Atharva Gore - From Pune To Vallendar
Yana Immis
A few years ago, I developed an interest in the German language and soon liked it. That is when I decided to go to Germany for my Master's. I was a bit late than others as I started my applications in late March.
Yana was with me throughout the process and supported me whenever needed, and managed to get me into the best business school in Germany.
I was looking for the following:
Top-ranked business school
Variety of courses to choose from
Internationality
Good career support
Since no one in my close family has been to Germany for study purposes, I was pretty clueless about how to approach it.
Luckily, while following pages related to Germany, Education in Germany, I came across Yana Immis, not knowing she would be the one to help me achieve my dreams. After writing my GMAT and IELTS exams, I decided to contact Yana. We had a small meeting soon, where we discussed the opportunities, possibilities, and my chances. Given my 'not so great' GMAT score, getting into a top-ranked business school was difficult, but Yana always said to aim for the best.
On top of my preferred university, I was also open to other business schools. Upon knowing that, Yana sent me a list of 10 courses where I had better chances, but again, the emphasis was on 'aiming for the best.'
WHU has a couple of interviews before the admissions team gives you a decision. Yana prepared me so well for both interviews that I could confidently face them head-on. We spent hours discussing how to best answer a question, how to behave during an interview, and what the interviewer expects, and her guidance is still valuable to me, and I am grateful for that.
I moved to Vallendar to study for my Master's degree at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management. When choosing a university, I would recommend choosing the one that genuinely helps you in the subject you're passionate about.
Yana has been both a friend and a teacher for me during my entire application process. She was someone who you could rely on and get answers to almost any related questions.
I am sincerely thankful for her efforts and help make this journey simple for me. I really can't wait to meet her in person someday soon!
Thanks for everything!
