About the MBA Admissions Guide
I came up with the idea for this guide when I was applying to MBA programs myself. While I was reading the essay questions from various schools, I realized that the questions asked about all the extraordinary and great things that you have done prior to applying to business school. The problem is that by the time you are applying, you don’t have time to change what you have done in your life. In other words, in order to truly prepare for the MBA application, you have to prepare years
ahead. Now, I don’t expect everyone to be reading this guide straight out of undergraduate but the more time you have prior to your application, the better chance you have of presenting the best possible image of yourself to the admissions committee. Please note that this guide does not promise any short cuts or “secrets” to help you get admitted. It presents a roadmap to help you prepare early and correctly to best increase your chances of getting in.
Who is his guide for?
This guide is for anyone who is planning to apply to a top MBA program. Ideally, you should have at least 6 months to prepare prior to the due day of the application. The additional time is needed to implement the concepts presented in this guide.
How will this guide help you?
The concepts in this guide enable you to do extraordinary things in various aspects of your life that the top business schools are looking for. By putting these concepts to action you will be better prepared to answer essay questions and interviews from the top business schools.
