Admissions to top-tier B-schools are extremely competitive, thus candidates must stand out from the competition in their applications by impressing the AdComs with their essays and general applications. Perfect grades combined with volunteer work and a full extracurricular schedule may be helpful, but they won't guarantee you a spot at these prestigious business schools.
A few reasons why an application might be dinged are as follows
* The applicant did not give the application enough time ( Applicants rushed through the application in a few days)
* Having trouble coming up with a good rationale for your MBA?
* Inability to highlight goal collinearity.
* Did not use the appropriate leadership examples.
* Failed to effectively emphasize the strengths.
* Generic post-MBA objectives include product management or consulting.
* The applicants didn't emphasize anything particularly special about themselves.
* The applicant is unable to distinguish between stories that are valuable and those that are not.
* Instead of coming up with a plan, they just started writing the essays.
* Uncertainty surrounds the applicant's USP.
Getting dinged does not imply that you are a bad applicant, It simply means that, for some reason AdCom did not find you interesting for their program. You must investigate these potential causes further. The only way to go is to reevaluate your applications and fill in the gaps once you've determined them. (or the potential reasons they may have thought you were inadequate).
This dilemma is now much more perplexing for the reapplicants; the reason being is they don't know why they were dinged or how they might improve their application to be successful reapplicants.
We at MBA and Beyond might help you bridge this gap. Our team of profile experts might just help you dig in the exact reason which led you being dinged and thus help you improve your profile and get you in your dream B-school. You can read a real case study of the reapplicant - he got dinged from all the schools that he applied to but then picked himself up and applied again in the next year and got into his target school.
Feel free to schedule a free profile evaluation call with us at your convenience.
Cheers
