We recently
wrapped up our fall Forté Forum events and now offer a series of webinars to
further support you in the pre-MBA process. This week, I hosted our first “MBA
Admissions Advice – General Application Tips” webinar.
The panel of
seasoned MBA Admission Representatives discussed topics such as preparing for
the GMAT, work experience and leadership, letters of recommendation, writing
your essays & preparing your resume, and finally the interview process.
Here are a few quotes from the panel:
“We look at your undergrad record,
graduate experience, as well as your GMAT tests. The reason we are looking at
this, is the Admissions Committee wants to get a good sense of your ability to
handle the rigor of the MBA program,”
Patricia Harrison, Associate Director of Admissions, Tuck School of Business at
Dartmouth.
“One of the first things we look at is your
resume. I cannot stress enough the importance of putting together a polished,
professional resume that is comprehensible to someone that does not work in
your industry,” Soojin Kwon, Director of Admissions, Ross School of
Business at Michigan
“Make sure you speak to the recommender
ahead of time… and also make sure it’s going to be a positive recommendation,” Debby Herczeg, Admissions Coordinator, University
of Notre Dame, Mendoza College of Business
“The essays and interviews are my favorite
part of the application, because I get to know the most about who you are as an
individual through the interviews and the essays,” Kelly Wilson, Executive Direction, MBA
Admissions, Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon

the answers you’re looking for to make this important decision.
