Listen "Ep 53 | Underdog MBA Applicants Accepted at Top Programs "
Episode Synopsis
The MBA admissions process is, in many ways, subjective. Broadly speaking the top MBA programs want to see a high GMAT or GRE score, a strong undergraduate GPA, and solid work experience. But, there is no magic formula for getting admitted. In our latest episode of the mbaMission podcast, Harold Simansky and Jeremy Shinewald discuss the clients who have surprised us over the years -- the long-shot applicants who were successfully admitted to top business schools -- and how they overcame weaknesses in their profiles and impressed the MBA admissions committees.00:00 Long-shot MBA applicants who were admitted to business school03:48 Overcoming a low test score10:37 The importance of engaging with MBA programs15:13 Are you too old (or too young) for an MBA?22:29 Expanding your target school list27:51 Taking risks in your MBA applications34:01 Overrepresented MBA applicantsBook your FREE 30-minute MBA admissions consultation with Harold, Susan, or another one of our experienced MBA admissions consultants by filling out this form.Learn more about onTrack by mbaMission, our innovative, on-demand MBA application platform, and take our two-minute questionnaire to receive your customized learning path. ‼️Use code MBAMPOD for 30% off any onTrack subscription‼️Book your FREE 30-minute MBA admissions consultation with Harold, Susan, or another one of our experienced MBA admissions consultants by filling out this form.
