A Tough Year for MBA’s!

This is turning out to be one tough year for b school applicants. Not a day goes by where I don’t hear about a student who scored high 700’s on their GMAT and isn’t getting into school. When I applied, I thought my score would carry me through any application. It didn’t. What most people fail to realize is how important a well rounded application is. It’s not just about your scores. It’s about your experience, your management potential, your passion for the school you’re applying to, and a whole lot of other intangibles. I never realized this until I got to Haas and became involved in the application process as a student interviewer. It really gave me great insight into the process.
