Arti Dhole - From Mumbai To Munich
Yana Immis
Ms. Arti Dhole has successfully completed her Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at Munich Business School (MBS) in Munich (Started in March 2020).
“I am an engineer by education and Marketeer by profession. I have had a decade-long successful career in India when I decided I wanted more than a regular job and I wanted to stretch my professional horizons.
The best way to start a career abroad is by studying.
While I was evaluating several countries and the cost of MBA courses, I met Yana Immis on Quora where she had replied to one of my queries.
I was looking for:
1. affordable
2. good quality education
3. in a country which could also offer me a work permit
When I spoke to her, I found her to understand my background and my requirement, she immediately listed down the list of universities where I could apply.
I had told her my concerns about not scoring high marks in GMAT but she counseled me on how colleges need more than just GMAT scores.
Out of all the colleges at hand, I had found Munich Business School to be the college that offered the exact subjects which I wanted to study which included innovation, entrepreneurship and corporate strategy.
Other colleges wanted me to do specialization on any one of the subjects but MBS offered me the whole gamut of specializations in just one year course which was perfect to suit my needs.
Additionally doing MBA in Germany would also offer me 18 months of work permit after my studies
…which was a perfect fitting for me!
I immediately started writing my motivation letter; at every step I found Yana supporting and encouraging me to present my best self. I even had few recommendation letters pending to submit to the college but Yana had already managed to arrange an interview with Munich Business School for me.
The interview went well and they offered me the admission letter almost immediately. Considering my situation, Yana guided me to apply for a scholarship. I wasn’t sure if I would be the right candidate to apply for the scholarship but Yana had complete faith in me. I eventually even managed to secure a good scholarship and join the college.
The best thing about Yana is that she never leaves you alone:
she will be a part of your journey right from the time you sign up with her, to the time you secure admission
during your visa process and till you land in Munich and even after that to know your situation in your new environment
she gives her special magic touch to every little detail regarding your education
and not to forget she doesn’t charge you a penny for any of her services
After I landed in Munich, my classes lasted only for a week after which the school shifted to online classes for a month as a precaution to the Corona Virus pandemic. We are currently studying online and enjoying life in Munich!
But within that week itself, I won an award for the best elevator pitch and my team won ‘Munich Business School Championship 2020’ and I was so proud of myself, but most importantly…
…I was happy that Yana became a family outside India and trusted me to come to this stage, prove myself and achieve my dreams. I will be forever thankful to her for the same.”
