Why These Skills Are Your Golden Ticket
Admissions committees at world-class universities receive thousands of applications from students with high grades. They don't look for more students who are good at memorizing theory; they look for future colleagues with proven research potential.
The skills taught in this program—accessing real-world financial data from sources like WRDS, conducting rigorous econometric analysis in Stata/R, and structuring a publication-quality paper—are not just items on a syllabus. They are the hard evidence that separates you from the crowd.
This program gives you the ability to move beyond saying "I am interested in research" and empowers you to confidently demonstrate "I have produced high-quality research." That is the single most powerful statement you can make in your graduate school application.
Your Mentor: A Fulbright Scholar, A Two Times Gold Medalist
The Fulbright Program represents the gold standard of international academic exchange. My experience is not just US-specific; it is an immersion in the rigorous criteria that all top-tier international universities—whether in North America, Europe, or Australia—use to evaluate candidates. I will share the unwritten rules and insider knowledge on what it *really* takes to build a profile that stands out to any admissions committee, anywhere in the world.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this program only for students applying to the USA?
Not at all. While the mentorship is informed by my US Fulbright experience, the research and data skills you will learn are the universal gold standard for top academic institutions worldwide, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and across Europe. The principles of strong research are global.
What are the prerequisites for this course?
A bachelor's degree (or current enrollment in a final-year BBA/BSS program) is required. A basic understanding of statistics is helpful, but no prior programming experience is necessary. The most important prerequisite is a strong drive to succeed in international academia.
What if I miss a live class?
All live sessions will be recorded and made available exclusively to cohort members within 24 hours, so you'll never miss an opportunity to learn.
