From a non traditional background (Law to be precise) with 4YOE initially beginning in litigation and moved into corporate finance. I could not afford a consultant, so I reached out to some students and alumni and they help refine my story + review my essays.

Note:

Dear International Applicants,
To increase your chances of receiving an offer, try to participate in webinars several times. Listen carefully to the admissions committees, as they provide valuable insights and guidance on preparing for MBA essays and interviews. Additionally, reach out to current students. I understand that it can be challenging to connect with them, but persistence pays off. In my case, only two out of ten student ambassadors responded, but their feedback was invaluable.
Also, request at least two mock interviews with them if possible. Beyond that, try to connect with alumni, as they play a key role in supporting applicants. Their endorsement can demonstrate to MBA schools that you are genuinely interested and committed to the program.

I mention these strategies because I encountered these challenges myself, and they helped me greatly along the way.
Best of luck!

Question about MIT Sloan

Anyone knows when the Sloan invites are coming out? Oct 28-30th?

October 25, 2024 1:18pm ET
Question about Columbia

Hi all! I'm curious, given the fact that CBS rolled out a big wave of interviews prior to their Nov 15th deadline for interviews - do we think that they would roll out admission decisions relatively early to their Dec 20th deadline?

For context, I interviewed yesterday and am obviously eager/excited to hear back!

Notes:

African American male - 28.

My goal for an MBA is to build tools for music creators. I joined a band during Covid and found a passion for digital music creation and machine learning, but I lack the business skills.

Top Choices:
HBS: Offers cross-registration with Berklee for classes like audio engineering and entertainment law, plus a chance to collaborate with potential users and experts in the music field.
MIT: Media Lab aligns with some of the audio breakthroughs I’m interested in

My challenge is a lower GPA. How can I offset that weakness?
