Finally it&rsquo;s done! No more late nights or lost weekends. But just because you&rsquo;ve completed the app doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;ve done your best. Before you click the mouse and send it to the school, answer these 3 important questions:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Have I presented all of my key strengths with strong examples?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Have I explained or mitigated all of my relevant vulnerabilities?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Have I made a compelling case for why an MBA, why this school and why me?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re having any doubts, there&rsquo;s still time to do something about them. You can have an experienced friend or colleague review your application with an objective eye and challenge you on any aspect that doesn&rsquo;t resonate with them. Or better yet, you can engage an expert admissions consultant like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mbaexchange.com\/interview-coaching\">The MBA Exchange<\/a> to read it and provide <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mbaexchange.com\/mba-application-review-service\">specific, actionable feedback<\/a> that you can use to make immediate improvements. Or you can even get a former MBA admissions officer from your targeted school to provide a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mbaexchange.com\/MyAdcom\">written assessment<\/a>, indicating whether he or she would admit, deny or waitlist your application.<\/p>\n<p>The stakes are high. And you&rsquo;ve put blood, sweat and tears into that application. So, why settle for &ldquo;good enough&rdquo; when you can actually make it great? <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&rsquo;s a tremendous sense of relief that most business school applicants feel when they finish preparing an application and submit it by the deadline.
