In the ultra-competitive MBA admissions process, it’s imperative that your resume offer an effective overview of your candidacy, distilling your major accomplishments to a single page while also offering a well-rounded picture of your background. From the wording of each bullet point to the overall document format, every detail counts.

About the Clear Admit Strategy Series
The MBA admissions process is a high-stakes exercise in marketing. Business schools are eager to look beyond a candidate’s grades and test scores to learn about the big picture of a candidate’s experiences, aspirations, interests and skills. While this presents an exciting opportunity, it also entails a significant challenge. MBA applicants must carefully evaluate their backgrounds, strategically selecting those experiences and examples that demonstrate their most valuable strengths and highlight the qualities that will resonate with each of their target schools. This core message, once developed, must then be presented clearly and convincingly across all elements of one’s application.

With more and more qualified applicants competing each year for a limited number of coveted seats, even the strongest candidates need every advantage they can get. We’ve created the Clear Admit Strategy Series to offer just this assistance. We’ve distilled our key strategic insights and best practices into these detailed guides covering key pieces of the MBA application. The titles in the Strategy Series will teach you to:

- Present your credentials for maximum impact
- Highlight your most salient strengths
- Establish a well-rounded impression
- Communicate clearly with the reader
- Speak to all of the admissions committee’s interests and concerns

We’re pleased to offer this guidance, previously available only to clients, to the MBA applicant community at large. Stay tuned as we release additional titles through the 2008-2009 admissions season.
