This approach can significantly reduce the likelihood of acceptance at top programs. Starting your applications a week before the deadline is <em>not<\/em> a recipe for success!<\/p>\n<p>An MBA is a serious investment in your future \u2013 and approaching the process seriously and purposefully can mean the difference between an acceptance at your top-choice program and either facing an expensive and stressful reapplication process or, worse, settling for a program that isn\u2019t right for you.<\/p>\n<p>You need to start the application process months in advance, well-informed, and with a strategic mindset. That\u2019s why we created a free one-hour webinar, <a href=\"https:\/\/reports.accepted.com\/mba-admissions-get-accepted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>7 Steps to MBA Acceptance in 2020<\/em><\/a>. In this webinar, Accepted\u2019s founder, Linda Abraham, will guide you through an action plan for the next few months \u2013 before applications even come out. What can you do <em>now<\/em> to improve your application next fall? Join us and find out.<\/p>\n<p>The webinar is free, but you must reserve your space.
