Re-Applicant Strategy [#permalink] New post   10 May 2017, 16:42
Hi,

I am re-applying to business schools this summer.

My first school will be Columbia - and the other re-applicant schools are Kellogg, and Tuck (where I've been encouraged to re-apply).

I am also applying to Harvard and Wharton, where I will be a fresh applicant. Thanks to some improvements in my candidacy (despite turning 30 this year), I believe I have good shot at these schools.

Need some help choosing a consultant - would appreciate a 30 minute call to host ideas and strategy to target the Columbia app asap.

Thanks

Thank you for your post. I work with a lot of re-applicants and would be happy to schedule time to discuss Personal MBA Coach in more detail and let you decide if the approach interests you.

Email me at scott@personalmbacoach.com and send your resume. Also see below for a blog post on the Columbia essays.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Scott

BB,

Did you take up the CEO offer at the O&G company?

BB,

You already have a rock solid GMAT score of 750 - I don't see any point in upping it. This advice goes specifically because you are not a reapplicant on most b-schools in your list this year.

I'd suggest:
1. research your career goals and their plausibility for post MBA employment.
2. Take up one serious volunteering effort rather than stretching yourself doing many low impact things.
3. research your b-schools well (NOW) and apply early.

Hi,
Hi bb10, we at Stratus would be glad to do a 30 minute free consult to talk to you about how we could work with you.
I had a client last year who worked with Stratus on the second year four school guarantee and applied early to Columbia and is there now. There is a lot to like in your profile and I can see you doing well if you tell a compelling narrative. Don't worry about being 30.
Focus on leveraging the experience you do have. To do a free consult with us, sign up at this link: https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com ... b-visitor/
