It is Finished

By -

By "it," I'm referring to my Management Research Report (MRR).

Yes, it's done, revisions, teaching notes, printed copy, electronic version and all. It has been signed by my MRR advisers as well. Well... not all of my advisers yet-- Prof. Ricky Lim is out of town and will be back tomorrow, but there were instructions that I could already have my clearance papers for the MBA program processed.

Speaking of my clearance papers, I started getting it processed two weeks ago. Like most schools, students must secure clearance from the various units, like the library, dormitory, accounting, etc. in order to graduate and claim the diploma. With the sign-off from the MBA program, I went to the Student Services, Admissions and Registration (SSAR) to obtain my final clearance requirements. And with that, I was done. :D

To be honest, it still has not sunk in my mind that I'm virtually done with my MBA.Maybe it's because I just finished everything a couple of hours ago and the deadline to get everything done is today. :P

Up next: Graduation practice. :)

Trivia: The title of this post was inspired by a phrase from a passage in the Bible, John 19:30.

Making the Grade

Grades are out! Grades for all but one subject have been released and if you look at my potential GPA so far, it falls in the "Satisfactory" band. (I've made a post regarding the grading system in the Asian Institute of Management, you might want to take a look.) By AIM standards, that means I'm average. But does that tell the whole story? Does that mean I'm your "average" MBA student? I've done some analysis The school segments the MBA core subjects in two major areas-- Quantitative and Qualitative subjects. Quantitative subjects include: Language of Business (LOB) Economics (ECO) Quantitative Analysis (QA) Financial Management 1 (FM1) Financial Management 2 (FM2) Management of Cost and Profit (MCP) Management Control Systems (MCS) The Qualitative subjects include: Human Behavior in Organization (HBO) Management Communication (MC) Marketing Management (MM) Operations Management (OM) General Management & Ethics (GME) Asian Business Systems (ABS)

Getting Admitted to the MBA Program

By -
Let backtrack a bit: How was I able to get admitted to the Asian Institute of Management (AIM)? The admission process is a relatively brief process, but rigorous nonetheless. The AIM Website outlines the procedure on how to apply and the requirements as well. However, I found some old content at the AIM site that might get some users confused. But in spite of that, my experience in applying was a very smooth and hassle-free one. I made sure that I had the following accomplished: Application Form - This can be downloaded online . The application form is very long and has 14 essay questions! It is better to answer the essay questions briefly and direct to the point. Official Transcripts - This is my undergraduate transcript from the University of the Philippines - Diliman . Academic Recommendation Letter - I had a former professor of mine from the Ateneo Graduate School of Business accomplish this one. Professional Recommendation Letter - I asked a former superior make a recommenda

My Experience with the Embassy of India in Manila

Are you a Filipino going to India? Be warned. You may be in for a great deal of frustration. I've been spending the past week arranging my visa for my Action Consultancy (AC) in India. (The AC is equivalent to AIM's industry internship for its MBA students; I'll blog more about this in future posts). The frustration has really been mounting because of the very confusing and Byzantine system of the Indian embassy here in the Philippines. First point of frustration: the customer service. I initially called the embassy to clarify the requirements and procedures. The embassy has an automated answering system that has a selection where a caller can get an itemized list of requirements. That's all. No information of procedures, steps or guidelines. I selected the option to talk to a staff member and when I asked my query, she told me I'll find everything I need at the Indian Embassy website . If you look at the site, there are some information, but not the ones I'm lo
