Free “Ding” Review Offer from mbaMission

With this application season nearing its end, the time has come for applicants to make some choices. While many are now in the fortunate position of choosing between schools, some are suddenly confronting a different and unexpected question: “Where did I go wrong?” Each year, we extend an olive branch to those in the broader applicant pool who plan to reapply to business school in the coming year and seek to analyze their applications. Recognizing that many candidates have suffered enough in this application year, we offer to review one application for up to 20 applicants, free of charge ($500 value), hoping to provide some direction for those who plan to move forward and try again next year.

If you are interested in a free Ding Review, please send one complete application to [email protected]. We will randomly select 20 applicants, and if you are chosen, we will contact you about your free session.
