B-Schooled: Get Your MBA Admit

22-05-2024 • 21分

This episode is specially designed for applicants from military backgrounds… but if you think this is JUST for applicants from military backgrounds, you are WRONG.

This episode is for *anyone* applying to business school from a nontraditional background.

Today our host Chandler will be joined by SBC Consultant Margaret who has been working with MBA applicants—with a special focus on military applicants—since 2000. Margaret has successfully worked with every type of client imaginable, with a very high percentage receiving merit scholarships. Her clients can now be found on the alumni rosters of every top school.

Last week -- In part one of this conversation -- Margaret and I discussed:

  • Common misconceptions applicants from military backgrounds have about applying to business school,
  • Unique application assets many military applicants have (and how to leverage these), and
  • Common pitfalls applicants from military backgrounds should avoid.

And today – in part two of this conversation – we will continue the conversation to cover a range of additional topics, including:

  • The best advice Margaret has for applicants from military (and other nontraditional) backgrounds,
  • Success stories from military applicants (and how these can help you in your own applications), and
  • Some special secret advice for applicants from military backgrounds.

This is a "must-listen" episode for military applicants... or any applicant from a "non-traditional" MBA background.
