Profile Building Assistance

by wpboysnew

Who should take this service:

If you have started thinking about your MBA applications journey and are trying to figure out answers to the following questions:

  • When should I apply? This year or next year? How do I decide?
  • Do I have the required level of leadership experience?
  • How differentiated is my profile based on my personal and professional experiences as well as my accomplishments?
  • Which schools should I target based on what I want out of my MBA, my career aspirations?
  • What is my readiness to apply? If not, what can I do to strengthen my profile between now and when I apply.
  • Finally, what is the process of applying to B-Schools all about? How much effort is required? Where do I start? What steps can I follow to prepare a winning application?

The Profile Building Assistance Process: How does it work

The following steps are involved in this process:

Step 1: Profile creation

This involves building your detailed profile as a potential MBA applicant. You will answer several questions related to your personal and professional life. The response of these questions will range from a few sentences, to a few paragraphs to an essay. These questions will force you to think hard and bring out your personality and personal qualities, your motivations & values, your strengths and weaknesses, your leadership stories, your accomplishments, your volunteer work as well your short-term and long-term career goals. All these are key constituents in a real MBA application.

Several questions in our profile creation template resemble the essays that leading b-schools have in their application process. So, writing these would also provide you an experience of the effort and thought process involved in working on a real application, though in a safe (test) environment.

Step 2: Discussion

Our consultant will do a one hour call with you discussing your responses, trying to understand your profile, accomplishments, and experiences better. This interactive session would help validate and evaluate the information you would have provided, from the point of view of your candidature in a top business school.

The discussion would provide valuable insights for you, as you will learn, as an example, that what you considered as a unique accomplishment is not really as unique. On the other hand, another example you did not consider as relevant may be the hidden gem you were missing.

This discussion would also cover understanding your rationale for the b-schools you would have indicated in your target list. 

Step 3: Profile evaluation

We will perform a detailed evaluation of your profile on the parameters that are critical for b-schools, such as:

  • Leadership potential
  • Career goals and reasons for an MBA
  • Achievements and impact
  • Other profile aspects covered in MBA admission essays
  • Extra-curricular activities including volunteer work
  • Academics & test scores

Step 4: Feedback & Recommendation

You will receive a detailed personalized report which will outline your:

    • Current level of your profile on the various parameters as outlined above
    • Identified areas of improvement these parameters
    • Suggested approach for strengthening your profile and preparing a winning application
    • Suggested time to apply to b-schools
    • Recommended list of b-schools 

    In another one hour call you will get an opportunity to discuss the report in detail with our consultant. In this interactive session, you can clarify if any of the recommendations is not clear and also ask any other question which you may have.
