It was late December, and just as others in North America were winding down and taking time off to celebrate the holidays, my email went into overdrive.
Worried, sometimes panicked, MBA candidates were facing the reality that the MBA application deadlines are days away and their actual application was not nearly as ready as they thought it would be.
They thought things were coming together. They had done the work, they thought. They had brainstormed their essays! They had spent weeks browsing the online forums. But when the deadlines loomed, one thing became clear. They had missed taking consistent action, week after week. They were behind.
They were all referred to me by their friends. The ones who by that point had been working with me for months. Or had already gotten admitted last year. “You need to talk to Petia”, they had been told.
I helped them over the finish line as best as I could. As they kept saying, time and time again, “I wish I had found you earlier”, I couldn’t help but think, “So do I”.
Because there is a limit to what I can do when the runway is short.
But right now, Round 1 is months away. You have the gift of a clean slate and a long runway.
So consider this a message from your future self. Contrary to popular opinion, quitting is for winners.
Quitting thinking that you have no choice but to navigate the MBA application alone and feeling overwhelmed, that is. Or going the low-cost route only to find yourself alone as you struggle to figure out how the advice applies to YOU (and being made to feel bad for needing hand-holding).
You deserve to have your hand held! No one should climb the MBA application learning curve alone. Or worse, learn by trial and error.
In just weeks, there will be a new, entirely unique place for MBA candidates!
MBA Application Boost Camp is an interactive four-week online program.
A place where you can work directly with me, a former Dean of MBA Admissions, dedicated to helping aspiring candidates get admitted to the business school of their dreams.
Interactive means you will have a space, every single week, where I will show up live for you and not simply teach you all you need to know about the MBA application process but also help you apply this knowledge.
Online means you will have access to all the lessons, frameworks, and case studies 24/7 (on any device and through a pretty neat app, too!)
The result of this digital platform with an actual, live human connection and experience built in? You learn the skills and strategies to create an outstanding MBA application without feeling overwhelmed or confused about your next steps.
