Hello everyone,
I am currently in the process of preparing my MBA application and have a couple of concerns I hope to get some advice on. Specifically, I have experienced name discrepancies in my academic records and have a history of academic backlogs (KTs) that I need to address in my application. I am seeking guidance on how best to handle these issues to present a strong and transparent application.
Questions:
1 Name Discrepancies:
How should I address discrepancies between the name on my academic records and the name used in my application?
What supporting documents or explanations are typically required to clarify name discrepancies for MBA admissions?
Is it advisable to include a brief explanation of the name discrepancy in my personal statement, or should I provide a separate document?
2 Handling Academic Backlogs (KTs):
How should I approach explaining academic backlogs (KTs) in my application? What details should I include?
What is the best way to highlight my academic improvement and resilience in the context of having multiple backlogs?
Should I provide all marksheets showing fail attempts or focus on the final successful attempts in my application?
How can I effectively discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on my academic performance in my personal statement or optional essay?
Additional Context:
My course began in August 2018 and ended in March 2021, with several attempts required to pass certain subjects.
My name has discrepancies across different documents due to various reasons.
Any advice or personal experiences related to these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
[Vaishali D.]

Hey, Vaishali5
While applying for your MBA, it is imperative to put serious thought into addressing disparities and academic backlogs. When it comes to name disparities, you need to make them clear in the application, either in a separate document or as part of your personal statement. Attach supporting documents, such as evidence of a change of name or official IDs that have both names. The admissions committee will be able to see everything through this transparency. In relation to academic backlogs (KTs), be candid about the causes and stress on how you improved academically amidst hardships. Point out what specific measures were taken, such as seeking assistance and adjusting study habits, among others. Rather than the whole transcript, highlight only the final positive marks obtained from all academic records submitted. If COVID-19 affected your education,, then mention briefly in a personal statement or optional essay how you managed such difficulties. By discussing these matters clearly and positively, one can develop an impressive application that reflects their maturation and resilience.
