March 18: Live Seminar “MBA Admissions Myths Destroyed” (Boston, Phil.)

What have you been told about applying to Business School? With the advent of chat rooms and blogs, armchair “experts” often unintentionally propagate MBA admissions myths, which can linger and undermine your confidence as an applicant. Some applicants are led to believe that schools want specific “types” of candidates and expect certain GMAT scores and GPAs, for example. Others are led to believe that they need to know alumni from their target schools and/or get letters of reference from the CEO of their firm in order to get in. Join an mbaMission consultant at a Manhattan GMAT center in New York, Chicago or LA, as we debunk these and other myths, strive to take the anxiety out of the admissions process and refocus you on your applications.

All attendees of this exclusive event will receive:

  • $100 off any 9-session ManhattanGMAT course
  • Free access to a ManhattanGMAT computer adaptive practice exam
  • Free half hour consultation with an mbaMission consultant
