Round 2 is approaching fast; you still have time to put together a solid application if you are ready to commit at least a few hours a week, which can be challenging when you have to juggle a full-time job and/or a family on the side! In this article, we will share a few tips to help you prioritize.
Step 1: Start with items that are not under your control
The first step is to connect with your recommenders. Their timeline is your timeline; make sure you agree on what needs to be done, and when, provide them with any supporting documents they might need (deadlines, resume, letter prompt, etc.). Follow up periodically to stay top of mind.
Another step you need to take early is to request transcripts (and credential evaluations if you are an international applicant, during the rush season, these can take up to 4 weeks)
Step 2: Create a GMAT/GRE prep strategy
According to Kaplan, most candidates who score 700+ studied at least 20 hours. I always advise my clients to test first to get a baseline score before deciding on an appropriate prep strategy.
If you are working full time, try to allocate 1 or 2 hours every night or morning (whatever works best!) instead of cramming 8 hours in a row during weekends, this will yield to burnout.
Step 3: Keep a notebook handy with you
The most crucial aspect of your application is your ability to clearly articulate your post MBA career goals and connect the dots with everything you have done so far. You will also need to dig into your past to identify stories, formative experiences that will highlight your leadership and analytical skills as well as your sense of citizenship. This process requires a lot of introspection; it may be helpful for you to keep a notebook handy to jot down any ideas that come up during that boring 2-hour zoom meeting.
Step 4: Take your GMAT/GRE before you tackle your essay
Standardized test prep can be daunting and will highly stimulate the problem-solving part of your brain. Essay writing, on the other hand, will require a lot of introspection, time, and to a certain extent, some creativity. Because these two tasks are so widely different, it’s best to tackle one after the other.
Step 5: Seek out someone or a group of peers to hold you accountable
Whether you undertake this process with the help of a consultant or alone, try to identify someone who can hold you accountable to help you stay on track. The application process can be lonely and painful at times, don’t hesitate to reach out to other applicants via forums or social media!
