A complete Diffrent profile.... Pls Guide me!

DEar Stacy,
I am preparing for my gmat and i have my test scheduled for August 2008. I am getting shivers , thinking about the admission, and application process for schools. I have thought of NYU, Columbia, stanford, rutgers to apply to after i get my gmat score. My concern is, How to write essays for schools, the application process etc etc. I am not sure, as how can i market myself for these schools.
I am a woman from hospitality industry, i have studied AOS in baking and pastry from CIA, new york. I have also completed my 3 yrs bachelors from india and along with it i have studied 3 yrs in culinary arts and kitchen administartion from india. I have 2 years toltal work experience inclusive of internships and 1 year job in hotel.
I also belong to a business background, as my mother is a entreprenure and my intrest to pursue MBA is because i want to start my own business after some years and i want to work in R&D for some years before that.
I am little hesitant in in paid admission services offeered by many people around becuase i am not sure as how they can help me and i am not confident in the application process on my own. What should i do?? Should i wait for my Gmat scores first?? and what will be the best solution for a case like mine. Please guide me.
Thanks

Dear Chef26,

Since you are not familiar with the MBA admissions process and are unsure how to market yourself, then admissions consulting services could be helpful for you. Your GMAT score will be telling as to what types of schools you should consider, but that does not solve your concern regarding essays. There are many consulting services out there at many different price points. I would encourage you to visit their websites. Another resource that might be at relatively little to no cost is to identify some friends or friends of friends/family that are familiar with the MBA admissions process. They might be able to help you and provide some insight. Lastly, I would encourage you to take advantage of any Wold MBA or The MBA Tour events near your home as many of these offer sessions on these topics.

Good luck,
Lisa
