1. Assessment

The Client Assessment is a one-hour planning and strategy session for those applying to top MBA programs.  The Assessment is conducted by a former MBA admissions interviewer from a top MBA program. The Client will come away with a succinct view of how to address their application process and get into a top MBA program.

The Assessment will cover:

  1. School Selection and Candidacy Evaluation – This is a discussion that centers on the appropriate MBA programs to which the candidate should apply.  “Appropriate” indicates programs that make sense for the client’s background and strengths.  Sometimes the Client “knows” what schools they want to apply to.  However a discussion is warranted to draw out exactly how well the client is suited to the culture and profile of the desired school.
  2. “MBA Acceptance Equation” - This is a discussion of the Client’s current work experience, academic performance, personal passions and philanthropic pursuits, school selection, and logical fit with their goals.  It will be positioned from an MBA admissions committee point of view.
  3. Personal Branding – This is a discussion that describes exactly who a client is as an applicant to the various business schools.  It is used to guide the client, maintains consistency and creates a “personal brand” for use when crafting essays.  While many of the components are contained in this document, this discussion directly applies your background to the selected schools.

At the conclusion of the Assessment, the Client will receive a detailed summary document describing the Client’s fit with prospective MBA programs and what they will need to address in order to enhance their candidacy.

  • This includes an action plan and any homework they will need to complete in order to prepare for the MBA application process.

This Assessment is also an opportunity for the applicant to discuss anything they deem as applicable to the admissions process and their candidacy.

  • The Client is encouraged to bring forth any ideas for an open and honest discussion.
