Strategy Guides
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 Guides to offer just this assistance. We’ve distilled our key strategic insights and best practices into a series of detailed guides covering key pieces of the MBA application. The titles in the Strategy Guides 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

Hi. I pivoted from litigation to credit research (worked with Evalueserve India, Crisil India) post my first mba. I did my mba from Symbiosis School of banking and finance in 2021. And altogteher i hold 6 years 4 months of work experience. I am targeting for 2027 fall. I hold an undergraduate degree in Law (BA.LLB (Hons)). I am looking for a change in roles/ geography.
Additional Notes:
1. MBB consultant w/3 years at the firm + one promotion
2. Took a secondment at a nonprofit focused in sustainability in countries below the equator (although have programs above too), including the one I am from (mentioned the link in essays)
3. Choosing to go to MBA for network opportunity to continue sustainability-focus, and inch closer to being ready to be in fields like impact investing (think MBB gives me general knowledge, but doesn't get me to where I want to go)
4. Will return to MBB because of sponsorship
5. Am worried about GRE; got a 158Q and 169V - so avg is around school avg, but the split is bad. Biggest worry here.
6. URM
URM with strong extracurriculars mentoring and tutoring low income students of various ages. Worked 25-40 hrs per week in undergrad which explains the lower GPA. Have led automation projects at work and should receive strong letters of rec. Goal is to pivot to management consulting at a B4/T2 in the financial services space since it matches my prior experience.
