Most MBA Applicants …
… apply to business school the same way. They have very similar backgrounds, use the same stories, focus on the same parts of the applications and hope to get into the same schools. Most MBA applicants are smart but here is the problem
Most MBA applicants apply to the same business schools and dont think as much about fit
Most MBA applicants write about making a difference but won’t consider a job in that field post-business school
Most MBA applicants are more eager to get high paying jobs than to do what they are passionate about
Most MBA applicants are persuaded heavily by money when it comes to choosing school and careers
Most MBA applicants don’t focus enough on the essays and overall story when applying
Most MBA applicants talk a lot about leadership roles in their applications instead of leadership experiences
Most MBA applicants aren’t afraid to embellish if it will help get them into school
Most MBA applicants don’t write a clear compelling story about who they are in their application
Most MBA applicants get rejected from more than one school
Fortunately, if you like reading my blog (and not blogs about “odds” of getting in), then you’re probably not like most MBA applicants
