MBAXPLOIT: STEPS 1-2-3 to a MBA future.

School’s process for Business School applicants is not based solely on the excellence of candidates, diversity is important to the admission committee, and schools work hard to make sure that they get the balance they want on their courses.

Although there is no “ideal” candidate, there are certainly a number of things the applicants must have in place. Given the financial and professional commitment involved in taking an MBA, Business Schools seek to see candidates who have done their homework and are fully informed about the school’s MBA program. Before you make your application, you need to know what the academic, professional, and personal requirements are, and whether you can meet them. Continue Reading »

With an MBA under your belt, higher salaries are likely to come your way. “The average salary, according to the 2005 Global MBA Graduate Survey that the council does, was $88,600.” But the challenge is how to come up with upwards of between $40,000 and $60,000 a year to finance your way through business school so that you can get that higher salary. So, you need to start considering the different funding options available out there from federal loans to private loans, scholarships to corporate sponsorships. And we’ll also find out if you can deduct your MBA expenses on your tax return.

I will like to break down financing to three chapters—life before an MBA, life during business school, and the aftermath with rewards but, likely, a lot of debt. Before you embark on the path of getting an MBA, you have to ensure that you put your financial house in order. If you have existing existing consumer debt, ensure you pay them off and avoid incurring major expenses. Continue Reading »

I began my search for business school last year by identifying those programmes that fit my basic requirements. There are two aspects to this:

• Your Needs i.e. what you want to learn and gain from the programme, the type of experience you want to have etc.
• Your Circumstances i.e. the practical considerations.

You will want to decide if on the content of what you want, what your MBA focus will be and the electives you will be interested in. Moreover, you need to find out if the programme runs where you are or want to be. Do you want to study in Europe or America? Continue Reading »

You may be in a fix right now about deciding whether to attend full-time business school or part-time business school, and there are many considerations. The learning experience, though comparable, is not the same. So, it really does come down to what your objectives are and how well the particular program meets those objectives. Moreover, you need to consider if you are willing to trade your present salary to go for a full time program.

MBApodcaster put up the views of three experts in a podcast. Two are college deans representing those points of view, plus a student who recently wrestled with this question. You may be surprised to learn it is not a cut and dried answer. Visit mbapocaster to listen to the full interview.

The children’s story of “The Little Red Hen?” is one that comes to mind each time I think of my Business School application process. The Hen found a grain of wheat (opportunity) and decided to make bread (MBA admission in my case). She then proceeded to take the proper steps to plan and prepare for her desired result. She planted the grain, tended, watered, and harvested it. This is nothing but action on display. She took the wheat to the mill to be ground into flour. She made the dough, let it rise, and, finally, put it in the oven to bake.

Some times last year, I thought that I would just sit down behind my computer system, submit my application to some of the top business schools and then with weeks receive my offer letter. I, however, found that there is more to it than just thinking of going to business school. My application process actually helped me to find out that, in reality, no one can the MBA admission on a platter of gold. You have to work for it. You have got to be at the centre of your application even if you are using the help of MBA Admission Consultant . Continue Reading »

Now that you have made up you mind about applying to business school, I would suggest that you start building your strong application now. Your application can go from good to better to getting an acceptance letter by a little knowledge and some fine-tuning. It starts with a clear action plan—not a check list of things to do, but a strategy to maximize your chances. Meanwhile, you need to ask yourself some questions.

• What do you want to do after your MBA?
• Which school(s) can you get in with your qualification?
• Where do you want to be?
• Do you have educational preferences in terms of whether you want a case study school? Continue Reading »
