Great question - short answer - yes. Long answer, you can use your template as long as it addresses all the areas that the school wants to see.

Here is one question which was asked earlier during a session (MBA spotlight) ……. I am the most confused person probably, I am confuse how to decide between a PhD and an MBA? Can you point out the primary factors to decide between the both?

An MBA is typically practical application learning, training and doing. It will prepare you for an immediate job function within various sectors.
A PhD is typically research based studies with theoretical and real world data, but less focus on a job function. Will have a laser focus on a research topic, preparing you for academic work, industry research organizations or highly specialized positions requiring this background/education.

Hi Bhavya68, I would give the GMAT when you feel you are ready and feel confident in a score above 700. This seems to be the sweet spot for top MBAs. If you break 700, its all about fit (for T15/Top 20).

You need to build in time for preparing your applications. It might be worth planning to take it twice. Once soon and then work on your applications, get them written and then take GMAT at end of November with room to spare for a retake if needed for January deadlines.
