Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hey there, if you widen your net of kickass-consultants-who-can-help-me-get-me-into-a-top-b-school beyond India, you'll end up w the world's best practitioners, and not just India's best. Unlike getting a physical examination from your doctor, being in the same room as your expert isn't as valuable as connecting to the guy/gal with the brain and experiential bank of knowledge that can help you do what you need to do to advance your case. Video chat, phone, email, highly efficient, highly effective, and standard by now. Figure out your budget, and then shop around and then look for the most successful, talented advice-givers out there that suit your budget.

Another thing -- most top-10 US b-schools aim for ~20-40% non-US students. One of the tricks is knowing what makes your profile distinct (and in our experience, the majority of otherwise-qualified candidates MISFIRE here, either by identifying the wrong unique traits, or by getting the trait right, but selling it wrong). But there's an even SIMPLER way to differentiate: having clear and achievable post-MBA goals, with bulletproof plans. "Doesn't that go without saying"? Yes. And, the vast majority of international applicants (well, all applicants actually) SHANK THIS. So, to be able to compel the adcom that you have so clearly identified the value of an MBA for you at this point in your life, and understand exactly how you're gonna exploit it toward specific short-term goals... is to take a major step ahead of your competition. Harder than it sounds. Much. But doable. Now, do this AND make your differentiators come to life, and you're gonna SAIL past your competition. Indians, Chinese and Pakistani students are overrepresented among international students and, as you might imagine, this is a particularly dizzying challenge for that crew. But, as long as you do those two things (have clear/logical/achievable goals, and identify/sell your unique traits), you're gonna be golden. We've seen thousands of international applicants sink into this universal quicksand, but we've gotten em all out. We've developed a sixth sense over the years helping international folks in particular make their case. Email us if you ever wanna chat, or if you wanna do a more formal consultation, you're always welcome to hop over to this page: https://admissionado.com/free-consultat ... sultation/ and we'll get into it. Oh and take your time and really sink into that form, the more stuff you say, the meatier the chat.

Good luck!
