Hi Sul,

I'm so sorry to hear this - you must be quite upset and frustrated. But don't give up hope. More importantly, don't read too much into the admissions department decision. It usually doesn't mean you aren't suited for an MBA. Sometimes it means you're not the right fit for your target school(s) - and so perhaps you should apply to other schools. Or maybe you do have the right profile but just didn't communicate this well enough in your application.

The first step is to take some time to try to figure out why you were rejected. This can be difficult because schools rarely provide feedback. Try to review your application with a critical eye; it's also a good idea to get some feedback from someone who knows your target school well, for example an alumnus friend. Another idea is to seek advice from an admissions consulting company, like us at Fortuna Admissions where our team of consultants are all former admissions directors from various top business schools around the world. We are well placed to give you an assessment of where you went wrong. Once we identify the weaknesses in your application, we'll provide advice on whether you should reapply to the same school(s), or should give other schools a shot.

Let us know if you want to chat.
