Starting your application process
With the right directional guidance and consulting, you will be able to turn the preparation of your MBA application into a pleasant experience.
The following recommendations provide guidance to MBA applicants in the first steps of their MBA application process.
Understand why you want to pursue an MBA.
This fundamental understanding is a prerequisite for answering all application requirements. You must be able to answer this question confidently and persuasively. Conferring with MBA graduates is a great way to receive different perspectives of "why an MBA?", as not all graduates are devoted advocates of MBA programs.
Select the MBA programs to which you will apply.
Consider program type - one or two years, part- or full-time or executive programs. Distinguish schools according to curriculum, rankings, specialties, and your compliance with application requirements.
Break down the process.
Break down the application process into its different stages. Prepare your CV, write your essays, and select your recommenders. Confronting the application process one step at a time makes it a far more pleasant ordeal.
Get a second opinion.
Seek reviewing and editing tips, either from professional service providers, or from someone who has a good understanding of the MBA application process and requirements. We recommend doing so as early as possible in your application process. Professional guidance may save MBA applicants plenty of time and frustration, and most importantly, make the application process as pleasant as possible.
