Expectation Management As military officers, we are often told that we are “the best of the best” and that top schools like HBS/Wharton/GSB will be “knocking on our doors” when we are ready to ETS. These ideas get planted in our heads by our school professors, mentors, friends, and family. You might have even heard this statement at some point: “Don’t worry about your undergrad GPA - you’re a military officer! Graduate schools will add 1.0 to your GPA!” This is an example of the military rumor mill in its prime - who actually verified this statement? Probably no one. I would like to give you the following piece of advice: do not enter the application process with an ego. It is universally understood that chance and subjective opinion play a big role in college admissions, and the MBA application process is no different. An 800 on your GMAT does not guarantee you a ticket into HBS nor does being a platoon leader in charge of 60 men and women and responsible for $50 million worth of equipment with 100% accountability. Sound familiar? Because most of the military applicants are just as strong as you are as far as the military resume goes. I have broken down some key points I would like to encourage all of you to keep in mind as you embark on your MBA application: - Have a realistic school list: Look at your stats. Compare your GPA and GMAT scores to those in Sandy Kreisberg’s popular “Chances of Getting Accepted” column on Poets and Quants. Are your numbers in the vicinity of those applying to the same schools as you? It is important to know what industry you would like to pursue during your MBA and which schools are particularly strong in that field. It is not about “blindly applying to the top 5 and crossing your fingers that one of them accepts you.” - Find your fit: This may be the 100th time that someone has said this, but it is valid every time. You are no longer a 17-year-old high-schooler going to the best school that accepted you. You are an adult who has professional aspirations and a developed personality. When you visit your target schools, soak in the vibe and culture of the student body, and get a feel of what kind of people would succeed in their environment. See which one fits your personality best and where you can really thrive. - Lastly, do not advertise before getting accepted: We all know someone or friends of friends who are guilty of this -- “Look at my huge pile of GMAT books! #HBSBound! #MBA #GMAT #dreams #hopes #studytime #dailygrind” Rather than spending time choosing your Instagam filter for your study materials, how about actually opening up your books and studying? It is important to be humble because you never know where you will get accepted to or rejected by, so it is best to stay mum until you actually decide on a school. At this point, you will probably be so burnt out from applications that you won’t have the energy to brag, but you will understand the importance of being gracious and thanking everyone who supported you in some way or another during the process. Author’s background: service academy graduate, 3.3 GPA, 680 GMAT, completed 5 years of active duty with 1 tour to Afghanistan; will be attending a top 10 MBA program (Not H/S/W) this fall. |
