Vital tips for successfully applying for the business school you want
By Matt Symonds
Research, research, research
• At international business school fairs such as the QS World MBA Tour.
• Online (schools’ own websites) and, if possible, in person, by visiting campuses.
• The QS Scorecard at www.topmba.com allows you to draw up a personalised ranking of schools based on your individual needs, goals and preferences.
Take the tests
• Take the GMAT and TOEFL tests (the standard application test for many major schools and the key assessment of your command of English – essential for most international programmes) and have the scores sent to target schools.
• Prepare between one and six months ahead of taking the tests, depending on your initial level.
Application essays
• Start work in advance.
• Brainstorm achievements, strengths and weaknesses.
• Define your goals and objectives in choosing to do an MBA.
• Draft essays and have friends and colleagues, whose opinions you value, re-read for an honest evaluation.
• Consider working with an MBA consultant to sharpen the focus of your work.
Letters of recommendation
• Get organised in advance by selecting and approaching the right individuals.
• Remind them of your achievements, provide them with a draft of your application dossier as a guide for continuity and establish clear and reasonable deadlines for completion (six to eight weeks).
Exam transcripts
• Request your undergraduate transcripts and allow at least two months.
• Check with target business schools whether they require translations.
Post application
• Allow time for package to arrive by the schools’ deadlines and always request return receipt.
• Keep photocopies for your records.
• Apply early, and be organised. The earlier you complete your application the better your chances of admission.
The majority of schools use rounds of application, determining three deadlines, typically November, January and March for a September class start.
The bottom line has to be to apply to a school when you have a great dossier ready. If meeting the November deadline means a poorly prepared GMAT test, with hurried essays that lack definition and impact, you’d be better waiting for the next round.
Also, bear in mind that many schools receive huge numbers of applications in the last 24 hours before the final deadline – at a time when there are only a handful of places left.
