Admission to a
Selective MBA Program is Extremely Competitive
Last year, Columbia Business School claimed that over 80%
of their applicants had the academic ability, as demonstrated by their GMAT
scores and GPAs, to handle their coursework. You will not get into a top-ranked
MBA program just on the basis of a GMAT score and undergraduate transcript.
The 'median' (50 percentile) applicant at a top business
school presents a pretty solid candidacy. He or she has a good GMAT score and
GPA. The same can be said of the work experience and extracurricular activities.
He or she also has well-written essays that contain decent
reasons for why an MBA, why that particular MBA program, diversity, future
career goals, etc. He or she will also present good essays to answer such tricky
questions as the biggest professional failure and ethical dilemma.
This applicant will always be rejected though. It is
extremely difficult to imagine a scenario where applications will decline to the
point that the top business schools would ever accept 50% of their applicants.
Let AdmissionsConsultants® Be Your Competitive
Advantage
The admissions committees at the selective programs are
always looking for reasons to reject applicants. Quite simply, they just receive
too many highly-qualified applications each year.
Successful applicants will:
-
Have strong overall themes,
or strategies, for their applications including well thought-out reasons for
wanting an MBA, wanting an MBA now, attending a particular business school,
future career goals, etc.
-
Demonstrate they have
thoroughly researched the schools to which they are applying and have
realistic expectations for their business school educations
- Successfully differentiate themselves from the other
applicants along multiple dimensions and pack a powerful 'wow' factor into
their applications
All of the MBA consultants at AdmissionsConsultants
have admissions committee experience from a top MBA program*. These consultants will provide you
with professional and comprehensive admissions consulting services. They will coach you on your optimal
admission strategy, help you select the business schools that are best suited to
your needs and future career goals, brainstorm with
you for essay topics, proof your essays, consult you on your letters of
reference, review your applications, and prep you
for your admissions interviews.
Why You Should Choose AdmissionsConsultants
They are a comprehensive admissions consultancy.
Some companies only talk to you about strategy or only proof your essays for
grammatical errors. AdmissionsConsultants is qualified to take you through the entire admission
cycle: positioning, strategy, essay topic selection, essay editing for content
as well as grammar and wordsmithing, advice on letters of reference including
the editing of these when the recommender allows you to draft it, application
review, resume editing, and interview preparation. They will leave no stone
unturned in their quest to maximize your admissions chances.
They have a successful track record. Their clients have
been accepted into Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, Duke, London Business
School, INSEAD, and Columbia just to name a few of the top MBA programs. Over
80% of their Silver Package clients and over 95% of their Gold and Platinum
Package clients got into at least one of their top-choice schools. Most of these
clients were applying to top 10 American business schools too! The
company has been around for over 7 years and its success has allowed it to
grow.
They offer an hourly and a fixed-fee payment option.
They are so confident in their services, that they will allow you to retain
their services with a payment of only 1 hour. Additionally, they will allow you
to apply the cost of that hour to a fixed-fee application package should you
decide to choose a fixed-fee and comprehensive payment option. (Their fixed-fee
services are indeed comprehensive and they contain unlimited contact with your
assigned consultant, unlimited essay revisions, and no hidden costs.) They don't have to
charge a large up-front fee because their services sell themselves. Indeed, over
95% of their clients do engage them for additional services.
They are very highly qualified. All of them have
admissions committee experience and, collectively, they have made accept,
reject, and waitlist decisions on tens of thousands of applications for the
admissions committees of the world's most selective business schools*. Each year
they conduct dozens of interviews with
admissions professionals at various American and international b-schools to
ensure their knowledge base remains current. They are also thoroughly knowledgeable of
the admission process as well as the post-MBA career opportunities that will be
available to you. Perhaps most importantly, they each know exactly what the
differences are between the median application and the top 10 to 20 percentile
applications that get admissions offers at the most selective business schools.
This is the experience you want in your corner as you go through the application
process!
You can have a choice of consultants. Another
benefit of working with a large, established admissions consultancy is that you
will have a choice as to who your personal consultant will be.
AdmissionsConsultants has consultants
who are MBAs with admissions committee experience as well as consultants who
have spent their entire careers in admissions. They have a Navy veteran and an
Army veteran. They have consultants with backgrounds in strategy consulting, start
ups, accounting, finance, marketing, product development, and IT. They have an American-born, native
English speaking consultant who has worked and studied in China and they have a
consultant who grew up in India. Their consultants live all across the U.S. and
they do meet clients in person
when geographic distance is not an issue. They probably
have a consultant who is a very good match with your background.
You will work one-on-one with your consultant but you
will still receive the benefit of the company's collective admission knowledge.
Working one-on-one will allow your consultant to get to know you very well.
Should your candidacy present a particularly difficult or unusual issue, your consultant
has internal resources readily available to him or her. In the very unlikely
event that your consultant was to become ill right before a deadline, there are
other consultants that can cover for him or her. You will not be dealing
with a part-time hobbyist.
Your applications are extremely important to your future career
goals. Let AdmissionsConsultants help you achieve your dreams.
