It’s never too early to start preparing your MBA application. In fact, the earlier you start, the better your chances of being admitted to your dream school. So what tasks should you be doing and when to maximize your chances of getting into a business school.
The first thing you should do is take the GMAT. This test is a key component of your application and your score will play a big role in determining which schools you can apply to. aim to take the GMAT at least six months before you plan on applying to business school. This will give you enough time to retake the test if you’re not happy with your score.
Next, you should spend time researching schools and networking with current students and alumni of your target business schools.
Next, you’ll need to start working on your essays. These essays are your opportunity to sell yourself to the admissions committee and you’ll need to make sure that they are well-written and convincing. Start brainstorming topics and drafting your essays at least four months before your applications are due.
Finally, you’ll need to gather letters of recommendation. These should come from people who can speak about your professional abilities and potential as a business leader. Ask your recommenders at least two months in advance so they have enough time to write a strong letter.
