WRITE A COMMENT
I want to pursue an MBA at Nyenrode Business Universiteit because I want to complement my technical background with solid business foundations and by doing that I expect to have all the required skills to start-up my business and create a positive impact in the world.

I am confident that an MBA at this point in my career will allow me to leverage my experiences at the same time it will give me a broad and deep understanding of Business. I am certainly that this honed and sharpened skills acquired during attendance in Nyenrode will be effective and essential to pursue my long term career goals to lead change and impact in companies and society
The reputation of Nyenrode academics and professors in The Netherlands are unquestionable, but not only the name attracts me to the school. I am particularly interested in the program considering its tailored perspective, international insight and highly qualified body of students. The small class size is one extra add-on considering the special attention that we will be given and the opportunity to build long and lasting bonds.
Nyenrode particular approach to Business Education will not only grant me more knowledge but will make the International MBA experience remarkable to my life.

After finishing my Bachelor's degree and entering into the working world, it became immediately apparent that my BA alone was not going to take my career to where I needed it to be. I knew I wanted to return to the Netherlands to continue my education, and I knew I wanted an MBA with a strong international focus.
Nyenrode really seems to have everything I want. The program seems to cover every aspect of preparing me for a career in international business. I love the individual attention provided with coaching and mentoring. I want a program that attracts the best and brightest students, without losing touch with them individually, and I want to learn from my peers as well as from my instructors. I want to study hard, and then leave the classroom behind to experience things first-hand. The Friday program and study abroad modules would serve that need perfectly. I also like the emphasis on leadership, because I already know how to be an employee that follows directions; I'm getting an MBA because I want to learn how to set myself apart. Nyenrode provides all of this, in a concise 12-month program that seems to be an excellent value for the cost.
In the end, it's about more than just adding another degree to my CV: It's about finishing the program and feeling truly prepared to succeed. I am confident I could achieve this at Nyenrode.

Napoleon Bonaparte quoted that " Ability is nothing without opportunity. Ambition never is in a greater hurry ; it merely keeps pace with circumstances and with my general way of thinking. ". In my opinion ,Ability is a phenomenon that is partly gifted & mostly cultivated. In my case I have been well trained by my previous alma- mater like Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. the premiere technological institute in India. To complement ability, I am in search of "opportunity" . I envision a MBA from Nyenrode shall certainly open a wide diverse but unique set of experiences both professionally & personally.
I belong to a category of "spiders" which has a strong conviction of achieving its goal ,no matter how may times its fail. It has the attitude of never say NO. Throughout my career I have learnt how to build endurance like a marathon runner & patience like a Lion & ceasing an opportunity like a cheetha.
I believe my instincts will be polished by a MBA from Nyenrode as it can seed me the fine nuances of Business coupled with a international exposure in a global set up.
A sharp knife is of less use with out a handle on either one of its side, same is with a highly trained engineer with out a MBA from a Premier Institute like Nyenrode.
I have heard a lot of great things about Netherlands but nothing comes like personally experiencing it.
Last but not least, I hope I bring in strong cultural & traditional experiences from India and wish to be a qualified ambassador for both the nations promoting bilateral relations.
Precisely an MBA shall develop / instigate enterprenuial skills in a person. From my childhood days, I always had a ambition to become a self propelled enterprenur.
As it is clear one needs to be euipped with weapons before he enters the arena same is with a enterprenuer entering the corporate world.
I need a solid change from a corporate guy to enterprenuer guy . I believe MBA from Nyenrode will infuse the skill sets needed.
So I take this opportunity to express my gratified interest in pursuing MBA from Nyenrode

Is there a expected delay on delivering the vouchers?
On the info sessions we were told that Dickson Kombo would get in touch with us in the subsequent day. It has been 3 days already and so far I haven't heard anything about it.
Any clue?
Thanks. Fabricio

@ All
Did anybody already manage to receive the voucher? I was just checking on GMAC website and the vouchers could even be issued electronically. I am wondering if there was a misunderstanding with my personal address or if nobody else received the vouchers yet.
Honestly, with more than 1 month passed unfortunately this is not looking too much like a misunderstanding...
Thanks and Regards
Fabricio
ps: best of luck for all GMAT candidates that attended the webinar

Hello Fabricio,
Did you try to contact Dickson, the representative of Nyenrode Business Universiteit?
For his contact details please see the comment above.
Hope you will sort it out as soon as possible.
Please let us know.
Kind regards,
The IamExpat Team
Hey,
Actually I was in touch with Mr Dickson, he intimated me that it may take a week or so as there is some delay from GMAC.
Yes, the details could be shared thru email also provided confidentiality is maintained.
Yes. I got in contact with Mr Dickson and he indeed said in the beginning that it might take some time. I just would like to check as I am aware that if I desire to buy today one of those vouchers from GMAC website I can receive it electronically right away!!!!
I am actually not very hopeful that I can receive the voucher prior to signing up for my test which makes me a bit disappointed. If the voucher promise could never be met I would never take it up initially as a promotion. Saying that you will get but still might take weeks sounds to me something like "I'm sorry but you didn't read the small letters in the promotion"
This session was hosted on Oct-25, the promotion was created on 11-Oct...a couple of weeks is becoming a couple of months...It's a bit both for the school committee and the site organizing this contest that such mishandling is happening. Considering that the vouchers are probably on my name and that the same can only be used against GMAT tests the same might very soon become for me just a mere piece of paper that was once worth 150US$.
I hope my frustration is shared.
Dear All,
Our sincere apologies for the delay, we are doing our very best to sort out this issue.
We had hoped to receive the vouchers on time but we are working on an alternative solution and we will keep you informed.
Please bear with us.
Kind regards,
Dickson
