Hi I was wondering does anyone have an idea about the questions on the AGSM MBA Excellence Scholarship essays. If anyone could shed some light on what the committee looks for in a candidate. Also if any previous recipients could shed some light of their experience. Thanks.

Hello Jello, Stav, and Burned

Congrats to all of you..I have also got admit in AGSM full time MBA...I m currently based at Sydney..Please send me PM..

I am applying to AGSM in R3 - October 3 deadline. Would love to connect soon to get some perspective from the folks who are already admitted?

Hi Anshul,

I am opting for a loan and will be looking for an accommodation in some of the locations around the college (UNSW Village and other areas). "Business because" helps you get in touch with some of the alums and students in college. And the school services also help you in getting an acco.

Hi Markesh,

Thanks for your reply. May I ask you then, how are you planning to support yourself during the course period( eg through loans etc) ?
Also what kind of accommodation options are you looking at?

Regards
Anshul

Hi Anshul,

From my discussion with the adcoms and UNSW officials, the AGSM course is pretty hectic with 2 week of breaks between each term. The total vacation time in th 16 month course period is for 2 months only (which includes the 2 week breaks and the december break). Given this info, it become very difficult to find part time work for long durations during the course. But if you can manage the hectic schedule of the course , then the options for both off campus and on campus part time jobs is open for you. There is no restriction from the administration on those. Hope that helped.

Hi Guys..
I too have got an offer from AGSM for a Full time MBA.
I would like know what do the full time students do for their income ie to sustain themselves, considering Sydney to be the most expensive city in AUS. I understand that before the commencement of the program they have to arrange for loans, which would cover all the misc expenses. However, I would like to know how exhaustive is the course work? Does a typical student time find to work part time? Is working part time an option at all?

Thanks..

@Cognizant - The problems of racism that you have raised are prevalent in other countries too. From my information this is not something that has happened to any of the student community at AGSM.

I got a admit for AGSM 2012. who got admitted, please pm me your contact details.

Puys before going to australia think twice!!
Violence against Indians in Australia controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
7.30 - ABC
my friends who were academically strong with international exposure met with several racial prejudices just because they are Indians.
China/singapore are better options.

Agree there were sporadic instances of racist violence in the past, but similar incidents have happened in US and Europe as well (racial prejudices and even violence), just that they go unreported or unnoticed. Even in the article, if you read carefully, it is mentioned that majority of the incidents were petty thefts and robberies generalized to racist violence. No offence to you buddy and thanks for the information shared, I still consider it as a safe country, as safe or may be safer than India, basing my view on the first hand information from some of my relatives and friends living there.

Ronnie987,

Australia is definitely safe for Indians - I have a lot of friends living there. If you are refering to the incidents that occured a few years back, I believe those were isolated cases converted to a "generalization" by the media!!

Australia has a very robust economy with lots of job opportunities. Besides the people out there are very friendly :p.

Hey sharemyhead!!!

I think it would be a good idea to include a professional as well as personal achievement in your essay-highlights your versatility.
In fact, I had mentioned two personal and two professional achievements!!;)

I had applied for round 1 and have got an offer ..:cheerio:.. Have applied for scholarships now .. lets see..

@ ronnie987,
I think so... Given that I've spoken to a lot of people who live/work/study in Australia.

do you guys think australia is safe for India students?

Hey Jello,

I'm applying in R2 for the full time MBA program.
I have a small query regarding essay 2.
Do I have to mention 1 personal and 1 professional achievement within 250 words or is it sufficient to work with one?
Also.. Zilch replies... Let's put some life in this thread!!
Cheers!!
