This past November, a seasoned MBA Admission Representatives
from Columbia, UCLA, Indiana, and Emory 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:
On work experience – “Students
in the classroom, will benefit from the insights you bring to the classroom,
based on the variety of your rich individual experiences,” Amanda Carlson,
Assistant Dean of Admissions, Columbia Business School.
Who should I be asking for my recommendations? – “Another good option is a client… they can
give an interesting perspective into your performance and leadership
capabilities,” Lindsay Haselton, Associate Director of MBA Admissions, UCLA
Anderson School of Management.
On essays – “We learn
about you by looking at your resume and the information you provide in your
application…but the question I ask myself after reading an applicant’s essays
is, have I learned anything more about this applicant, now that I have read
their essays? … I want to be left with the feeling that this is someone I
really want to have in our program,” Jim Holmen, Director of Admissions and
Financial Aid, Kelley School of Business at Indiana.
On GPA & GMAT – “We
are looking to see that you are prepared for the rigor of our program,” Libby
Livingston, Director of MBA Admissions, Goizueta Business School at Emory.
