PREPARATION | APPLICATION | INTERVIEW | DECISIONS
INITIAL CONSULTATION AND ASSESSMENT
Send us your CV and we’ll give you a call to discuss your career goals, academic aspirations and your chances of attending a top program. Based on this discussion, we’ll determine if and how Clear Admit might be of help.
EDUCATION
Once you become a client, you’ll have access to our inside knowledge of what schools are looking for. We’ll explain the criteria that schools are assessing – based on your background. You will not only learn what schools are looking for, but also how various schools compare to each other.
STRATEGY AND POSITIONING
After you understand the way your file will be assessed, we’ll work with you to position yourself in an appealing way to each program. All of our clients fill out an extensive questionnaire that the Clear Admit team uses to craft a recommended positioning strategy. We’ll make sure you develop a plan for success – so that you can answer the vital questions about your career history, future goals and desire for an MBA. Finally, we will work with you to target the schools that best fit your needs.
SCHEDULING
Many great applicants miss the boat by failing to meet deadlines or rushing to put a file together at the 11th hour. The founders of Clear Admit have been there before – juggling work, applications and daily life – and we’ll show you how to set up a timetable to ensure that everything is polished and finished on time. Our clients are often shocked at the amount of work that goes into applying—which is why time management is so crucial.
MBA Applywire
GPA: 4.0 Undergrad (Business Admin/Accounting)
Work Experience: 8 Years as an IT Director/Information Security Director
Test Results: Hoping to get a waiver but am willing to take an exam
Targeted Programs: Hoping to get into Kellogg Part-Time/Evening/Accelerated Full-Time, or Stanford preferred but open to options
I also do have my PMP and CISSP, which are not relevant pre se but was asked if I had one before. I am going to get CPA once I finish MBA or part of MBA due to state requirements. I am also white and have owned businesses and do have copyrights and trademarks due to a brand I own.
Does this profile seem good enough? I did have one of the admissions officers ask why even get an MBA, but I want one, and feel they are valuable. Also, scholarships would be cool but plan on self-funding if scholarships are unavailable.
Short-term: Short-Term (Post-Graduation, Pre-MBA):
After completing my undergraduate degree, I plan to work full-time in management consulting or a strategy/finance-oriented role within India. In the short term, my goal is to gain rigorous exposure to problem-solving, business fundamentals, and decision-making across industries by working closely with organizations that are navigating growth, transformation, or operational challenges. I aim to build a strong foundation in analytical thinking, stakeholder management, and execution while developing a practical understanding of how businesses operate on the ground in an emerging market context. These early professional experiences will help me identify real-world gaps where scalable, responsible business solutions can create meaningful impact.
Long-term: Long-Term (Post-MBA):
In the long run, I aspire to leverage an MBA from a top global institution to transition into leadership roles where I can build or scale impact-driven ventures at the intersection of business, finance, and social development. Drawing from my background in grassroots social work and exposure to entrepreneurship and consulting, I aim to work in impact investing, social entrepreneurship, or leadership roles within mission-driven organizations, with a focus on education, financial inclusion, and livelihood creation. My ultimate goal is to create sustainable business models that deliver measurable social impact while remaining financially viable, particularly in developing economies like India.
I am planning to apply for Deferred MBA this year. I am currently in the final year of my college at IIM Jammu
