What is your best application process-related tip? Anything you found particularly helpful or you wish you would have known when applying to business school?<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Allie Medack (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

D<\/span>on\u2019t wait until the last minute to start. (Kidding! But really, don\u2019t wait). Business school applications are surprisingly introspective, so give yourself some time to truly ponder your reasons for applying and what you hope to gain from the experience. Your genuine excitement will catch the Admissions Committee\u2019s attention and help you shine through the pack. More importantly though, it will help you to focus on what you really want, so that you can be intentional with your time, energy and resources. And remember: You are a multi-dimensional person \u2014 make sure that comes through! It\u2019s easy to see the application as a chance to highlight your academic and professional achievements, but don\u2019t forget about the pieces that make you, you. Do you have the travel bug? Like to cook? Teach yoga classes on the side? Find little ways to work those things into your application.<\/p>\n

Max Linden (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The application process gives you an opportunity to reflect on your story and consider how you brought all of yourself to the challenges you faced in the past. Whether or not you are aware of it, you\u2019ve already faced many defining moments that show your character. Let it shine and recognize that it\u2019s all new to anyone who doesn\u2019t know you!<\/p>\n

Bingjing \u201cKrystal\u201d Yao (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Build the link between the program and you. When I started the application process, I thought about \u201cWhy xx school\u201d and \u201cWhy me\u201d separately. That is until an MBA alumnus told me that these two questions are actually intertwined. However, there two related questions to also consider: \u201cWhy can this<\/em> school help me to accelerate\/switch my career?\u201d and \u201cWhat contribution can I make to the community?\u201d I thought about these two questions throughout the whole application process, during networking events, writing essays, having an interview and even after I arrived at school.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jordan Hart (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do not be afraid to ask for help! While this process is largely an individual one, with each applicant making decisions based on his or her own personal goals, it is so helpful to talk to other people. Even if you do not ultimately follow someone else\u2019s advice, getting a diverse set of perspectives on the various components of this process will make you a stronger applicant. There are many people who would be happy to help you as you take this exciting next step in your life \u2014 let them!<\/p>\n

In every part of this process, remember to be honest with yourself. Have self-awareness about your career plans, your learning style and about the type of business school experience you want to have; follow your instincts about which programs will best meet those individual needs. And, of course, try to have fun with this process \u2014 you are in the beginning stages of a very exciting new chapter!<\/p>\n

Clement Le Royer (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Business schools are on the lookout for candidates who can successfully showcase their diversity of experience, while demonstrating consistency in their goals and motivations. A well-framed narrative will help you differentiate yourself during the application process, thus greatly increasing your likelihood of success. Reflect upon the defining moments of your early life, education and career, and consider of how these experiences play a role in your resolve to apply for an MBA program and to then transition to a successful business role after graduation.<\/p>\n

Chloe Stegeman (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t pass up the opportunity to connect with people. In the depths of application season when you are stressed, haven\u2019t seen your friends or family in weeks, or are living in some flavor of application-induced turmoil, the personal testimonies of students and alumni who took the leap into the MBA experience and made it successfully to the other side were beacons\u00a0in times of uncertainty and stress. For those of you in need of some extra inspiration today: You can do it!<\/p>\n

Pierce Lee (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is your personal positioning or brand statement? What is the MBA program looking for in its applicants? This is the process that MBA programs teach their students to be successful during recruiting. Identify your strengths, weaknesses, reasons for pursuing an MBA, goals after school, and just how the program to which you\u2019re applying would benefit from your perspective in the classroom. Use this positioning statement to craft a narrative through your application and ensure that every essay, resume, etc. points back to making that narrative stronger. Once you know exactly what story you are trying to tell and why an MBA program would benefit from having you in it\u2019s classroom, you\u2019ll be amazed at how much more confidence you have throughout the process, especially during interviews.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Temi Adekanbi (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I took a firm stance in not obsessing over online forums where other nervous MBA applicants are posting. I checked the forums from time to time but always tried to remember that different things happen for different people at different times. The application process is a great time to start learning how to “run your own race.” Focusing on your own journey will serve you well into the recruiting period and beyond.<\/p>\n

Cristina Wong-Namura (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make sure your application fully reflects you. Take some time and reflect on your personal and professional journey and think about what you have learned. Do not be afraid to dig deep! For me, I made sure that my highest and lowest points were transparent on my application \u2014 and I tried to make my personality shine through despite the word limit. That way, no matter the outcome, I know that I put my whole self out there. I had been thinking about pursuing my MBA for a few years before I applied. It took me a lot of effort, but by the time I hit \u2018submit\u2019 I could not have been more confident in my decision because I was fully committed.<\/p>\n

Teresa “Tess” Engebretson (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Give yourself plenty of time to step away from your essays before coming back to them. When I was applying to Darden, I was advised to ask someone to read my essay without telling them the the prompt. After they read it, I would ask them to guess the question, which\u00a0allowed\u00a0me to gauge the clarity of my response. Finding people I really trusted to read my essays and give my honest feedback was critical; they helped me ensure that I was\u00a0clearly\u00a0representing myself and highlighting different\u00a0dimensions\u00a0of my experiences.<\/p>\n

AJ Amankwaa (MBA ’20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated. I went through the MBA application process with a number of close friends and, my friends who chose schools based on culture and fit have been more satisfied with their programs and more successful with recruiting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
