November 10: MBA Admissions Myths Destroyed (Online)

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 end up undermining your confidence as an applicant. For example, some MBA candidates are led to believe that schools want a specific “type” of applicant and expect certain minimum GMAT scores and GPAs. Others are led to believe that they need to know alumni from their target schools and/or get a letter of reference from the CEO of their firm to be successful in gaining admission.

Join Jeremy Shinewald, the president and founder of mbaMission, as he debunks these and other myths, strives to take the anxiety out of the admissions process and helps you refocus on your applications.

A Q&A session with Jeremy will follow the presentation. Join us for this valuable event that will be essential to your business school planning!
