Mission Admission is a series of MBA admission tips; a new one is posted each Tuesday. We encourage MBA candidates to visit their target schools, because doing so can not only make a positive impression on the admissions committee, but also give candidates the opportunity to personalize their applications (essays and interviews, in particular—depending on the timing of the visit) and may even help them select their schools. But remember, whenever you visit campuses, you should always be on your best behavior. Although the receptionist in the Admissions Office is not a “spy,” and your tour guide’s main concern is not to inform the admissions committee of your actions or comments, both of these individuals will likely feel compelled to report any bad behavior to the committee. We spoke with one former receptionist (now an admissions committee member) at a top-ten school who said that if she encountered rudeness from a visiting candidate, she would make note of it and send a message about the incident to the admissions director—who would subsequently remove the candidate from consideration for admission. Although we imagine most candidates plan to be on their best behavior during any school visit, we nevertheless offer this important reminder.

In this weekly series, our friends at MBA Career Coaches will be dispensing invaluable advice to help you actively manage your career. Topics include building your network, learning from mistakes and setbacks, perfecting your written communication, and mastering even the toughest interviews. For more information or to sign up for a free career consultation, visit www.mbacareercoaches.com. Proofread! Are we stating the obvious? We think not. We repeat: proofread! In a world where autocorrect and autocomplete do more and more of our thinking for us, any important written communication deserves a second and third look by you. And, any very important written communication deserves a careful look by an outside party. Ask a colleague, ask a friend, ask us to take a second look for you.  No, it is not enough to write “Excuse any typos—Sent from my iPhone” at the end of your professional communication. And, might we add that you should not write any job application–related correspondence from your phone—ever. Instead, take the time to sit at your desk and carefully craft your message, ensuring that your professional communication is truly… (wait for it)…professional! A serious typo, malapropism, or search and replace fail could completely discredit your candidacy. Please don’t send a letter to BCG telling them how much you are interested in working for Bain. But even if your recruiter is willing to forgive a much smaller mistake or oversight, when you are a job applicant and you send a “clean” email, letter, resume, proposal, etc., you are conveying a fairly explicit and important message: “I want the job!” But, you are also sending an implicit message about your approach to work: “I am on top of things.” “You can trust me with responsibility.” “I take pride in everything I do.” An autocorrect or autocomplete fail significantly undermines these important messages. So, pay attention to the details and reinforce the fact that you are a mature, serious, and deserving applicant.

 Many MBA applicants feel that they are purchasing a brand when they choose a business school, but the educational experience you will have is what is crucial to your future, and no one will affect your education more than your professors. Each Wednesday, we profile a standout professor as identified by students. Today, we focus on Sanjay Sood from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. Sanjay Sood is a professor of marketing and the faculty director of UCLA Anderson’s Center for Management of Enterprise in Media, Entertainment, and Sports. Sood focuses on marketing management, brand management, advertising, and consumer behavior, and he serves on the editorial review boards of the Journal of Marketing Research, the Journal of Consumer Psychology, and the Journal of Consumer Research. He received his PhD in marketing from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business in 1999 and was later recognized as a Marketing Science Institute Young Marketing Scholar in 2003. One second-year student we interviewed said Sood brings “a lot of practical experience to the classroom” and uses connections from his work with Procter & Gamble to enhance his classes. In 2010, Sood was selected by his fellow faculty members to receive the school’s Niedorf “Decade” Teaching Award, which is presented to professors who exhibit “exemplary teaching over a period of seven to ten years.” Five years earlier, he received a Citibank Teaching Award, which was also determined by his fellow faculty members. For more information about UCLA Anderson and 15 other top-ranked business schools, check out the mbaMission Insider’s Guides.
