Hello GMAT takers,
I decided to return to this forum and share my MBA application experience. I have taken GMAT again but got 600 :(
I targeted Canadian universities and received my first admit from Schulich. I am yet to be interviewed by Queen's and Broad MSU(the only US school I applied). I am still waiting to hear back from Rotman. So here is a little advice for your application:
1- Network, Network, Network. Spoke to alumnus and show your efforts to the admissions committee. Use it to show your interest about the school.
2- Attend information sessions and/or events. Build your relationship with the university starting from the early stage of your application.
3- Use your essay and overall application to demonstrate fit the school. Make sure you will add value, explaining it with specific examples. Make sure school fits your career goal. Describe specifically how it will help you to get there.
4- Finally, you should remain positive at all times. Until the decision is made, you never know what the outcome will be. Use this time to follow periodically with the university. Show your interest and passion.
You should remember GMAT is only one piece of your application. It very important t have a high score if you desperately need scholarship. If not, with a little below average GMAT, you still have chance. You need to focus on demonstrating fit and explain how this school will help you to achieve your career goals. Well rounded application is key to achieve our true goal, MBA degree.
Good Luck! :grad:
