What does “taking ownership” of your MBA applications actually mean? MBA Admissions Executive Director Jessica Shklar breaks it down. 1️⃣ Dedicate the Time: A couple of hours a week won’t cut it! Aim for about two hours most weekdays and 3–4 hours on weekends to keep a steady pace. Spreading your work across the week helps you stay fresh and focused. 2️⃣ Use Your Time Strategically: Know your productivity patterns. Use high-energy times for intense tasks, like drafting essays, and save simpler tasks for when your energy dips. 3️⃣ Take Time to Brainstorm: Don’t dive in without a plan! Strategically mapping out each essay will result in higher quality and save you from major rewrites later. 4️⃣ Engage Your Recommenders Early: Share recommendation materials well in advance. You’ll both be working in tandem, making your entire application process more efficient! Ready to tackle those apps with purpose?

While we believe asking MBA candidates to outline their career goals can seem impractical—after all, so many students shift their goals during business school—answering this question thoughtfully is crucial. Why? It’s more than just impressing admissions committees; it’s about presenting a realistic story that shows the impact an MBA can have on your future. Admissions teams and even career services review your goals to assess whether they’re achievable, given your background and the current job market. Are you well-positioned to land a VC role, even in a downturn? Is real estate a viable next step, despite current industry challenges? These are essential questions for you to explore. Make your goal statements strong, credible, and authentic. #mbaMission #MBAgoals #MBAadmissions #CareerStrategy #BschoolBound #howtogetintobusinessschool #howtogetanMBA #MBAprep #MBAessays #MBAessaytips #Bschoolessaytips

Thinking of Applying for a Test Waiver? Here’s When to Reconsider! If your recent test score surpasses your target MBA program’s average, you’re likely in a great position—no waiver needed! Scoring above the average strengthens your application, so go ahead and submit your results. On the other hand, if your academic record has gaps, like limited quantitative coursework or lower grades, a waiver may not be the best choice. Instead, taking a standardized exam (GMAT, GRE, or EA) can demonstrate your readiness for the rigorous program ahead. Aim high and showcase your academic ability! 💪 Curious about test waivers for the 2024/2025 season?

Should you throw in the towel after Round 1? Absolutely not. Most MBA programs actually admit the most applicants in Round 2. So, if you are a very strong applicant in Round 1, you should be just fine in Round 2, when the dynamic changes imperceptibly but not that substantially. And if you can use the time leading up to Round 2 to improve your profile in a meaningful way—such as by pushing your tests scores up significantly or earning a promotion—then waiting to submit until then can be very much worthwhile. If you have any questions about which round you should apply in, we encourage you take advantage of our free, 30-minute consultation to discuss your options with one of our experts. 👉 https://hubs.la/Q02Vb9ML0 #MBARound2 #BusinessSchoolRound2 #shouldiapplyintround2 #MBAdeadlines #MBAR2 #MBARound2deadlines #whenshouldiapplytobusinessschool #howtogetintobusinessschool #howtogetanMBA #schoolapplicationdeadlines
