Can someone tell me if it is better to work with an application consultant or can we go ahead and work alone on our application materials?

Hi, I had a little technical question.


For Early decision admissions, do I have to withdraw my applications as soon as I am offered an admission or I have to withdraw when I have accepted that offer?

it is important to be SPECIFIC about THE SCHOOL. So for instance, of course all MBAs teach finance, marketing and strategy, but your dream school probably has a specific professor who teaches X class that you know will just blow your socks off. Write that down and also write down how it will equip you to get to your short-term goal.

As a successful applicant, I can say that not everyone needs help from admissions consultants to get into b-school. Judge for yourself.
