“Hello John,

It is a pleasure for me to provide my strong endorsement for the outstanding value that John Richardson and Law School Bound has consistently delivered for the past 22 years since I had the opportunity to participate in both your LSAT and GMAT preparation courses. After securing outstanding results on both exams, I decided to pursue my MBA which has been instrumental in my professional career. During these years I have advised countless students to invest in both courses and it is truly amazing that John Richardson and his team have managed to maintain their extraordinary value proposition. Even though we have moved from fax machines to wireless technology the feedback from those who follow my advice is always the same. Awesome! If anyone is serious about pursuing an MBA, or if you are law school bound –I highly recommend that you invest in the magic John Richardson is offering!

Best regards,

Richard Pinnock

The MBA Investment: Demographics, Culture, Language, Citizenship and the value proposition

Leave a reply

englishchina

Last week I received an email from a GMAT test taker which read in parts as follows:

“We wanted to ask you out for a drink and learn your opinion on the MBA value proposition for potential students like us.”

The economic times could be better. People are nervous about leaving their jobs to pursue another degree. There is lots of anxiety over the “MBA Decision”. Even so, increasing numbers of Canadians are interested in pursuing an MBA. A majority of GMAT test takers are now outside the United States. Business education is  on a growth trajectory in India and China. To capitalize on the demand for “business case studies”  in Chinese MBA programs, Ivey has employed Chinese students to translate the cases. (The Indian School of Business uses cases  from Ivey.) Some schools are gong further and exporting their MBA program to other parts of the world. One of many examples is the Schulich presence in India. It’s  clear  that the “Business of the MBA” is a growing business. There is no shortage of MBA programs.

After 35 years of helping students achieve their “academic goals”, I thought it I would share a few thoughts on how people might consider achieving their life goals.

Now for the record, the “us” in the email  included one Canadian citizen and one U.S. citizen. What difference does this make? More than you might think. Read on. Continue reading →

The GMAT and MBA Admissions

Leave a reply

The GMAT has been part of the MBA admissions process since the 1950s. Does it play a valuable role in determining an applicant’s potential to finish an MBA program? Does it serve the needs of MBA programs to bolster their rankings?  Regardless of the rationale for the GMAT (and the GRE is  a substitute for the GMAT at may schools), admissions testing in general and the GMAT in particular is here to stay. That means that GMAT preparation in some form or another is essential.

A GMAT score (and preferably a high score) is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for admissions to an MBA program. Different schools use GMAT scores in different ways. There is little agreement on what a GMAT score is evidence of. Furthermore, not everybody agrees that the GMAT is a measure of things that matter to the MBA program. Continue reading →

GMAT Makeover – Integrated Reasoning

Anyone contemplating business school wants to know whether to take the GMAT now or wait until next June, when the integrated reasoning section is introduced. First, ask yourself this: Does an Excel file give you pause? The new section is what came of a 2009 survey of 740 faculty members, who were asked what the GMAT should measure that it didn’t. The section will replace one of two essays, and is heavy on data interpretation. “As the business environment changes, the business curriculum changes,” explains Ashok Sarathy, vice president for the Graduate Management Admission Council, which administers the test. What doesn’t change: total test time (at three and a half hours) and the verbal and quantitative sections. Try your hand at this preview, which GMAC created for Education Life. There are four new question types: multi-source reasoning, graphics interpretation, two-part analysis and sorting tables. Continue reading →
