* 'GMAT + GoalPost' combo price is available for students opting for Classroom Group coaching only
Once you are done with GoalPost, it's time for you to move on to each individual b-school application. Each school is unique, therefore, your appplication cannot be the same for all the schools you apply to.
We need to Connect The Dots well for each application. Only then will you have a cohesive application that brings out the best in you.
There are 5 dots we need to connect well in order to come up with a winning application, namely
High scores reflect high intellectual capacity and a good ability to cope with academics during the MBA program. Lower scores may signal a concern to b-schools. We need to handle both effectively
Most schools ask for a 1-page resume. You therefore have to make sure that you pack in the relevant things and leave out the unnecassary
Based on the inputs given in GoalPost, you can now confidently proceed to prepare the draft answers for most essay questions in the respective application forms for your MiM or MBA programs.
Each b-school has a different set of essays. Besides career goals and why you wish to pursue an MBA, the essays may cover various other areas of your personality. You need solid answers to each question, irrespective of whether the permissible word count is 100 or 600 words.
Many Masters programs in Management may not have a set of essays. Rather, they ask you to write a Statement of Purpose in about 800 to 2000 words. This can be a huge challenge because filling in with needless info won't help at all. You have to be very specific here as well.
Once your draft essays / SoP have/has been prepared, we do the following:.
We do not write or draft letters of recommendation nor do we advise candidates to write them on behalf of the referees. You have to ask the person giving the LoR to respond.
However, b-schools do encourage applicants to discuss with the persons giving the LoRs as to why they need it, the significance of the LoR, and what the b-school looks for in an LoR. We guide you in this process.
The next step after getting successfully short-listed by a b-school is to appear for the Interview - either face-to-face or via skype, depending on the b-school.
It is a big mistake to ignore the Interview aspect while writing the rest of the applicaton. Therefore, everything we put into the answers to the essay questions as well as in the CV, is done with an eye on the forthcoming interview. Once you get the interview call, we guide you on the subsequent preparation and if necessary, conduct mock interviews as well.
