Hello Everyone,
My name is Tyler Cormney, and I am the Chief Exec & Co-founder of
MBAPrepSchool.com. MBA Prep School is not a traditional admissions consulting firm. We have created a series of how-to video courses and assembled a suite of services and resources to teach aspiring MBAs how to build an outstanding application. We've recently formed an alliance with Beat the GMAT and we are very excited to be joining this on-line community; we plan to be a valued resource for Beat the GMAT members for many years to come.
A little background about me, I live in Los Angeles, California in the same canyon where you will find the world-famous Hollywood sign. I have an MBA from Harvard Business School (HBS) and a Master's in Professional Writing from the University of Southern California. I'm now in my fifth season as an admission consultant, and I've worked with more than a hundred clients, helping them earn acceptance letters to their dream schools.
The internet has changed every industry it touches and admission consulting isn't any different. One-to-one admissions consulting is a valuable service, and I do believe applicants derive tremendous benefits from working with a private coach. The clients who benefit the most are those who need additional help with the "accounting process": identifying which of their qualities and strengths to feature on their application; the "strategic planning process": positioning themselves and differentiating themselves from the competition; and with the "story-telling process": sharing their life experience in a unique, engaging, and memorable way. What an effective admissions consultant does -- in my opinion -- is to help his or her clients achieve greater self-awareness and then to communicate what they've learned in the application medium: application forms, essays, resume, and interviews.
Last year, my long-time friend and co-founder, Chris Aitken, and I started thinking: what if we could use the internet to deliver a series of videos that would teach applicants the "accounting, strategic planning, and storytelling" techniques that top admissions coaches use to help their clients build outstanding applications, and instead of charging a few thousand dollars we'd charge a few hundred dollars? That what-if question was the genesis of MBA Prep School.
MBA Prep School teaches MBA candidates, our students, how to optimize the quality of every element of their MBA application: application forms, essays, resume, reference letters, and admissions interviews. (We leave GMAT prep to the excellent firms that you'll meet here at Beat the GMAT).
I think it's great that you have a knowledge-base like Beat the GMAT to tap into when you embark on your quest for an acceptance letter. My intention, which is shared by our entire team at MBA Prep School, is to support you in that quest as a valued contributor to this community, and I look forward to answering your questions and helping you earn an acceptance letter to your dream school. At MBA Prep School we have a saying: Prepare to be accepted!
, I am thinking of going through MBA. People make fun but I believe if I stand a chance, I must avail.
