For future candidates who are at least six months away from applying, Admit Advantage has designed a pre-application package to ensure you take advantage of this time to best mold and polish your professional and personal assets to be ready to compete for entry into your target programs. We will support you in teaching how to use this time to address any problems or issues as opposed to waiting until your application to try to explain them.

Additionally, if you have not used our application services and been denied entry into an MBA program, the denied application analysis ("ding analysis") may be a good tool gain necessary feedback. While re-applicants generally do better with their second applications, it is imperative that you show growth and not make the same mistakes the second time you apply.

Too many candidates delve into the admissions process without outlining a strategy for success.  The Admit Advantage team assists our clients in constructing a blueprint that outlines their experiences, qualifications and aspirations.  Through in-depth conversation and our proprietary Personal Achievement Template (PAT™) framework, Admit Advantage personalizes an admissions strategy for our clients based on their profile and target schools.

The resume is a critical tool, as it is the gateway into a client’s background, experiences and accomplishments.  Admit Advantage helps our clients retool their resumes to ensure their careers are clearly outlined in terms that resonate with the MBA admissions personnel.

While the various MBA rankings may be used to determine an applicant’s target schools, it is more difficult to determine which schools best fit his or her background and career goals.  Admit Advantage helps clients determine which programs best match their individual experiences, qualifications, and long-term career and personal aspirations.

Essays are the primary means used by admissions committees to get to know a candidate.  While strong essays are a true differentiator, helping candidates overcome subpar test scores, questionable grades or limited work experience, poor essays undermine an applicant’s MBA candidacy.  Admit advantage guides our clients through the entire essay process, from the initial structure to the final draft.

Recommendations are fundamental to validating an applicant’s career experiences.  Admit Advantage helps the client by developing an outline for recommenders that highlights the client’s strengths.  We also help clients select recommenders who strengthen the application.

Careless mistakes or oversights in client applications can damage applicant credibility. Admit Advantage offers a full application review to eliminate inconsistencies and redundancies.

The interview is a critical step in the application process and may encourage the admissions committee to accept borderline candidates.  Through the mock interview process, Admit Advantage supports our clients in honing their interview skills to seize the opportunity to sell their story, while providing the admissions committee with more insight into the relevant details of their candidacy. This process is often significant for candidates with limited work experience, inconsistent academic performance or nontraditional backgrounds.

Many of our clients end up in the enviable position of choosing from multiple MBA program acceptances; Admit Advantage helps clients determine the best choice.  If a client is waitlisted, Admit Advantage helps formulate a waitlist strategy.  If a client is not accepted, Admit Advantage will assist the client in obtaining feedback from the MBA program and provide a post-application plan to better position our client for future applications.

Admit Advantage services are not limited to admissions services.  On an hourly basis, the Admit Advantage team provides our clients with strategies for academic success and assistance in navigating their career path.  Based on the relationship that we ultimately develop with our clients through the application process, the Admit Advantage team is uniquely positioned to provide valuable academic and career advice.
