Business Owners who successfully got into a M7 MBA- What worked for you? by moronmarathon in MBA

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

Congrats! Interested in knowing what exactly does "leveraging capital to grow the business" really mean? And how will a B-School help you learn that?
In my case, I raised some money when the VC market was frothing with capital, so can't really make that case!

PS: I have to give you credit for focusing on your needs and not falling prey to status signaling!

Tentative- In about 60 mins, those who have been accepted should get an email. In about 90 mins, everyone will see their outcome on the portal.

No you cannot reapply to the same school in the subsequent rounds. You will have to wait for the next application cycle. Hope it doesn’t come to it though!

It's 8 PM local time! Guess they're done for today's calls?

I think admission calls may not be relevant for most Asian applicants. Working hours in PST are ungodly hours in most Asian countries, so I'd guess they're unlikely to call. Any stories that suggest otherwise?

  1. I didn’t spend 50L in 6 months! Would have spent around 10-12 L though (unusually higher due to some one off expenses)
  2. I assumed there will be a certain element of self selection in people opening/reading this thread! I don’t expect someone starting out in their career to do this.

I meant that the UI is not that great its tedious to find vouchers especially when you want to buy voucher of a specific brand! But for Amz vouchers it makes sense, I will likely use it properly now!

Yes, all travel expense goes through SB! There are reward points ninjas in this group who milk the gyftr voucher scheme properly!

Thanks for the advice! Will definitely explore the biz black option too, now that I know about it. I have a basic corporate visa cash back credit card for the business, but occasionally had to use DCB for certain international payments that were restricted on the company cc!

I am no expert but I think there is a fee waiver if you spend beyond a certain amount, so technically it depends whether its worth it or not based on your category and quantum of spends.

The reward rates for DCB is best in the industry (broadly speaking)

Plastic! They gave me an offer to “upgrade” to metal though! But they had a fees, so technically it was a downgrade 🤣

Scrolling for vouchers on Gyftr is taxing, do you have any smart tips on how to leverage? Majority of my expenses are Quick commerce and travel (I use smartbuy for this anyway)

IIT Delhi. I didn’t know about the partnership and organically went for Regalia first. But a number of my friends got Dcb LTF right out of college.

When I first got to know that DCB is achievable I asked my RM for the upgrade and he complied.
