Michael was a financial professional living in Los Angeles, CA, who sought advice on how to get into Harvard Business School. By developing a compelling application persona and implementing a strategic plan to overcome his low undergraduate GPA, we helped Michael get accepted to Harvard Business School, #4 University of Chicago Booth with a $60,000 scholarship, and #7 UC Berkeley Haas with a full scholarship!

As the deadline for Round 1 approaches, we wanted to tell you exactly what Wharton looks for in applicants, straight from our Former Admissions Officers.

As deadlines approach, business school applicants might be wondering: “Can you get into business school with a low GPA?” To answer this question, we asked three of our Former Admissions Officers: John Lyon from Wharton, Stanford, and NYU Stern, JoAnne Goldberg from Stanford, and Aviva Legatt from Wharton.

In an MBA application, every data point matters. Particularly when the application pool continues to grow so voraciously as it has in the last decade. One aspect that’s often overlooked, or at least under-exploited, is your choice of school in terms of its alumni network and location.

We are very proud and excited to announce our new partnership with Teach For China (TFC)! After launching our collaboration with Teach For America last fall, we set our sights on expanding our reach and our impact. In this pilot program, we will help teaching fellows in China with graduate school admissions by providing them with free webinars hosted by our graduate school admissions experts as well as a discount on our services.

MBA programs publish their updated applications starting around May each year, but if you wait until then to start your own application process for the following year, you may rush to meet deadlines and fail to submit applications that showcase your strengths and talents.

AP: Advanced Placement or “As Possible”? We frequently get asked by our students and/or their parents: How many AP classes should I take to be competitive for US colleges?

When it comes to college admissions, it doesn’t get more important than high school summers. While other students might be relaxing by the pool or going to the movies, this is your time to get ahead, to make valuable additions to your candidacy, and to get yourself one step closer to the college of your dreams.

In this post, I want to focus on the process of studying for the LSAT and, specifically, the LSAT study schedule. Many LSAT experts write about the importance of having a study schedule for your preparation for the LSAT. No one would argue with that. What often gets overlooked, however, are two critical pieces of that process: (1) how your study schedule should be organized; and (2) when you should begin implementing your study schedule.

Applying to get your Masters Degree or your PhD is probably a trickier process than applying for any other type of graduate degree. Those who apply to law school know that – by far – the most important components of their application are their numbers: undergraduate GPA and LSAT scores, while those applying for an MBA are benefited most by a good GMAT score, a few years of work in the business world, and recommendations from former employers.
