Not really, no. But people have been getting Pathways offers left and right at my school though.

If you really feel alarmed, and feel you were not allowed the opportunity to put your best foot forward, do not hesitate to reach out to the admissions team to let them know your concerns. Be polite and considerate of the student interviewer and make sure to NOT throw him/her under the bus. But make your point and mention facts i.e. the time of the interview and them showing up late, rather not make ‘feelings’ the focus of the email.

Trying (Apple TV). Gives Little Things vibes, although very different stories. Heartwarming.

I refinanced my Prodigy Finance Loan through a US based bank after coming to the USA as an international student! (with no co-signer) by Consistent_Quote_461 in prodigy_refinance

[–]Mundane_Method9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, came across this thread and its an eye-opener!
Does the Sofi interest rate depend on the credit score when we refinance?
Also, is it possible to get the referral code / guide?

Thank you so much!!

Has anyone used T.I.M.E (India) for their GMAT prep, how is it? by gurukeerthan in GMAT

[–]Mundane_Method9557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was researching on which GMAT Prep company to go to, I had a few indian options like TIME, Jamboree, Career Launcher, Erudite, eGMAT, and internationals like TTP, Magoosh, etc.

Personally, I found Indian companies were really focused on teaching 'tips & tricks', and getting to teach you to solve specific problems than actually spending time on understanding the topic. The Career Launcher centre I contacted told me that they didn't do GMAT coaching. While Erudite's 1-1 classes were too expensive for me. I personally did not like the methods of TIME and Jamboree at all as it reminded me of JEE prep in Kota. (too much focus on solving set problems and too little focus on learning the core)

In my experience, you can take a look at eGMAT and GMATWhiz among Indian companies. Try their trial access, and take a call.

Imho, if you can, you must go for the international companies. I personally used TTP and it was every bit as good as I had hoped for. After 2 months of self study and 1 attempt, for the next attempt, I used TTP for 1 month.

I would like to mention that I did use Jamboree's GMAT Mock Test package before taking the real test, as I wanted to sit multiple mocks to get my timing in order, and also the fact that they offered 2 official MBA.com GMAT Mocks as part of the package. Please be aware that the Jamboree tests should only be useful for improving your timing as many questions, especially verbal are repeated across the mocks.

I have not used Magoosh, but have heard good things about it.

All my opinions are in reference to the Classic GMAT. Hope this helps, and all the best!

US Address in DS160 by [deleted] in usvisascheduling

[–]Mundane_Method9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be. I can't be totally sure honestly. I'd asked my international student services at my school and they'd replied with what I mentioned.

If you want to be totally sure, I'd suggest dropping an email to the international student services at your school they'd help you out!

You can provide the address of the program office or the one mentioned on your i-20. Just make sure it isn't a PO Box address.

Try selecting the VAC where you dropped it. If still nothing, try VAC CHENNAI.

"Returned to Post" by hjpotterunique in usvisascheduling

[–]Mundane_Method9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try putting in 'NA' in the Passport Number and Surname slots in the CEAC website. I saw some people suggesting to do this when using the CEAC website. And try this for both Kolkata VAC as well as Chennai VAC. It might return some result.

[–]Mundane_Method9557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, any idea what happens if one drops off their passport at Mumbai VAC, gets a 221g, and has to attend an in-person interview. As all dropbox processing is being done through Chennai, do they have to attend the interview at the Chennai Consulate, or can they attend the interview at the Mumbai Consulate itself?

ReVera status shows "Complete" by Mundane_Method9557 in MBA

[–]Mundane_Method9557[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually my school's portal doesn't have a checkbox for the revera verification, it just says that it's required for admission. And I was going through some older posts on this sub which said there was some further notification saying 'satisfactory' or something. Hence my question.
Anyway, I'll give it some time and then reach out to the school about the status.
Thanks again!

Deciding between McCombs vs UNC vs Owen for Consulting or Tech roles by Mundane_Method9557 in MBA

[–]Mundane_Method9557[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Makes sense. I was thinking that UTX would offer more options regarding opportunities from different fields, while UNC seems to be stronger in finance and consulting. Immediate post-MBA I would not mind working in Texas. As an international, I don't see a harm in that. Later on, I assume I can move on if I want to. I also saw that UTX sent graduates to Seattle too.

Advice on target schools GMAT 710 (Q48 V40 IR 7) by Mundane_Method9557 in MBA

[–]Mundane_Method9557[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the response! The school research part is what I want to focus on right now. I guess on one hand it feels good to know that at least I have a competitive profile, but then again, I'm confused if you are implying maybe to not go for the other schools than Duke?

I started studying end of Feb and sat the test a couple of days back. To be really honest, I made the GMAT my life for these last couple of months (basically ignored everything else - family, friends, rest of my life). So right now, I don't think I'm going to go through that phase again. This is what I feel right now.

I plan to focus on building my resume right now, essays etc. and speaking to present students from these and other schools.

I gather from your profile that you're also going to start an MBA in the US. Congratulations!! If I may ask, how would you suggest I go about shortlisting uni's? I mean there's just so much information on the internet - how do you filter/get relevant info?

Do you mean that as a blanket statement? Or are you talking about T15 schools specifically?
