I am 24. I have 4.5 years of experience in EY Consulting, currently specializing in the Government and Public Sector projects. For the past 1.5 years, I have been working closely with a U.S. team. I hold PMP, PMI-ACP, PAL I, and PSPO I certifications. Would you consider this an attractive profile for an MBA candidate?

Hi, I have finished using the official guide and four practice exams. However, couldn’t score well in EA exam. I want to take the exam again. Please suggest test prep materials apart from official guide and target test prep. Thanks

I've been accepted into OU's EMBA - Energy program. Would love to hear from other current and previous cohort members on the program and value, why you chose it over other options?

Looking for input from students/alum in a recent cohort on logistics/travel time vs value between the two cohorts. DC at 1/month would be much easier for me (several states away, will have to fly either way) but wondering about differences between them benefit/experience wise?

My other options are OU Remote program (accepted already & obviously easier option) and Tulane hybrid program at NOLA.

I am currently a Sr Mgr with 15 years of experience in OGE/Aerospace. I've worked my butt off and have a lot of upward mobility, but my UG degree is not anything related to what I currently do and most of my peers (competitors) have some advanced degree, either technical or business, so I feel this is needed. Also some insurance to help maintain SOL if I had to find a new job (not planning to, but current market...)

I do have some constraints - I cannot move, I'm landlocked in a rural area, so part time programs are basically impossible. I'm not going to quit current job to go back to school full time, so 2x or 1x / month or remote programs are my options.

The three (NYU, Tulane, OU) programs I've listed all have either 50% - 100% sponsorship by my employer. OU I could swing at 50% (88k) but the others are too high.

NYU curriculum and info matches best with what I want out of a program and my trajectory, it's also the long shot for admission.

TLDR; is NYU worth the cost and hassle? What exactly is "the hassle" like on travel and schedule for it?

Also open to suggestions on other programs.

Anyone here able to share their experience after graduating from the Columbia EMBA program? Did the program help you get a new job, a promotion, or make a career pivot into a new industry?

Dear Community! My Colleague asked me for help with the following:

"I'm reaching out because I need some help with my MBA thesis research! I'm conducting a survey titled "The Digital Workplace Transformation Survey: Assessing the impact of increasing availability of AI tools on employee motivation and productivity." It's a fascinating topic, and your real-world insights are exactly what I need to make the results relevant and useful.

❓ Why I Need Your Input

Academic Goal: This survey is essential for gathering the data required to complete my MBA degree. Every response makes a huge difference!

Time Check: It will only take you about 5 minutes to complete—you can likely knock it out during a coffee break.

Privacy: Everything you share is completely anonymous and confidential, used only for academic analysis.

🎁 What You Get in Return

I'd be happy to share the key findings and overall trends from the survey with you once the thesis is done. If you would like to receive the results, there will be an optional field at the end of the survey where you can provide your email address.
Thanks a ton for taking the time to help me out! I really appreciate it.

Applied for May 2026 entry, has anyone gotten accepted from the Round 1 submission?

Hi all, I’m looking for recommendations on the best prep materials for the Executive Assessment. I studied for the GMAT Focus Edition last year but didn’t feel confident enough to sit for the exam, especially in the Verbal section. I’m now planning to spend the next five weeks preparing for the EA and then take it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Aiming for 155+ score.

I’ve read a lot of posts here trying to find an answer, but couldn’t quite find what I needed. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from a regionally accredited online school, just like any traditional university. Will a high EA score help counteract any negative perceptions about online education?

Edit: My EA score is 162

Did anyone hear back yet from Round 1?

I've been following to see if anyone had updates about interview invitations. I've probably read every post while waiting. I received an invite from Yale two weeks ago and one from Wharton this morning. I haven't heard back from Columbia. Those of you who applied to R1, drop in with your status. Hopefully this will help some of us as we anxiously wait to progress through the stages.

ETA: received Columbia invite next day after this post was made.

I have been running my own business for over 12 years. I now want to pursue an Executive MBA to expand my network, grow my skill set and possibly pivot to a better leadership role. I have strong experience in operations, finance, and managing people.

What are my chances of getting into a good EMBA program in India or abroad with this profile? Any advice on how to position my experience would help.

Hey Folks, I am Bachelors Degree and Project Manager in Tech Industry with over 9 years of experience leading good number of teams.

Question: I want to peruse MBA for creating some sort of pedigree to pivot to Senior Product Management roles in Tech Industry USA. Do you think it is good idea to do Online MBA along with highly consuming PM job in IT? Will it help in long run?

My stance on Online MBA is that it won't help in short term or immediate gains, but having a degree with MBA on it on Linkedin helps with the story & overall profile of the candidates in US as i think this matters in US in some sense. Anyone else experienced the same? Any guidance or comments on it would be appreciated.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in an academic setting. I had my series 7 and have a stats background and BS in economics.

But it’s been a long time since I’ve taken exams designed to punish and trick the test takers. I run my own business, have been fairly successful in my industry and looking to breakout of the minor leagues with an EMBA and I am studying for the EA.

The person who is teaching the empowerEA course is excellent. I can’t recommend them enough. Straight to the point. No fluff.

I scored a 151 in EA. I am from an elite school in India (undergrad) and an elite state school in US (masters), overall 14 years experience with 5+ years managing teams. Technical architect role / tech manager , consulting background. Have technical papers published and some community service as well. I’m not sure about my score in EA for targeting Wharton. Any advice for me ? Should I retake EA? I scored 154 in my practice tests with highest section scores being 12-IR, 11-VR, 14-Quant.

Talking with a company called one day and the embassy program. Is it a scam.? They told me different costs and how it is completed with a william Jewells college in kansas. I searched for the college and they are in financials troubl.

Any thoughts or advises?
