I really learned a lot, thank you so much 🙏🙏
Very Informative Thank you
very helpful content, i hope to ace my interview with ASU for MBA
very insightful!
Aunty Shade for the win!!!!
51 minutes of my time well spent! Thank you for putting this interview out here.
There seems to be great quality in this school
neah
Who wrote the intro music?
I listened to every minute of this. Thanks Henry! Keep inspiring. Also, congrats on getting Messi. 😊🎉
Very impressive 👏
Thank you so much for this video! Really, thank you! I have a question and I need guidance. I have a bachelor's degree that I earned a while ago, back in 2014 in Canada, with a very very very low GPA (2.3) due to health issues, medication, and a physical disability. However, I earned a master's degree from Harvard (HES) with a GPA of 3.88. My goal is to apply to HBS (Harvard Business School) Ph.D. (I am aware that this video is about MBA but I still want to have your opinion regarding Ph.D.) My question for you is, which GPA will the admission officers consider the most? My undergraduate GPA or Master's GPA? Thank you very much! :)
Wow, she's amazing. Congrats for getting into several top MBA programs. Berkeley Haas is amazing full of amazing people.
Does Imperial help with careers in the USA? Is it pointless for someone in the USA to study at Imperial College Business School, if their goal is to get at a senior leadership position in the USA?
Go samuel...
Very helpful! Thanks😍
Thank you for this video. I shared it with a few friends. They were so excited.. You should research Promo SM!!
How about Cost? Thanks
Hello I am dissatisfied by the manner on which you withhold my CAS from me so could you rectify this anomaly for my enrollment on such in 2023 as my Oxford MBA in 2023 was submitted for review successfully on my Application Management account on Said Business School , thank you, sincerely yours : Mpho ; Kesitwe :Tshoagong
Hello I have the university website for the Oxford MBA on my You Tube account as well as those of the 1+1 MBA program and Executive MBA program and other Oxford activities on the Oxford University Student Union also on You Tube and I derive maximum pleasure on the Oxford MBA in 2023 program content as such , thank you
Hello Dr Dana Brown, I sat for my GMAT exam on the Oxford portal and my score was 870 or 860 which I had a right to utilize productively to my advantage so could you assist me to do such by awarding me my CAS for the Oxford MBA as the Oxford University Press should assume responsibility of withholding my C1 Advanced in English from me after I was pre qualified for such on Cambridge Assessment English with a score of 23/25 , thank you , Mpho ; Kesitwe :Tshoagong
It is a tremendous pity that Said is ranked 54 in the world among leading business school , however if you could rectify the anomaly with the interview methodologies the rankings could transit positively , thank you.
Have you ever sent them an email? the admission team is really helpful. They answered almost every question of mine except those that are too deep and complex.
Hello Dr Dana Brown , I registered for Kira Online Assessment and my interview as such could not be concluded so could you waive the Kira Online Assessment for me as a prerequisite for enrollment on my Oxford MBA in 2023 on Merton as I was previously enrolled partially with Balliol for the same in 2022 and I was not successful to be enrolled on campus as a result of my inability to set up my Camera and Microphone for the assessment , yet I successfully received my E-Books from Kira Online Assessment and Form Assembly , thank you madam, Mpho ; Kesitwe :Tshoagong
So much value on this channel!
Thanks for brining such an enormous amount of value in each video!! It has really helped me
The podcast is really insightful . Thanks for sharing

Hi, thank you for the insightful conversation, I have a question regarding the program. For social impact, what are the distinctive benefits you can gain as compared to the healthcare program. (inside the program and the career prospects post MBA). I am a medical doctor trying to pivot my career and i'm trying to figure out which program would be best for me. Thanks!
i had a small doubt, what is the difference between international business management (IBM) and this MIM course. Can you explain this?
does it hold true after covid-19?
Wow! This was super informative!
fantastic name
Wonderful interview with Katie Lloyd from Georgia Tech’s Scheller College of Business. I am applying to GT’s MBA program and listening to this interview has helped me understand the process. Please continue the work!
What if the score is high on GMAT but low on GPA?
Awesome episode and what a story from Mark Zee!!
great interview. however this is almost 6 year ago and she isnt at Oxford anymore. it'd be awesome if oxford admission team provides the most recent/updated info about their program
Great interview. Thank you so much!
Hey Darren, I love listening to your interviews.. always informative. Its a knowledge bank for us aspirants, i appreciate you for doing these
Thanks for this great episode. I'm targeting healthcare post-MBA and this was awesome.
Bro is this program stem certified or is there any stem based pathway in this program ?
Thailand and Russia listening
Hey, Nice advice but, where are the templates?
Anybody sitting for interviews this year? How do they measure what % of scholarship you get ?
Great video, missed hearing the ending though , due to the overlapping music. Except that, insightful!
thanks! you can listen to the full episode here: touchmba.com/interview-with-dean-of-postgraduate-professional-programs-dr-philip-zerillo-smu/
Really helpful thank you. Interesting though that the bursary is determined by academic merit. Is there any bursaries or scholarships for those from low socio-economic backgrounds who are self funding the degree?
Do check out Cambridge MBA's 30+ page list of scholarships and bursaries here: www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/programmes/mba/fees-funding/#item2
I really enjoyed this. It’s been a year, can we have Grace back to talk about her journey since the time of this video? This was fantastic.
