The biggest mistake MBA candidates make about "fit" - and how to avoid it

The worst mistake I see MBA candidates make again and again is misunderstanding the concept of “fit” between their candidacy and their dream MBA program.

An astonishing number of candidates fail to properly research and engage with the programs they are applying to and understand how the MBA adcoms at these programs think of “fit”. And falling short in demonstrating fit in your MBA application is one of the biggest reasons candidates get denied from their dream MBA program.

How do you avoid being one of them?

MBA Info Sessions, Webinars, Virtual Coffee Chats - the schools have created so many opportunities to learn.

If you are one of the smart, proactive Round 1 candidates, participating in on these sessions can give you great insight into what it takes to become an MBA candidates who gets admitted.

If you’re struggling to figure out where you fit, join as many of these sessions as you can (many schools also have pre-recorded webinars available, just in case this is a busy week for you!).

You’ll get to practice identifying the DNA of each school, some clues to identify your best match, and the chance to ask questions!

Pro tip: Sign up to the mailing lists of all the schools you’re interested in to get notified of upcoming events.
