TESTIMONIALS

After nailing GMAT, I thought I can walk just walk into any B-school I desired. All this was till I came across the rigorous and mysterious admission processes followed by the top schools. I was lost for advice on the steps that I need to follow to successfully navigate through this arduous journey. This is when, Experts' Global stepped in. My interactions with them helped me clearly understand the fact that it takes more than a good GMAT score to get into a top B-school.

I came in contact with Mayank Srivastava at Experts Global after I scored 720 on my GMAT in my first attempt seeking guidance for my journey ahead from there as I had no idea about which school to apply , which program is best for me , should I retake the GMAT and improve my Quant percentile and other millions of questions like these.At first , I thought that I will get all these answers all by myself and google and I was such a strong believer of this that I made fun of my friends who got paid consultancy seeking help in their MBA application journey last year .Then I realised that you can convince yourself of anything with data on internet , If you start a search to find that Android is better than IOS – you will definitely get convincing data to support the fact and if you start the search to find the opposite you will get equally compelling proof.Same applied for the search relating to schools , programs etc. , its just what you want to believe you can get data or stats to convince yourself then in such a scenario how do you actually get answers??? That is where I got all the help from Shailesh who was my mentor at Experts Global . He has himself been through this journey and helped so many students that he always knows what is best for you and stupid questions are going on in your mind.He helped me shortlist colleges according to my previous work /Gmat score/future ambitions /chances of getting in among various other factors .One of the most important things that he helped me with was to make me understand what are the things in my work journey or for that matter my journey of life till now that I should highlight in my Essays / interviews etc so that my personality is actually communicated to the Addmission committee of the schools and believe me the things I thought were completely irrelevant for my profile became the highlight of my profile when their importance was explained to me by Shailesh.He helped me with mock interviews pointing out my weaknesses , my strengths ,what I am doing wrong ,what I am not doing and should be doing , tiny details which you can never prepare without professional help.He was always prompt in replying to my queries in his own humorous ways which always made me feel stupid to have asked the same but he always encouraged to ask them no matter how many times.Finally , I got into few schools of my choice and decided on joining Questrom School Of Business ,Boston University with approx 80% tuition Scholarship for which I was ready to pay the whole fees and was one of my first choices.The point from where you realize you want to start preparing for GMAT to the point of actually joining a B-School is a beautiful journey full of adventures , excitement , success , failures , late nights , early mornings , restlessness , anxiety , waiting , bad information , good information and I can go on but you definitely need an expert to guide you through it and I found mine in Shailesh and Experts Global Team.Although I am not done with him and I will continue to extract info and advise from him for all my life but his role in my MBA journey cannot be missed.SO , I recommend everyone for his excellent mentoring services.Cheers Guys!

History

The Carnegie Mellon University was founded in 1900 by industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie as the Carnegie Technical School, and became the Carnegie Institute of Technology (Carnegie Tech) in 1912. In 1946, economist George Bach was hired by Carnegie Tech to restart the school’s economics department. In 1967, Carnegie Tech merged with Mellon Institute to become Carnegie Mellon University. William Larmier Mellon’s $6 million fund led to the establishment of the school and Bach became the first dean. Tepper School pioneered the use of management science based on quantitative models and an analytical approach when all other business schools were using traditional models and theories like the case method approach.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Tepper School of business is:
  • to create and disseminate new knowledge through research and education that advances the practice of business, and enhances our understanding of the role of business in society;
  • to serve our students by teaching them critical thinking; problem solving and leadership skills; and the value of a commitment to excellence, ethical behavior and respect for one another;
  • to pursue the advantages provided by a diverse and relatively small university community that is open to the exchange of ideas and where discovery, creativity and personal and professional development can flourish; and
  • to contribute to the broader educational and research missions of Carnegie Mellon by pushing back the frontiers of knowledge in economics, and by achieving excellence in undergraduate business and economics education.

Core Strengths of the School

The Tepper MBA focuses on building the leadership and analytical skills of the students with the intention to evolve them into better decision-makers for the future. Hence, there is immense importance given to leadership and strategic analytics at Tepper, as the School aims to equip the students with relevant knowledge and skills to solve complex business challenges.

Students are given access to analytical tools for economic understanding, optimization, predictive and prescriptive modeling that enhances their strategic analytical capabilities, thus, equipping them to respond to complex and uncertain business scenarios. The two-year MBA course is different from various other business schools, as it expects the students to gain expertise in core management fundamentals like economics, finance, operations and quantitative analysis in the first year before they choose their electives. Due to such a course structure, Tepper students carry an integrated view of business and are highly sought after for their strategic abilities in analytical frameworks and decision-making skills in complex business scenarios.

Strategic Management of the enterprise is a course where students work alongside A.T. Kearney clients to address issues across varied management disciplines such as strategy, operations, technology and marketing spanning diverse industries. The four-week Germany Study Abroad experience helps the students explore the European economic integration, competing European markets and operations management in Europe. The four-week Asia Study Abroad course is a chance for the students to delve into areas such as Sino-Us taxation comparison, multinational companies of China and supply chain management in China.

The student community at Tepper comprises of students who hail from 35 different countries and belong to diverse set of industries thus, bringing a cross-cultural and diverse perspective on business issues. The Global Treks to China, Dubai, Japan, India, Israel, Latin America, etc. in the months of January and March provide the necessary exposure to the international management practice and trends.

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.”
