What have you been told about applying to business school? With the advent of chat rooms and blogs, armchair \u201cexperts\u201d often unintentionally propagate MBA admissions myths, which can linger and undermine your confidence as an applicant. Some applicants are led to believe, for example, that schools want a specific \u201ctype\u201d of candidate and\/or expect certain GMAT scores and GPAs.

Join Jeremy Shinewald, founder of our Admissions Consultant partner firm, mbaMission, as he debunks these and other myths, strives to alleviate your anxiety about the admissions process and refocuses you on your applications.<\/p>\n
