If you are thinking about applying for an MBA sometime in the future, and are figuring out answers to the following questions:
- When should I apply? This year or next year? How do I decide?
- How differentiated is my profile based on my personal and professional experiences and accomplishments?
- Which schools should I target based on my career aspirations and expectations from the MBA experience?
- What can I do to strengthen my profile between now and when I apply?
- What is the MBA application process like? How much effort is required? Where do I start, and what subsequent steps do I need to take?
The Profile Building Assistance service offers a simulation of the real MBA application followed by actionable feedback on how to enhance your profile in a structured manner. Our feedback will help you figure out the answers to the above questions and prepare you to confidently tackle the actual application process.
Who is it for:
This service is for applicants who want to apply to business schools 6 months to a year later and desire to enhance their profile in this time period.
How it works:
Step 1: The Mock Application
You will fill a mock application comprising a resume and answers to several essay questions related to your personal and professional life. These questions will force you to think deeply and write about your personal qualities, motivations and values, strengths and weaknesses, leadership experiences and accomplishments and your career goals. All these are key constituents in a real MBA application.
Several questions in the mock application resemble the essays that leading b-schools ask in their applications. So, writing these would provide you an experience of the effort and thought process involved in working on a real application, though in a safe (test) environment.
After filling the application, you will have a mock interview with our consultant.
Step 2: 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
- Extra-curricular activities including volunteer work
- Academics and test scores
- Interviewing skills
Step 3: Feedback & Recommendation
You will receive a detailed personalized report which will outline:
- The current strength of your profile on the various parameters outlined above
- Areas of improvement
- Suggestions for strengthening your profile
- Recommended list of b-schools
We will schedule an hour call to discuss the report in detail with you and address your queries.
Timeline:
This service takes between upto 4 weeks.
