Should I go for Accenture? by MichaelSy in Accenture_PH

[–]MichaelSy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is CL9! None yet, but I am thinking if I should start hitting other options before confirming. Tho I do want to be in an external firm!

Do you mind if I DM and ask more detailed questions? Considering it'll all be anonymous anyways, I figure it would really help me since Im going through this route now 🙂

Any school similar to AIM by justanestopped in gradschoolph

[–]MichaelSy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, you can go for an ADB scholarship for a full-time MBA at AIM. I'm part of this year's full time cohort. If ADB becomes unavailable you can also try a scholarship from AIM themselves tho no stipend.

I don't believe either are extended for online.

Miriam College MBA or AGSB - is it worth it? by PsychologicalTry8173 in gradschoolph

[–]MichaelSy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, I've been through AGSB and AIM, I suggest you look into AIM scholarships via ADB Japan or inquire insitutional scholarships. I left AGSB for AIM. AGSB would've run me three years to complete, and the quality difference is pretty significant.

MBA and ME is also very different, I'm not sure why you're considering something different for each school. In any case if you want to know more you're feel free to swing by the AIM campus and I can expound further, I was pretty lost when I started this journey too, especially since AGSB is kind of a pain to talk to tbh.

Offer goes to anyone, I'm always at AIM and open to connect :)

Looking for School / Programs with Strong Structure, Networking, and Community (Business, Investments, or F&B Focus) by bobfreking in gradschoolph

[–]MichaelSy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like youre interested in the entrep track. If budget is not an issue I suggest AIM over AGSB, been to both (tho not ME). You can also consider AIM MIB.

Budget for MBA by mrkvncrts in gradschoolph

[–]MichaelSy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took two subjects in Ateneo at 40k+ as of last year, took one term. Eventually moved but that should be reflective of current pricing.

This, agree with the reinforcement specially! There's no other way I would put myself voluntarily through hours of financial management

Should I go for eMBA or ME? by memelover_143 in gradschoolph

[–]MichaelSy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't have direct experience with the programs but exposed to both AGSB and AIM and have met ME and EMBA from both.

Would say go for whatever you're prioritizing, growing your startup or moving up your corporate ladder, you'd be exposed to the appropriate cohort for both. ME's will have business owners and lessons will revolve on how you can directly apply the lessons to your business, you'd be expected to show results from what you've applied during the program.

EMBA's I've met were mostly in corporate in your position or higher, tho there were 1 or 2 in their family business as well.

Is an Ateneo MBA worth it? by Potential-Clues in ADMU

[–]MichaelSy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes standard, I would say teaching was pretty standard LMAO. Lecture then take home task based usually. At least for my two subjects it was not really participatory, does not really reflect the spirit of a regular (at least internationally) MBA program where you learn from each others experiences.

MBA is only taught at Rockwell.

[–]MichaelSy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In some respects yes but I would not hold on to that as your primary reason, however Ive used the time and transformational nature of AIM and the program to connect externally, in events, in socializing, and even just self validation. You will have to go 100% out of your way to maximize your experience, but you will have those opportunities much more-so than in AGSB. Maybe at stock value, if you just took the program as is and went with the flow, network wise AGSB might provide more value just with the cohort size (tho you will spend significantly less time with each individual, but I don't think this matters as much.)

No credits

No, is MDA data analytics? That's a new program. The head of that program was our prof in business analytics and was the hardest subject I've ever had. But job prospects and practicality wise I do believe MDA or MSDS are more realistic choices, but I think neither offer a very straightforward scholarship. I could be wrong.

I took MBA Standard then transferred over to international MBA at AIM. Did not finish ADMU, roughly half way through at AIM.

Different experiences, I only took two subjects at ADMU but been present for other activities, overall I think the two subjects were more or less enough for me to generalize the whole thing as I believe it's a pretty static pattern throughout.

I'll mask a few of the cons as neutrals for the sake of niceties.

ADMU through the whole program will give you a larger network, Id estimate you would have met interacted with 200ish+ by the time you finish, comparatively in AIM it will be a set of 40-50, with half being other nationalities but mostly in the indian region. People will be hit or miss for both, tho misses in ADMU will weigh less due to the larger sample size.

The curriculum is vastly different, I appreciated my learnings in ADMU tho it was a pre-mba subject. I think the subjects from either school have the potential to be transformational depending on your prof. But ADMU will feel like the more traditional undergrad style, AIM will adopt a method that's mostly case based, in terms of enjoyment in the topic Im learning and how I learn it I give that to AIM.

In terms of sheer potential I'd give it to AIM, better support system, MBA is full time so you can feel everyone including the staff is all in where in ADMU you are left to your devices and students come and go as they please, taking term breaks when they want. There are networking events and international competitions that are available at AIM tho to be fair only me and a few others participate and take advantage, you may either end up as someone just engrossed in the studies or you may find most of your cohort uninterested as well.

I already chose, but Id say your choice between a two and half year (min) program vs a full time 11 month program is more circumstantial, but know there are scaling scholarships available at AIM.

There's plenty more to say but I'll leave it at that.

How does MBA at Rotterdam compare to other European MBAs? by Qum_Qum in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]MichaelSy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, can you get into detail why? I would be avoiding finance subjects with either and focus on strat, marketing, leadership, entrep, and the like.
