How to Create a Competitive Admissions Application
Students decide to enroll in an MBA program for multiple reasons. Some students seek the knowledge needed to progress their careers, while others look to gain the skills to build a successful new business. Whatever the reason, the process begins with doing the proper research to find out which program is best for the student. The Economist says, “Finding the right school is not just about looking at rankings, or choosing one considered as “prestigious.” The key to making the right choice is, understanding why you want to take an MBA, and what you expect it to do for you.”
Wherever you start your search, the last step will be to complete the application process for the program or programs you choose. The application process varies by schools but typically includes completing the actual program application, the submission of required documents, such as GMAT scores and undergraduate transcripts, letters of recommendation, a copy of their professional resume and often, a statement of purpose and sometimes an admissions interview.
