Are MBA applicants and students in general burning under pressure?

Don’t go to Prison

After college

I wrote this book to break the slavery mindset of students. It exposes flaws in the education system and how it controls your life, both as a student and professional. I’m not giving you motivation or life advice, but practical suggestions to change how you make academic decisions. I want you to see the prison we unknowingly create for ourselves after college and how it affects our lives at the deepest level. I want to share this knowledge with you beforehand so you can live a better life.

Mantras to Crack MBA

Intelligence or Discipline?

Look Around: You will see lots of success Stories with 99th percentile scores, and crores of scholarships. They were all normal human beings just like you. They had same feelings and emotions as you do. They were very insecure, and did not know what future had for them. If they could do it, you can do it too. One thing that mattered the MOST- Discipline and HUNGER! Intelligence was not compulsory.

Don’t Panic

Getting into a TOP Tier University is not an accomplishment. Do not make a BIG Deal out of it. It is a means to an end. It is a path to getting somewhere in your life. The Admissions committee members at Wharton, Stanford, Columbia and Harvard are interested in Simply finding out WHY DO YOU care about their COURSES- and THEY ALSO BELIEVE that an admit is just a means to an end!

Make an Impact

Read this POINT Twice as YOU WON’T get it right the first time: “If your Ivy League Aspiration is personal, and is for you and ONLY YOU, this game of pursuing admissions will be tough. However, if you really, and authentically care about how others will benefit from your Stanford education, you will very soon realise that an Ivy League is not a dream destination, but just a simple pathway to a great future”

This is my LAST Chance

“This is MY LAST YEAR, and I have GOT TO get into a TOP TIER University ASAP” – is the best way to CREATE ARTIFICIAL PRESSURE on YOUR BRAIN. Stop it! And Focus on Action.

Making Test Prep a Bad Habit

If you have been visiting Test Prep classrooms for more than 10 months, you are making prepping a bad habit. Get your preparation right with discipline, and commitment, and get over it in 4 to 6 months. There are better things to do in this short life than to spend years on test taking.Get a SCORE, go out and live.

Test Taking and Bookmyshow

Online Test taking is a lot like bookmyshow.com. You go online, pick a date, and buy the entry tickets. If you don’t perform on the test day, you buy the tickets again, and retake the test.If you don’t perform on the test day, you buy the TICKETS again, and retake the STUPID test. Funny thing is- you make it sound like a ONCE in a LIFE TIME Opportunity and PANIC! We are not finding a CURE To cancer and Aids!

99th percentile is a choice

If you think you CAN get a 99th percentile score, you are absolutely right. If you think YOU CANNOT GET a 99th percentile score- you are again absolutely right. It is a matter of choice- choose carefully.

Poor Academic Past

If you do not have a very powerful academic past, or you think that you are average, get over your past concerns. What matters is “How focused are you choosing to be now?” It is a fresh start!

You are Already Successful

If I get that, I will be successful. The Circle of- Harvard to McKinsey to McKinsey Partner to Coolest Private equity Investor to MOST Successful Man that ever lived will consume your entire life. You can Simply Declare success right now and be quiet! Let us JUST Study and get our great admit, and KEEP THE Conversation about success out of it!
