Team Member Spotlight – Kyle Schattner

This week we’re introducing you to another incredible team member of The Art of Applying team, so you can get to know us a little better!

Meet Kyle, our customer enrollment and onboarding specialist!

Kyle grew up in Baden, Ontario, Canada, which is a small town with a population of under 10,000 people. He was an honors student at the University of Waterloo where he majored in German. Why major in German? Both sides of Kyle’s family are German, but he was never taught the language as a child. This instilled a desire in him to master the language later on in life.

Besides his interest in Germany and all things German, his other great passion in life is football (or soccer for those of us not in the know). He is an avid follower of the game and supports FC Bayern Munich from the German Bundesliga, as well as Liverpool FC from the English Premier League. In his spare time, he likes to play soccer, watch soccer, read soccer-related books, play soccer video games, watch soccer videos on YouTube, and follow soccer-related accounts on social media (he’s aware he might be borderline obsessed).

His favorite part about working for The Art of Applying? He loves the rewarding feeling of being a part of our team! He feels that it’s “pretty frickin’ cool” (his own words) to be a part of a team that has had so many miraculous success stories!

His fun fact about himself: he loves to sing in the car…very loudly.

The U.S. Latino Leadership Fellowship

This week  we’d like to tell you about a great funding opportunity at the Harvard Kennedy School: the U.S. Latino Leadership Fellowship.

This fellowship is sponsored by the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Center for Public Leadership (CPL) in order to bring together talented and emerging leaders who are committed agents of transformation in U.S. Latino and other under-served communities.

U.S. Latino Leadership Fellows are leaders who:

Create sustainable change in under-served communities by leveraging community assets
Inspire innovative change in local and national programs and policies
Build cross-sector partnerships and collaborations

Previous U.S. Latino Leadership Fellows have addressed disparities in their communities through efforts in public policy, education, economic development, health care, immigration, social entrepreneurship and a variety of other fields.

If you’re a practitioner, scholar or activist ready to lead the transformation of U.S. Latino and other under-served communities, this could be a game changing opportunity for you.

So what does the fellowship provide?

U.S. Latino Leadership Fellows are awarded a full tuition scholarship to HKS and health fees for up to two years, depending on the length of their graduate program.
Fellows are also eligible for a living stipend for up to two years.
A comprehensive co-curricular leadership development program set within the Harvard ecosystem and offering a robust network of faculty and students.

Key Fellowship Components Include:


Fall Annual Retreat: CPL Fellows begin engaging one another and developing their network of fellows, faculty, and alumni that will support their aspirations as leaders.


Dream Trusts: Dream Trusts are a structured opportunity for fellows to receive counsel and support from a trusted and experienced group of peer advisors. Each fellow has at least one opportunity to present a leadership challenge to the group.


Leadership Discussion Series: On a weekly basis, the fellows engage one another as well as practitioners and local and national leaders on current challenges and opportunities for Latino leadership.


Field Experience: Fellows choose a city or a small region to take a multi-day field experience. On this trip, they meet with local leaders in order to gain an understanding of deep rooted societal problems and innovative approaches to resolving them. Fellows plan, coordinate, and lead the field experience.


Connection with CPL and U.S. Latino Public Leadership Initiative Network: Fellows engage with a diversity of emerging leaders from the U.S. and other parts of the world through opportunities like roundtable discussions, mentoring experiences with fellowship alumni, leadership skills workshops, and networking events.

Team Member Spotlight – Dylan

This week we’re introducing you to one of our incredible team members here at The Art of Applying, so you can get to know us a little better!

Meet our lead breakthrough coach, Dylan!

Dylan grew up in rural Canada, and went to high school in the middle of nowhere. He was always a very strong writer so he pursued an education and career in journalism. He did eventually decide, however, that he wanted to find work that he found more fulfilling (The Art of Applying!).

In addition to his work, Dylan is passionate about the Liverpool FC. He self identifies as an obsessed soccer fan, and thinks non stop about his team. He even has the Liverpool motto, “You’ll Never Walk Alone” tattooed on his forearm! In 2017, Dylan realized a lifelong goal when he finally got to see a live game during a visit to Liverpool. He loves the fan culture surrounding the club, and genuinely feels that his bond with the team is meant to be.

Dylan has a few things that he loves about working for The Art of Applying. The first is that he loves working with the people, both internally and externally, that he gets to communicate with. He feels that our team is both fun and diverse, which makes for a positive company culture. On the client side, he loves that he has the opportunity to engage with different people from all over the world. For Dylan, it is fulfilling to hear about our clients’ goals and dreams, and to be a small part of helping them achieve their goals.

A fun fact about Dylan? People always tell him he looks like Johnny Depp, so this past Halloween he dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow!

Princeton: Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs Master’s in Public Policy Program

Hello and welcome back to the blog!

Last week we told you all about the Harvard Kennedy School’s Mid-Career Master in Public Administration program. If you’re not caught up, be sure to check in out on the blog.

This week we’re keeping the focus on you mid-career professionals who are interested in an advanced degree in public policy by introducing you to…

Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs
Master in Public Policy Program

Similar to the HKS Mid-Career MPA, the Woodrow Wilson MPP degree has been specifically designed as a one-year program for mid-career professionals who are rising leaders in international and domestic public policy.

Over the course of an intensive year of studies, the MPP program offers students rigorous training in quantitative and policy analysis. This prepares graduates of the program to return to their careers with the intellectual breadth, organizational skills, and self-confidence necessary to assume leadership positions in an increasingly complex public service environment.

Woodrow Wilson MPP candidates kick off their studies with a required 6-week summer program that prepares them for the pace and intensity of the year long curriculum.

Eligibility Criteria for the Woodrow Wilson MPP Degree

MPP candidates come from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds, but all must have a minimum of seven years of work experience in either the public or nonprofit sector in order to be considered for admission to the mid-career MPP program.

Although the Woodrow Wilson MPP program typically accepts only 15-25 students per year, those lucky few will be considered for one of the most robust financial aid packages offered in the public policy graduate admissions sphere.  Read on to learn more!

Financial Aid

One of the most unique aspects of the mid-career MPP program at Princeton is the financial aid. The Woodrow Wilson School aims to enable graduate students to earn a degree without incurring indebtedness so that they are able to pursue a career of public service in the public or nonprofit sector.

What does this mean for you?

It means that unless an applicant has received outside scholarships, the school will offer each MPP candidate a full tuition scholarship and a stipend to cover living expenses.

Pretty incredible, right??

The MPP Program also offers the John L. Weinberg Fellowship to candidates selected from the U.S. Foreign Service and other agencies that are focused on international affairs.

To learn more about the types of students within the MPP Program at Princeton, we recommend checking out some of the biographical profiles of current MPP graduate students.

The MPP degree offers students an incredible opportunity to advance their careers and be an integral part of both the public and nonprofit sectors. If you’re ready to be a part of it all, then we want to help! Click here to schedule your free 90-minute Breakthrough Call with our team!

You will get to choose from a range of courses to design your own study plan. You will also take at least one course from a pre-approved list in each of the following areas:

Economics and Quantitative Analysis
Management and Leadership
Political Thoughts and Institutions

If you’re an applicant from a transitional economy or developing/newly industrialized nation, then you would apply to a special cohort of the HKS MC/MPA program known as the Edward S. Mason Fellows.

The Edward S. Mason Fellows Program

The Mason Fellows Program looks for motivated leaders who have a record of advancing positive growth and change in their country or region.

Mason Fellows come from a vast variety of backgrounds and experience. They come from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Eastern and Central Europe as well as the former Eastern Bloc countries. Click here to read the story of one recent alum.

The Mason Fellows program begins with a Summer Seminar that examines cases developed by HKS faculty members. Students will be able to draw from their personal professional experience to explore questions of leadership, strategic management, communication and data-driven policy decision making.

Students will then join the rest of their MC/MPA classmates in the five-week MC/MPA Summer Program.

Intrigued by the opportunity to tailor a world-class curriculum to your needs and goals? Then read on to find out if you could be a match for the HKS Mid-Career program.

What is HKS looking for in a MC/MPA student?

HKS is looking for those with considerable and meaningful professional work experience. This means that you must have at least seven years of full-time relevant work experience by the time you apply.

Opportunity Spotlight: NYU Stern Berkley Scholars

Hello! Welcome back to the blog.

Over the last several weeks we’ve focused on MBA deferred admissions programs such as HBS 2+2, UVA Darden Future Year Scholars, Stanford GSB Deferred Admission, and Yale SOM Silver Scholars. These  programs have been specifically designed for students who are finishing up their undergraduate degrees, but who would like to get some work experience before heading back to the classroom.

This week, however, we’re shifting our focus to a scholarship that supports current college seniors who want to get started on their MBA studies right away.

Sound like you? Read on to hear more about…

The William R. Berkley Scholarship Program at NYU Stern

As the name suggests, The Berkley Scholarship Program is a generous funding opportunity to support graduating college seniors as they pursue an MBA at NYU Stern.  

Established just five years ago, the scholarship is only available to candidates pursuing the two-year full time MBA, Fashion and Luxury MBA, or the Andre Koo Tech MBA.

How generous is the scholarship, you ask? Very!

It covers the following:

Full tuition and mandatory fees
Stipend for housing and educational expenses

$56,000 – two-year Full time MBA
$42,000 – Tech MBA and Fashion and Luxury MBA

Pretty incredible, right?

But how do you know if you’re eligible? We’ve got you covered!

To be eligible for consideration, interested applicants must have:

Graduated from their undergraduate program between May 1, 2018 and July 31, 2019
Graduated from their undergraduate program prior to the first day of orientation for their designated MBA program
Submitted a complete application to NYU Stern for the two-year Full time MBA, Tech MBA, or Fashion and Luxury MBA

We know you might be considering applying through the Consortium, so it’s important to note that those who apply through the Consortium are NOT eligible for the Berkley Scholarship Program.

In order to apply for the Berkley Scholarship, both international and domestic students will be able to check a box on their application to express their interest in the scholarship. What could be easier?

Although we feel the scholarship alone is an incredible opportunity, we should also mention that NYU Stern creates an unbeatable MBA experience simply by being located in the U.S. hub of business: New York City.

Click here to watch a short video of students at NYU Stern talking about how the city contributes to their business school experience.

Stanford Graduate School of Business: Deferred MBA Program

Welcome back to our blog, where for the past few weeks we’ve been focusing on you college seniors who are interested in earning an MBA.

In case you missed the last few weeks, we showed you Yale SOM Silver Scholars, HBS 2+2, and UVA Darden Future Year Scholars program.

For this week we’re heading across the country to Stanford Graduate School of Business so that we can tell you all about their deferred enrollment opportunities.

Stanford GSB takes pride in building MBA classes with diverse educational and professional backgrounds. They encourage students who are in their final year of study at their undergraduate institution to apply for deferred enrollment so that they can gain crucial professional experience before entering the business school classroom.

But what if you’re in a hurry to get that MBA?

Why choose Deferred Enrollment over Direct Enrollment?

If you feel ready to pursue an MBA based on your current academic background, extracurricular experiences and  impact through internships, then direct enrollment might be the right choice for you. However, Stanford GSB tends to think that for most college seniors, deferred admission is the better option.

Stanford GSB encourages you to apply to deferred enrollment if you feel you might benefit from obtaining some full-time work experience before enrolling.

This could be a smart decision if you’re unsure of your long-term professional goals (we’ve all been there; don’t worry!) or if you want to try exploring an industry before returning to school.

Stanford also advises that some  industries, such as private equity and biotechnology, do tend to recruit only MBA candidates with pre-MBA experience in that field, or with specialized knowledge. Management consulting firms also tend to prefer MBA candidates with work experience. So if you’re interested in any of these fields, deferred enrollment might make sense for you.

If you do decide that you want to defer enrollment, Stanford does expect you to be actively engaged either in full-time work or full-time study during your deferral period. They encourage you to pursue opportunities that will enable you to build expertise, enhance your skills and knowledge, expand your perspective, and develop professional judgment and self-confidence. They also ask you to state in your application what your plans are for your time in between your graduation and your enrollment at Stanford.

So who is eligible for the program?
Criteria for Deferred Enrollment

In order to be considered for deferred enrollment you must meet the following standards:

Graduation from a degree program between October 2018 and September 2019. You must be enrolled in a full-time program prior to graduation OR be currently enrolled in  a full-time law or medical program.
Your educational program must meet one of the following criteria:

Undergraduate degree program
Combined undergraduate/graduate program (pursuing bachelor and master degrees simultaneously)
Graduate programs which you entered directly from an undergraduate program. (If there is a gap of one or more academic years between the two programs, you do not qualify for deferred enrollment)



Requesting Deferred Enrollment

You may indicate in your application the year that you would prefer to attend Stanford. However, Stanford may choose to admit you for a different year than you request.  In most cases, Stanford will offer a two year deferral.

Clearly there’s a lot of value you can gain from deferring your admission to Stanford’s MBA program, especially  given that it offers an opportunity to gain some real-world work experience before heading back to the classroom.

If you think deferred enrollment might be the right option for you, we’d love to speak with you about your applications! If you are applying in the next 12-18 months, click here to schedule your free 90-minute Breakthrough Call!

University of Virginia Darden School of Business: Future Year Scholars Program

Hello! Welcome back to our blog.

Over the last few weeks we’ve been focusing on those of you who are still in undergrad and who want to get your MBA. Both Yale Silver Scholars and the HBS 2+2 programs offer students the opportunity to secure their place in business school, while also offering them time to gain professional work experience before beginning their MBA studies.

Pretty cool, right?

This week we’re keeping on that trend and introducing you to:

The University of Virginia Darden School of Business: Future Year Scholars Program

The Darden Future Year Scholars Program was designed for students who are either still in undergrad or who are pursuing a five year masters degree.

Apply Now, Start Later

Those who are accepted into Darden through the Future Year Scholars Program will have the option of deferring admission two, three, or four years in order to gain professional experience before returning to the classroom.

Admitted students do not need to state ahead of time how many years they would like to defer. After the minimum two year deferral period is reached, Darden admissions officials will reach out each year to ask students when they plan to attend Darden.

Who is eligible to apply?

In order to qualify to apply for the Future Scholars Program, you must graduate between September 2017 and August 2018 from either an undergraduate program or a five year masters program.

The admissions committee looks for exceptional students who aspire to be future ethical leaders and managers in a global world. Darden encourages students from backgrounds other than business to apply. Darden has accepted students with a diverse range of backgrounds, including biology, engineering, public policy, and economics.

Why Darden?

In addition to a world-class business education, all Future Scholars receive:

A $15,000 scholarship per year of study at Darden — a total of $30,000 for the two-year MBA program.
Individualized career support.
A personal alumni mentor.

Yale School of Management: Silver Scholars Program

Hello and welcome back to the blog!

Last week, we introduced you to the HBS 2+2 program. If you missed it, be sure to catch up on our blog!

This week we’re highlighting another opportunity to pursue a top-tier graduate business education even if you’re still in college.

Read on as we present the Silver Scholars Program at Yale School of Management.

So just what is the program?

Silver Scholars was founded in 2001 in conjunction with Yale University’s tercentennial (yep, Yale is over 300 years old!) and the 25th anniversary of Yale School of Management.

The program takes place over three years and is designed specifically for those who have recently graduated from their undergraduate institutions.

In the first year of study, students spend their time developing foundational business skills and learning the mindset of a manager by participating in Yale SOM’s core curriculum.  This allows students to develop management and analytical skills before they begin their second year.

The second year is dedicated to a full time internship. This internship will help students put their business education into practice, develop crucial leadership skills, and help to give students a competitive edge when they pursue a permanent position after graduating from the Silver Scholars program.

Silver Scholars have pursued internships at a wide range of prestigious private, public and nonprofit organizations, including Booz Allen Hamilton, Boston Consulting Group, CARE, Coca-Cola, Dow Jones, Motorola, Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, Pfizer, Time Inc., the U.S. State Department, and Vanguard.

As you can see, being a Silver Scholar can open you up to world of opportunity, both during and after the program!

Graduates have secured full-time positions at Barclays Capital, Boston Consulting Group, British Petroleum, Citigroup, Google, Kimberly-Clark, Mercy Corps, the New York Times Company, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the U.S. Treasury.

For the third year, students return to Yale’s campus to conclude their MBA studies by taking electives focused on their interests and future career goals.

Sounds like a pretty incredible opportunity to us!

So just who is the Silver Scholars Program looking for?

Yale seeks scholars of intelligence and common sense, who possess maturity and curiosity, passion and compassion. They want students who have distinguished themselves and made a difference  in their particular field of interest. The Silver Scholars are looking for college seniors who will be future leaders in the business, government, and nonprofit sectors.

Click here to read the profile of a student who graduated from the Silver Scholars Program in 2015.

So how do I apply, you ask??

Aspiring Silver Scholars must fill out the same application as those wishing to gain admittance to the full-time MBA program at Yale SOM. However there are a few additional instructions for those wishing to apply to the program:

Only current college seniors are eligible to apply. This means that your graduation date must be on or after December 1st, 2018.
Silver Scholars must provide two letters of recommendation: one letter from an academic instructor and one letter from an employer (if you have no work experience, than you may secure a letter from an extracurricular activity or volunteer organization in which you have actively been involved).

If invited to interview, applicants will attend a half-hour interview with one or more members of the Silver Scholars Committee. The interview will focus on your personal goals and interests, and your academic background.

International students are welcome to apply!

For the Work Experience section of the application: Do not list any work experience that took place during your undergraduate studies; instead, be sure to include them in your resume.

For the Activities section of the application: You may use this space to highlight up to two activities to which you dedicate a significant amount of time outside of class. You may include additional activities on your resume.

For additional information, check out Yale SOM’s Silver Scholars Program brochure.

Harvard Business School 2+2 Program

Are you a college student looking to fast track your way into the business world? If your answer was yes, then this is the blog series for you!

Over the next few weeks we’ll introduce you to top-tier MBA programs that you can apply to while you pursue your undergraduate degree.  

First up, we’re introducing you to the HBS 2 2 program. Our founder, Kaneisha Grayson, was part of the inaugural 2 2 class and she testifies to the transformative experience this program offers.

How transformative you ask? At Harvard Kaneisha leveraged her business skills to win a grant through the Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship at HBS.  She used the grant to launch The Art of Applying!

Not only can this program launch into a successful business career, it could even help you launch your own venture. Have we piqued your interest? I thought so!

The Harvard Business School 2 2 Program

So how does the HBS 2 2 program work?

Upon graduation from their current program, admitted students to the 2 2 program will spend a minimum of two years (or a maximum of four years) working in a professional position in the public, private, or non-profit sector. This allows students the time to gain work experience which helps them figure out their future career path and enhances their contributions to the HBS experience. Students then return to the classroom and complete their two year MBA from the world-renowned faculty at Harvard Business School.

The HBS 2 2 Program was initially designed to focus on those students who did not major in business during their undergraduate studies, but now is open to students of all backgrounds, including those who have studied business previously.

To learn more about the 2 2 Program from real students, be sure to check out this webinar.

So how do you know if you’re eligible? We’ve got you covered.

Eligibility

You are eligible to apply for the current application season of the  2 2 program if you are in your final year of study within any of the following types of programs:

Bachelor Degree Programs
Joint Bachelor/Graduate Degree Programs
Graduate Degree Programs – as long as you have not held a full-time work position. To be eligible for the 2 2 program, candidates need to have gone directly from undergraduate to graduate school. (Unfortunately, students enrolled in PhD programs, law school or medical school are not eligible for 2 2.)

In order to be considered for the class of 2023 (entering Fall 2021), you must graduate from your program between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019.

So just what is HBS looking for in their 2 2 Program candidates?

They are looking for innovative thinkers who have demonstrated leadership and analytical skills and those who want to develop their knowledge and passion to make a difference in the world.
