but not limited to counseling applicant to identify an optimal set of prospective schools, to apply to, based on his/her profile and future aspirations. MBA Application Essay writing is one of the key facets while applying to any B-school. Applicants are expected to clearly describe their intentions, their post MBA plans, expectation from universities and such in a very elaborate yet specific way. This can be a rather tedious task and often, students aren’t sure of what to write and how. However, this doesn’t mean that they are not capable of expressing their vision or mission on paper.

What General Education does is simply assist the applicant in presenting his application in the best possible manner, keeping in mind all the important points, without making it unnecessary long and boring.
General Education also trains prospective B-school students to prepare for their interviews. What is most interesting about their process is it is conducted over the Internet or voice communication. Their systems are up to date and of unquestionable quality, which is at par with personal communication.

Anoop, Partner, GE reveals his own experience: “The programme is evaluated and set with feedback and inputs from professionals in the field. Many recent graduates from international B-schools come forward and share their experiences with the aspirants. I was looking for help with my application process as a whole and essays in particular, I got to know about a US based firm who were prominently into essay editing, but there charges were around $500 to $1000 per application, which in Indian context I found exorbitant. Something like General Education would have tremendously helped me a lot. I was lucky that I got my essays reviewed with one of my friends (who is now a partner with GE) which fetched admission in University of Michigan (Ross School of Business) and in Cornell University with scholarship.”

While it might seem like a simple job, putting together one essay paper can take up to three weeks. It involves many interactions between the firm and the student, which enables the firm to understand the applicants weaknesses and strengths and finally an essay paper is prepared.

Sharing his own predicaments in the past, Rajit, Partner, General Education & MBA from Harvard Business School, says: “When I was applying to Harvard, I was desperate to get my essays reviewed by someone who had been through the process successfully. It was almost impossible to get hold of an alumnus at that time. I decided to change that and hence joined hands with my partners to start General Education.”

Even while preparing an applicant for the interview with the university, General Education interacts with the students in such a way that their shortcomings are altered to become their strength. Good students need not come pre-packaged with the right things to say. However, they almost always have it in them. All they need is a slight push and encouragement to deal with what’s set before them.
