Hi Guys,

Leah Derus, MIT Sloan MBA and admissions consultant here from resumeSTORY.builders (formerly fxmbaconsulting). I'm posting to let the GMATClub community know about a new three-part series of books I'm rolling out called MBA & EMBA APPLICATION GUIDE. The first book in the series covers MBA & EMBA recommendations, book #2 will contain story-based MBA resume examples, and book #3 will contain statement of purpose/why MBA type essay example). This post is about the recommendation guide.

Book: MBA & EMBA APPLICATION GUIDE: Recommendations - Write Your Own Professional Letter of Recommendation with 25+ Examples

The guide is written for MBA and EMBA applicants whose recommenders ask them to either a) write their own recommendation or b) create a recommendation outline (a.k.a. talking points) for their recommender. It contains 25+ full MBA and EMBA recommendations, several examples of what a recommendation outline (a.k.a. talking points) look like, and a simple method for structuring and generating content for your own recommendations.

It's 115 pages of quality material that offers ample recommendation examples for you to draw on (unlike other books and guides on the market which offer 'advice' but no concrete examples). PDF excerpt available here: resumestory.builders/wp-content/uploads/Excerpt-from-the-book-MBA-and-EMBA-APPLICATION-GUIDE-Recommendations.pdf

Learn more about it here: resumestory.builders/books/book-mba-emba-application-guide-recommendations/
Get your PDF copy of the book for $36 US here: resumestory.builders/services/book-mba-emba-application-guide-recommendations-write-professional-letter-of-recommendation-25-examples/
or
Get the book in print for $38 at Barnes & Noble
or in print for $40 on Amazon
It's also available on Kobo as an ePub

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions leah@resumeSTORY.builders

Has anyone here applied to the joint degree with application consultants? If so, which ones? I was considering Stratus and they are good for MBA but they might not have MPP/MPA capabilities and seems they could be charging me extra for this. Ideally I’d want somewhere comprehensive. Any advice from applicants would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Anuj,

There's no "needed" GMAT score for HBS. The application process is multidimensional and is only one part of the process. A lot of it depends on the strength of your profile and your essays. If these are weak, even an 800 won't get you in. But if you have demonstrated all the qualities HBS is looking for, even a 700 might get you in.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to submit the application if LoR hasn’t been submitted yet? My recommenders are likely to submit just before the deadline, but the app from my side is done and it would be a huge relief to just submit!

Coffee with MBA and Beyond

R1 vs R2: Ideal round to apply alongside GMAT prep!

Greetings Everyone!

With the Round 1 deadlines just a few days away, many aspiring MBA candidates have already started preparing for the round 2 deadlines! As they say, ‘the earlier you start, the ahead you can get.’ We already know that the admissions application process is stressful for candidates. It becomes much more difficult as the deadlines for round 1 intake approach. This creates confusion in a person’s head, and you may get so confused and anxious that you could even miss your application deadlines.

Hence, to help aspiring candidates navigate through the rigorous process and high expectations of the top B-schools, We at MBA and Beyond are organizing a Coffee Session to help candidates pick a rolling round deadline based on their current position. Let us make one thing clear: each round has its own set of advantages. So, applying to any B-school early, in Round 1 or Round 2, all depends on the depth & structure of your MBA profile. Understand more about the different factors determining your choice for the rolling admission rounds from the industry experts. Please register to join us for an emphatic session this Saturday!

ON AUGUST 27, 2022
AT 10:00 AM ET | 7:30 PM IST | 2:00 PM GMT

SPEAKERS-

  • Dr. Vinita Singh, Senior MBA Coach & Consultant


Agenda of the session:

1. What’s a strong profile according to adcoms if applying in R1/R2
2. How to pick the right schools and rounds to apply in?
3. Ideal time to start applications if you’re targeting R2?
4. Three steps to craft an admit-winning application
