Admissionado helped me get into Kellogg/Yale SOM (with $$$)
I came to Admissionado with big dreams and bad numbers. What can I say? I am just not the best test taker. With a 640 GMAT score and a 3.3 GPA, I know I had the odds set against me, but I wanted to go to a great school, a top-10 school. Julie from Admissionado worked with me to bring out everything ...

As an update to this thread -- as much as I love Stanford, and despite rocking essays, I didn't get an interview there (or HBS) and was dinged from both. 
Now I sit and wait for a decision from Yale, Kellogg and Ross.

Oh shoot... I left all my current activities just with no end date (left the box blank). I hope that isn't frowned upon.

Consortium app - anyone else find it limiting?
The Consortium application seems to be pretty limiting -- I mean, 500 characters to sum up all of your extra-curriculars?!
I want to make sure I am not missing anything here. Is anyone else having trouble fitting their application into their tiny spaces?

application vs. resume -- where to put info?
Is your resume supposed to be a reflection of your overall application, or an addendum? To be more specific: 1. Is your resume a highlight sheet of everything you have in your application? Meaning it has the same activities and jobs you mentioned in your application so that it can be a one-sheet sum...

will you scan my resume? please?
Hi consultants, I am not going to ask you to edit my resume, because I know that would be insane. But I am so nervous about my resume (panic mode! panic mode!) that I was hoping one of you would be willing to just scan it really quickly and tell me if this is an applicant you would bring into your [...

Bad GMAT quant, but want to prove I can do math. MOOCs?
I got a 640 on my GMAT, and with the split being 39V/38Q, this unfortunately puts me in the 44th %ile for Math. Yikes. But I want to go to a Top 10 school (crazy, I know), and I know this GMAT score is of no help, so I am hoping to show them I will be ready for b-school math by taking math courses n...

Low Numbers, High Aspirations -- GSB/HBS with a 640?
I already know where I want to go to school -- I really, really want to go to Stanford GSB. I think the GSB program is completely perfect with what I want to do and what I want to learn. I have fallen head over heels for GSB... but the GMAT hates me. Should I even try to apply to these schools with ...

What to wear to an b-school event?
I know this this a silly question, but I thought it was worth asking. Stanford GSB is having an admissions event in my area, and I am actually confused as to what I am supposed to wear. It isn't an interview, just an info session. I work in the tech industry, so jeans and a shirt work well for me, a...

How to shorten a resume?
While only having three years of work experience, I have been on three separate teams within my company as part of a rotation program. Most of my work has been project-based work, meaning my resume is currently a long list of all the projects I have done on these teams and the outcome. For an MBA ap...
