Students applying for an MBA are expecting the degree to lead to significant bumps in their incomes. The applicants valued the help of consultants in preparing their applications, but many had mixed feelings about the video interviews that many business schools have begun to use. The applicants also suggest that business schools adopt common processes for recommendations.
These were some of the findings from a survey by Huron Education’s Constituent Research Group for the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants.

How to conduct effective interviews May 2011Timothy Holden
Half day interactive open workshop in Toronto for individuals recently appointed or promoted into roles where they will be interviewing for the first time.
How students search for and decide for a university has grown more complex: the search process and the consulted channels have multiplied.
UNIspotter conducted a study among 86 students (business; interested in pursuing a Master) to observe how they search, where they search and what they search for when deciding for a study program.
We discovered that the search process follows a pattern (4 stages):
- Browse universities (50+ programs)
- Narrow down the option (15-25 programs)
- Detailed Research: Compare (10 programs)
- (Pre-)Decision: Apply (on average 5 programs)
However, not all the touch points are considered equally relevant for the final decision.
The university of the future needs to attract top-talent in a rapidly changing market and needs to manage the information that impacts the future students' decision.
But: most of the time you are not even aware that potential students make decisions about you. Google calls this "The Zero Moment of Truth" - customers researching about you on the internet before they decide to buy a service.
How do students consider university rankings, accreditations, search engines, online portals and the direct contact with universities?
We want to provide you an insight into what we found out.
And input on how you can identify the customer journey your students have had as well as a check-list on how to find room for improvement.
We would be very happy to have your feedback about it!

True story: by understanding the factors that drive decisions, as well as the thoughts and emotions that our target audiences experience, we can improve both promise and process for the groups that we serve.
Experience maps — graphical representations of the interactions individuals have with a product or service — are an effective tool for understanding our audiences. Based on both qualitative and quantitative research, experience maps can lead to numerous insights by illustrating what audiences think, feel, and do at various stages in a process. Experience maps also reveal existing gaps and potential opportunities in the overall user experience. We can harness these insights to educate stakeholders and drive positive changes and improvements across an entire engagement lifecycle.
In this Webinar:
• You’ll learn the principles behind experience mapping, as well as various techniques for collecting necessary data and information.
• You’ll explore an array of tools for illustrating experience maps.
• You’ll see examples of maps we’ve developed for a number of different institutions, and you’ll hear the insights from those maps that influenced content strategy and process change.
• You’ll discover approaches for using experience maps in your projects to ensure a positive user experience.

The Individual Development Plan for Postdoctoral Professional Developmentauthors boards
Purpose of the Individual Development Plan
The Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a tool designed to assist with (1) assessing an individual’s skill set relative to their career goals; (2) identifying professional goals and objectives; and (3) developing a plan to acquire the skills and competencies needed to achieve short- and long-term career objectives. While the IDP is not new, its recognition as a best practice in postdoctoral professional development is fairly recent. The Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) was an early proponent of using IDPs for postdoctoral career planning. Dr. Philip Clifford, Associate Dean of Postdoctoral Education at the Medical College of Wisconsin, played a key role in drafting and promoting the FASEB model of the Postdoctoral IDP. Because of its demonstrated usefulness in fostering professional development, the IDP is increasingly recognized as an important instrument for postdocs in a broad range of positions. A well-crafted IDP can serve as both a planning and a communications tool, allowing postdocs to identify their research and career goals and to communicate these goals to mentors, PIs, and advisors
During our webinar, we will discuss ways to strengthen your application and increase your competitiveness as a candidate. We will primarily focus on ways to enhance your resume, essays, and recommendations.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

“Getting objective feedback on my essays.”
“My biggest struggle in MBA essay writing was
figuring out how informed the readers of the
essay will be. It isn't made clear anywhere.
Are they reading like a layperson, like I'm
talking to my parents' friends? Or is someone
well-informed about private equity (my
industry) going to read the essay? It
drastically impacts what I write. The
admissions consultant helped me figure out
the audience.”

Most helpful consultant services: Selecting
schools, finding fit
• “It's important in defining
the most important
objectives in order to select a
program that fits the
student's needs and to
prepare adequately to the
requirements of the
prospective universities.”
• “Being an International
applicant, it is very difficult
to even shortlist schools
without some help. The most
valuable aspect for me was
that the consultant really got
the ball rolling and I picked
up pace as I got immersed in
the process.”

Consultants help bridge cultural gaps for applicants
• “I think being on the ground in US helps international students understand what is expected of a b-
school. When I applied last year and after using an admission consultant, applied this year, there was
a world of a difference in my application, simply because I was used to doing things in my local style
whereas they know how to present things ‘the U.S. way’.”
And are very well positioned to assess candidacy
• “Since the consultants typically go through a lot of applications they are in a position to judge the
material that you write with regards to other candidates, providing an unbiased opinion on ones
candidacy.”
• “Talking with someone who has worked in an admissions office and knows what a school is looking for
in an application.”
Consulting also has exceptional value for nontraditional applicants
• “I'm the only one I know applying to graduate school so it is difficult to get feedback on the process
from anyone I know. Using a consultant allowed me to bounce ideas off of someone who has been
there, it also allowed me to look at my story in a different light.”
• “As a non-traditional student my admissions consultant helped frame my experience and strengths...
This was an invaluable perspective for me.”

Some applicants are enthusiastic about this new opportunity to represent themselves
• “It's a great way to acquaint admissions with applicants - especially since personality and presence is difficult to
communicate over paper. Video is the future and most people already have access to that - why not leverage it?
Confident applicants will benefit tremendously, as will schools who are looking for more than applicants who are
simply strong on paper.”
• “They are an excellent weed out for those that actually want to go to the school.”
While many others cite drawbacks, such as distortions of the medium:
• “While the intended purpose of the video essays is to make the process more personal, I think the opposite is
actually true as speaking to a computer is quite different from engaging with a human being in a conversation.”
• “Very awkward. People tend to look horrible on webcam, so an enormous amount of time and effort is wasted
positioning the camera, computer, lighting, etc. Yes, we are told appearance does not matter, but looking at one's
self while speaking is related to confidence and delivery, and when you look terrible because a tiny camera in a
poorly lit room is the medium of representation, it is not a fair representation.”
• “There need to be further guidelines on how big a role technical factors like videography, post production editing and
similar things play. Those candidates with money to burn have an immediate advantage in this.”
Applicants suggest that admissions committees provide ample guidelines for these components
and work extremely hard to iron out technical issues
• “Due to extremely slow internet (live in Asia) - the video was quite choppy and possibly irrelevant as a data point.”
• “Technical glitches in the process create an entirely new level of apprehension and discomfort. Reference: Kellogg
video essay was a disaster.”

Did your recommenders ask that you
draft/write recommendation letters for them?
Applicants suggest that schools create a
common system for recommendations
When asked what they would like
admissions committees to know
about the recommendation process,
many expressed that the process is
onerous for recommenders
• The most common response was a
call for schools to adopt a shared,
standard set of questions
“They should really work together to use
a common recommendation system. The
questions each school ask are virtually
the same. It was a lot of duplicative
work and a major inconvenience to my
recommenders, so much so it is directly
related to me choosing not to apply to
more schools because of the amount of
additional work I'd have to ask them to
do.”
