Re: Schools providing CV review before application [#permalink]
@ domotron

i agree with u on the "Salt Intake" part..:-)..nyways u have any idea of any US b schools offering such services....true that they dont review the CV's that thoroughly but then again it can be a good starting point to begin the application process.

If you see the difference in response styles of the two reviews that i posted, you can see that Crainfield was a lot more specific whereas Oxford reply was more general...what do you make of that??

I have not come across any for US schools, at least not the ones I am applying to.

I don't think Cranfield was that much more specific other than relaying its TOEFL requirement frankly. These reviews really do not indicate whether you are competitive or not. I don't think schools really want to discourage applicants. Maybe it's a cynical view but they all want more applicants so that they can build a diverse class, make them look more selective, and, of course, take your application fee.

Definitely EMBA programs do this, but not so much full-time in the US (at least the top programs.) There are too many applicants and too small an admissions committee staff to do this.

You might be able to get an "informal" review over the summer when things are less busy. I've heard of this at Tuck.

Actually I forgot that Fuqua has the pre-interview option to candidates. It's more than just a resume review though.
