Reapplying to b-school?

Betcha wish you had an MBA expert to talk to – someone who’s been through the process and knows what works, what doesn’t, and why.

Well, we’re giving you THREE.

Join us for our Reapplicant Strategy MBA Roundtable. Part 2. The first session on March 24th was so successful, we are doing it again on April 11. We will feature three of Admissionado’s best* MBA consultants – Kyn Chaturvedi (Wharton), Mark Lellouch (Stanford), and Dominic Dragisich (HBS) – in an interactive Q&A cyber-discussion with twelve reapplicants. (First come, first serve.)

If you’ve been dinged and aren’t sure what comes next, ask questions about the reapplication process, get expert advice and insight, and learn from the experiences of other candidates in the same boat. Strengths, weaknesses, preparation, strategy – unlike a standard lecture, the MBAs in this roundtable will be listening to YOU, answering YOUR questions on the complex world of reapplication and giving personal feedback YOU can use.

This one-hour event takes place at 8pm EST on April 11th. Registration is $15 (… but check the registration form for information on how to attend for FREE!). In order to maximize the value for participants, attendance is limited to twelve people only. If you’re interested in joining the best roundtable since King Arthur, register right away.

So you climbed a few rungs on the corporate ladder – and then realized it was leading you to the wrong roof. Record scratch: career change. Making this transition may benefit from an MBA, and this may be obvious to you. But first, you need to sell the admissions committees on your case. Do you have the skills, the vision, and the guts to make the switch? This case is not as easy as you may have originally anticipated—and is often one of the top reasons plaguing otherwise deserving applicants from sealing the deal year after year in their pursuit of that crucial MBA.

Join Kyn Chaturvedi (Wharton), Dominic Dragisich (HBS) and Brigitte Anderson (Booth) for an interactive roundtable event just for career changers, where you can ask questions, get feedback, and learn how to make your case for the adcom… convincingly.

As an MBA applicant, chances are good that you’re a successful, savvy adult. Probably you don’t believe in unicorns… or the Easter Bunny. But you MAY still believe some of the most popular myths about business school and the applications process… the kinds of myths that are so tempting, so obvious-seeming… they can come between you and an admit.

Admissionado Founder Jon Frank (HBS) has taken it upon himself to become an official MBA Myth Buster*. In this eye-opening webinar, Mr. Frank takes apart ten of the most seductive misconceptions about b-school (from the overrated importance of school “fit” to paying too MUCH attention to the wording of essay questions!). Jon will demythologize the legends… but far more importantly, leave you with strategies you will want to rely on instead.

India is awesome. They gave us Gandhi. The naan. And an abundance of crackling b-school stars. Unfortunately, this last contribution simultaneously makes it prohibitively hard for many Indian applicants to stand out to admissions committees – especially those branded with the “IT guy” tag. If you’re an Indian candidate looking for ways to separate yourself from the pack, come chat with us at our roundtable event just for YOU.

Consultants Kyn Chaturvedi (Wharton), Mark Lellouch (Stanford) and Eric Weisman (HBS) will be on hand to answer your questions, evaluate your profile, and offer tips for standing out from the (large) crowd.
