Almost every single Business School on the planet requires candidates to submit a Personal Statement. Though Personal Statements vary in length and in the precise question asked, almost all require candidates to discuss past accomplishments, explain why they want to earn an MBA at the school to which they are applying, and propose professional goals for the future. Because the Personal Statement essay is common to almost all MBA applications, we have prepared the mbaMission Personal Statement Guide to will help candidates develop a Personal Statement that truly "wows" the Admissions Committee and that increases their chances of being admitted.

The mbaMission Personal Statement Guide provides key tips on how to craft your personal statement, as well as multiple excerpts from well-written personal statements and two complete model personal statements. This document is free.

Successful essays - and well-rounded applications - must begin with a proper brainstorming session. The goal of the mbaMission brainstorming session is to reveal the experiences, but more importantly, the stories that make each candidate distinct. Most people, however, cannot "take a step back" on their own and truly list and discuss all of their most interesting and important accomplishments. We have therefore developed the mbaMission Brainstorming Guide – a vital aid that helps candidates draw on the full spectrum of their accomplishments, both inside and outside of the professional world. The mbaMission Brainstorming Guide assists candidates to generate the full stories that will form the basis of a successful and well-rounded application.

Many candidates simply update their existing resumes and submit them along with their other application material. At mbaMission, we strongly believe that this is a mistake. Resumes should always be tailored towards a very specific audience - the Admissions Committee, in this case - and this requires overhauling your resume to ensure that very specific characteristics and accomplishments shine through. Additionally, experience has shown that many resumes are not as strong as they could otherwise be, regardless of the audience to which the documents are directed, as resumes often mistakenly focus on responsibilities rather than accomplishments. Thus, the mbaMission Resume Guide provides vital tips not just for your MBA application resume, but for each resume you submit for the rest of your life.
