Getting into a Top Ten Business School - An Introduction

Getting into a Top Ten Business School - An Introduction GMAT MBA Admissions Blog Applying to business schools is a daunting exercise. For many of you, this may be the first time you come in contact with extreme competition. By the time you are contemplating business school, you will have already been successful in your career â€" graduated from high school with stellar grades, landed in a top-tier undergrad program, and got the highest paying jobs out of college! However, in most cases, you were the big fish in a small pond compared to what you are going to encounter while applying and studying in business school (think Lake Michigan vs. Pacific Ocean). Many of you will experience failure for the first time as in not getting into your top choice school - in no way this is a reflection of your capabilities, but is purely a numbers game â€" the total openings in all elite schools combined is miniscule compared to the number of applicants! This is the first in a series of articles where we will de-mystify the entire application process and share with you the tools that will enable you to succeed. The same tools will help you succeed during business school and also your career! First, let’s distill what we mean by the APPLICATION PROCESS. Is’nt it just taking the GMAT, filling out a few forms, writing a few essays and voila!... you get admitted to Harvard? You could not be more wrong!! It all starts with understanding what you want to do in your career, what critical skills gap that you currently have, which school will help you bridge that gap, and how do you successfully get into that school. While most of us (including yours truly) focus on how to successfully get into a school, we do not pay enough attention to the other aspects which strangely enough is the “magic” that helps you land in the right school. So, in other words, the APPLICATION PROCESS broadly has the following steps: Introspection and truthful self-assessment Identify your “personal narrative” Identifying and selecting the school(s) Preparing the application package (GMAT, essays, etc.) Finalizing the school to attend (for all the lucky ones who will have multiple admissions) In a perfect world, going through the above steps will help you get into a right school. But, we need to be pragmatic and smart about b-schools. After all, we do not have all the time in the world and need to move on with life. We will be sharing with you here on how to achieve your goals without compromising on the integrity of the above approachWith regards to planning and timing, you will need to start approximately 2 years in advance to the start of the school term. i.e., if you need to start your MBA in August 2014, you should begin your self assessment and school selection (steps a b) by mid 2012! You will be taking the GMAT in early 2013 and begin preparing the application packages to submit by late 2013. It is a long drawn out process!! In future posts, we will dive into each of the five steps discussed above.

Back-To-School 4 Ways to Help Your Kids Adjust - TutorNerds

Back-To-School 4 Ways to Help Your Kids Adjust - TutorNerds Four Ways Parents Can Help Their Kids With Back-To-School Four Ways Parents Can Help Their Kids With Back-To-School Some parents are happy to see their kids head back to school, while others might get a little sentimental. Either way, every parent wishes for their kids to do well in school. After a long summer, many students are a bit rusty. They’ve been out of the classroom and have adjusted to a summer schedule. Now it’s time to get back on a routine and stay focused. The good news is that parents can help their kids adjust back to school life. Here are four tips from a private Los Angeles tutor to get you started! 1. Set a Schedule at Home For many, school schedules are much different from the summer schedule. Late nights, few responsibilities, lunch at different times each day. In other words, summer is a bit more chill, which is why it’s often hard for students to adjust back to a daily schedule where meals, classes, and after-school activities happen at the same time every day. Odds are it will take a week or two to adjust, so don’t rush the process. You can do your part at home by sticking to a schedule of when you wake your kids up, when you eat dinner after class, and an allotted homework hour helps them stay on track. 2. Encourage Your Kids to Be Vocal in Class Too many students fall behind in their studies because they are either too embarrassed or shy to speak up and say they need help. Most teachers are more than happy to go over something again or explain differently, but they won’t do it unless you say something. Telling your kids that it’s okay to ask for clarification or extra help will set them up for success. 3. Book a Private Tutor We’ve said this before, and we will repeat it, don’t wait until your first report card or exam to find out you need a tutor. Tutoring builds confidence, establishes effective study habits, and helps kids learn in their own way. The best thing you can do is to book a private Los Angeles tutor before you start failing tests and falling behind. If your kid struggled in math or science last year, give them the confidence to improve by booking a private in-home tutor from the first day of class. Our experienced Los Angeles tutors work around your schedule and are available seven days a week. How convenient is that? Call us today to book your tutor. 4. Talk to Your Kids About School Ask your kids about what they learned in class that day; be curious and ask a lot of questions. If they only seem to talk about a subject they enjoy, ask them about the others and how they feel they are doing. When your kid summarizes what they learned in class, it helps with their mastery of the topic. The more they talk about it, the more they will remember what they learned and will appreciate your interests in their day. This dinner conversation is also an excellent opportunity for you to take notice of a class they might be struggling in and get them help before they fall too far behind. Dont wait until your first report card to learn you need a private Los Angeles tutor! Call TutorNerds today. All blog entries, with the exception of guest bloggers, are written by Tutor Nerds.

Diet starts on Monday

Diet starts on Monday Raise your hand those who feel like a whale the day after Thanksgiving. I bet quite a few of you know what I am talking about ?? Thanksgiving is customary celebrated around the rich and abundant table. And, of course, Thanksgiving isnt Thanksgiving unless we  end up on the couch in a deep, sometimes painful food coma. Its difficult not to overeat when there are  so many  delicious dishes on the table. Almost everyone  feels overly stuffed and bloated the day after Thanksgiving.  Not a pleasant feeling but quite manageable with some simple techniques. For instance, I drink  cup of cumin and cardamon tea  right after the main meal and  take some triphala  before I  go  to bed. Also I have decided to start my diet on  Monday. Im going to use some advice  from the best Fitness tutors  and Nutrition tutors on TutorZ. I want to get in shape for  Christmas ?? Have a great week!

Attention Span is the Key to Effective Learning - ALOHA Mind Math

Attention Span is the Key to Effective Learning 1 Like Concentration is Crucial A child’s attention span is a very important factor in the learning process. The amount of time a child spends listening and understanding the teacher affects how much he or she has taken from the lesson. Hyperactivity is one of the biggest enemies of good concentration the other is the environment. If a child is not in the mood for studying, he or she will sit idly and daydream or talk and disrupt the rest of the class. A short attention span has little to do with your child and more to do with their surroundings. A kids attention in the classroom will affect their grades A good learning environment is vital; it creates an atmosphere that places children in the right mind-set to study and improves concentration levels. If a few kids in the class pay attention and respond positively, it catches on to the rest of the class. The average attention span of a seven year old is 14-25 minutes and increases by 2-5 minutes every year. It is important that teachers know this, so they can plan each class accordingly and teach the most important part of the lesson first. Three Things You Can Try at Home The development of your child is the most important thing. If you are worried about your child’s attentiveness in the classroom, here are few things you can try at home. Set goals for practice. E.g. Read for 30 minutes without a break. Play games and activities that require concentration. E.g. Crosswords, word searches. Practice deep breathing to improve focus. ALOHA Helps The activity section of the ALOHA Newsletter is a great way for you to sit with your kids and help them improve their attention span.
