If you have received a rejection letter from one of your top-choice MBA programs, you may find yourself doubting whether you put your best application forward and whether it is possible to have a better outcome if you correct weaknesses in your candidacy or in your application.
If you begin to wonder whether it is worth reapplying, a key step to understanding whether you can get a better outcome is to identify what the obstacles were to your admission. You need a complete diagnostic.
This is absolutely a crucial first step. Why? Because you cannot fix the problem if you don’t know what the problem is.
The list of things that could have been a “problem” for an applicant can be extremely varied. For some candidates, there might have been a problem with their academic credentials, by which I mean their GPA, GMAT score or TOEFL score.
For some candidates, the problem might have been timing: the Round in which they applied, or the week in which they applied if the admissions process involved rolling admission. For candidate with extremely competitive profiles – particularly candidates who are foreign national East Asian or South Asian men – applications can be very affected by the Round at some schools. You need to know what schools those are and make sure you apply in Round 1 at those schools. Applying too late in a rolling admissions cycle can also be a problem for some applicants.
For some candidates, the essays they wrote did not aid them in their quest for admission and they need to re-write the essays with much better content. That alone can allow a candidate to go from rejected to accepted at their top-choice business school.
For some candidates, the recommendations were weak. Many candidates do not realize that one weak recommendation alone can close the door to admission.
Too little work experience or too much work experience can be problems.
Your first step to applying successfully is to determine what the weaknesses of your application were and to strengthen those weaknesses so that you put forward a stronger application when you reapply.
