Upenn MCIT Program Details and Real Student Experiences - Dr. Arvind Bhusnurmath
Hi everyone, I'm so excited to share this video with anyone that is interested in MCIT at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) or even currently enrolled! This video is a deep dive into MCIT and goes beyond all the stats you can find already online. Arvind and I talk about real experiences of real students and he gives amazing insights into what MCIT is about and if you are someone that should really dedicate yourself to this program. Arvind is not only the director of MCIT, professor, and my past boss (I was a TA for one of his classes), but also an incredible mentor and human being. He's honest, extremely intelligent, caring, and humble (sorry Arvind I know I'm probably embarrassing you haha). I was worried that this interview-style video is too long, but I decided to do very minimal editing and just post it because I think it's just so valuable. I added timestamps though so please feel free to skip around! I really hope you enjoy it and find it useful :)00:00 Intro - Arvind 01:14 MCIT program overview 04:20 What makes a good MCIT candidate09:30 Culture11:47 Online vs on-campus + how to choose 21:19 Internships and jobs37:28 COVID-19 impact 38:30 Future of employment43:32 What not to write on your personal statement44:30 Application tips 47:10 Lightning round ______________________________________________________________________email: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaw-h/______________________________________________________________________Contact:email: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaw-h/______________________________________________________________________Music Credit: Bensound.com - Jazzy French______________________________________________________________________Links:https://www.cis.upenn.edu/alumni/mcit/
