How do I increase my MBA Admissions odds?

Crafting a compelling career vision for your MBA application can feel daunting. How do you define your goals in a way that feels authentic and powerful? How do you ensure your story resonates with admissions committees?

Many candidates struggle to connect their past experiences with their future ambitions.

Without a strong career vision, their applications lack focus and fail to make a lasting impression.

There is a better way.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to craft a career vision that not only clarifies your goals but also becomes the backbone of your entire MBA application.

We’ll work together to highlight the stories and achievements that truly set you apart.

Your career vision is the single most important piece of your MBA application. Let’s make sure it’s not just strong—but airtight.

This MBA Application Spotlight is a Must Attend if….

You are applying in this admissions cycle and want to sidestep common mistakes that lead to rejection

You struggle to know how to turn your personal and professional experiences into a career vision that passes the test of the AdCom

You are an overrepresented candidate and need a career vision that highlights your unique path

 

DON’T LET A WEAK CAREER VISION JEOPARDIZE YOUR MBA APPLICATION

 

As a former Dean of MBA Admissions with more than 15 years of experience, I’ve seen the landscape of MBA admissions change. Career goals are the new black—they’ve become a non-negotiable part of standing out. Even HBS now requires a career vision essay, signaling that top schools want to see a clear and compelling future path.

This workshop is the culmination of everything I’ve learned in helping candidates get admitted to the world’s most selective MBA programs.

If you’re committed to making this year the year you get admitted to a top MBA program, I can’t wait to slash that learning curve and help you get there faster and easier.

See you there,
