Upcoming B-School Application Webinar

Upcoming B-School Application Webinar GMAT MBA Admissions Blog The GMAT is an important part of applying to business school, but it is one of many dimensions admissions committees will look at. To a greater degree than law school or medical school, the business school application puts a very large premium on the holistic “story” of each applicant. For example, a sliding scale of GPA vs. LSAT score, adjusted for undergraduate school and major, essentially determines your law school admissions chances). However, while a 90th percentile GMAT score is very helpful in getting into a top 20 business school, a poor story can really hurt your chances. On the other hand, a low GMAT score with a strong story can and does frequently result in admissions offers. Questions like the following are explicitly or implicitly asked in applications to top business schools: Why do you want an MBA? What do you want to learn while there? Why? What are you going to focus on while getting the MBA? Where do you see yourself in five years? How will the MBA help you get there? How can you explain your lack of experience/low GPA/low GMAT/ etc.? It’s important to have strong, clear answers to these questions.
