What Makes MBA Prep School Different
A few years ago, a handful of clever tips and some light application polishing may have been sufficient to give MBA hopefuls an edge over less-prepared applicants. Today’s MBA application landscape is far more competitive! Take a moment to understand what MBA Prep School does differently than the MBA Application Consulting firms:
| Application Consulting Firms | vs. | MBA Prep School |
|---|---|---|
| Consulting by Committee You are handed off to a committee of consultants who don’t spend time getting to know you and have little personal stake in your admissions success. | vs. | A Dedicated Coach Your coach will be your trusted advisor throughout your application campaign. He/she is laser-focused on identifying and unlocking your full potential as a candidate for the top business schools. |
| Execution Without Strategy After a cursory review of your resume and (perhaps) a questionnaire, a consultant pushes you to begin drafting your application materials and essays. | vs. | Personal Branding and Application Strategy Projects begin with our proprietary strengths discovery and application strategy exercises to shape the key themes and building blocks for all of your MBA applications. |
| Document Editing You email drafts of your essays and your consultant responds -- days later -- with cursory notes or a marked-up document. | vs. | Essay Strategy and Storytelling You and your coach identify key themes and big-picture messages to develop your most compelling stories and essay topics. Your essays capture your voice, tell your story, and represent an authentic, impressive picture of you. |
| Criticism & Dictation A consultant critiques components of your application in isolation and dictates quick fixes. | vs. | Collaboration & Co-Creation Your coach reveals the principles at work in creating your best applications so that you can work collaboratively, not just blindly follow directions. |
| Career Goals Essay Editing You are expected to start the project with your career goals already figured out. | vs. | Career Visioning & Career Planning Your coach helps you discover your career purpose and dream job, setting you on course towards a more fulfilling and rewarding career. |
| You Are the Project Manager You have to drive the pace of your work with your consultant and manage the project’s timeline. | vs. | Proactive Project Management Your coach provides you with a clearly designed work plan with weekly goals and project milestones and then manages the project to assure you stay on pace. |
| Email Communication 90%+ of communication with your consultant is via email. | vs. | Interactive Coaching Sessions Interactive phone or video conferencing sessions provide an opportunity to workshop issues and develop creative solutions with your coach. |
