MBA Admissions Essential #1: Application Preparation Pays Off

Welcome to our first in a series of MBA Admissions Essentials. If you are considering an MBA or work with individuals interested in pursuing the degree, come here for the official word on the subject. Come here when you need to untangle the complex array of information to be found in the marketplace or to demystify the admissions process.

MBA Admissions Essential #l: Application Preparation Pays Off. Let's start with the bad news first. Preparing a successful application requires time and thought. Forget the adrenaline rush of writing a term paper the night before it's due. Admissions folks are savvy and can easily detect last minute efforts. We'll talk more about this in upcoming posts.

Now the good news: not only does a well-prepared application offer a better chance of admission, but it provides one of those rare times in life when you are forced to sit and reflect on where you have been and where you hope to be in the future. So regardless of your MBA decision, the time spent in self-reflection is well worth it.

In future posts we'll discuss how to best differentiate among the thousands of MBA programs around the world, with an eye to determining which one or ones is the best "fit" for you!
