Hi guys!! In this video, I had the chance to interview a current MBA student at Harvard Business School, Kriti Gupta. Kriti received her undergraduate degree from IIT Bombay, following which she worked in the Venture Capital field as an analyst before recently being admitted into Harvard Business School.
We discuss the different aspects of a successful business school application from the HBS Interview to GMAT & GRE, how you can become a more confident communicator to what the value of an MBA degree is with Covid-19 and virtual learning. We discuss the importance of skill-based and certification based learning, and also Kriti’s application timeline to Harvard Business School and when she began preparing to write her Statement of Purpose.
