Course Description

#1 Best Selling MBA Admissions Course on Udemy!

** ACCORDING TO POETS AND QUANTS: This is the #1 online course to prepare for an MBA. "If you feel overwhelmed by MBAs’ admissions processes and at a loss as to how best to navigate it all, relax: there are some very good MOOCs that will teach you some basic yet key tricks and skills to ensure you present a confident version of yourself to institutions and admissions managers. Our choice is Get into the Top MBA Schools + MBA Admission Tips, taught by the Columbia MBA and former Goldman Sachs’ employee Chris Haroun. It’s a comprehensive course on all aspects of applications, as well as on decision-making regarding schools and MBAs."**

** ACCORDING TO BUSINESS INSIDER: "Haroun is one of the highest rated professors on Udemy, so you can expect to be in good hands through the course of your education." **

I interview MBA candidates for the admissions department of my alma mater, which is Columbia University MBA school. You don't need the best grades or test scores to get into the top business schools. I will teach you the secrets on how to get in. I received an MBA from Columbia University and I have helped all of my associates and interns over the years get into the top business schools, including many at Harvard Business School, Wharton, University of Chicago, Stanford, INSEAD, Columbia, NYU, Duke, UCLA and many more! You don't need to have above average test scores or a high GPA. In this course I will teach you only what you need to get in. I will be updating the course often. Thanks

I am volunteering to teach a group of young African professionals from Nigeria about how to improve their applications to top schools and MBAs programs, and this material has been more than stimulating for me. I cannot wait to share this with help them to assist in making their dreams come true.

By Alex M. A. on 7/2/2019

Chris appears to be a very humble, knowledgeable and empathetic person. I do believe his courses to be great and intend to purchase more from him. However, I hoped I could get some amazing insight on my applications with this course, but unfortunately it provided me with no new information that was not yet discussed by my professors or that are easily available online.

By Junxian Zhang on 2/25/2018

Chris is really helping students. 1) I don't know a lot about GMAT, the suggestion he said about using Princeton Review is helpful to me, I'll try it out later when I need to. 2) Chris said the students could send message to him if they cannot get to top 2 or 3 schools they want and he'll help them out. Thanks.

Brief, concise and motivational. Furthermore, the fact that Chris constantly reminds the viewer that he (Chris) is available to be contacted, allows for a more "human" relationship to be established, making the course feel like a conversation rather than an online lecture.

By Jason Summers on 1/19/2017

Great class so far! All of the lectures have great tips and techniques. Is the course short? Yes. But that's okay. It had answers to all of the questions I had......and more. Every lecture kept me engage and taking notes. The instructor is positive, motivating, and left me with a feeling of optimism.

By Jasmina Cehajic on 1/3/2017

The course addressed some of my major concerns re.admissions and more importantly encouraged me even more to apply. I appreciate the positive attitude of the lecturer as well as the short and crisp lectures that still provide more than enough information. I would highly recommend the course!

First of all, I'm a fan for professor Haroun. He helped a lot of people to follow their dreams in the business industry. This course is totally for beginners who know nothing about business but they dream about having a prestigious degree from a top school. It is more motivational than anything else. I bought this course to help me to apply this year but it lacks of information that can help me to do that. Again, for those who know nothing about applying to colleges not business this course would be good for you.

By Paola Gonzalez on 3/19/2016

I really enjoyed this course. It was very insightful and gave me a plethora of tools that I can use to feel more confident when applying to my top business schools.

By Ben Willson on 1/2/2016

Chris does a great job keeping the material simple to understand. The entire course is succinct as is each video; Chris covered material that I had not heard during my preparation for Grad school, even after visiting several universities such as Colombia and Stanford for their MBA tours.

By Brenda Ibanescu on 10/13/2015

I have a friend who paid a grad school admissions tutor $8,000 to give him the same info as Professor Haroun does in this course. This methodology seriously works and could also be applied to seeking a career at your dream company -- you just have to make some adjustments; still wake up in the morning to review technical questions, work on resume, cover letters, utilize LinkedIn to network your way into informational. Professor Haroun boils down what seems like an intimidating process to an easy and enjoyable experience. Great course and would recommend to everyone.
