Tricks for getting into top MBA program?
Hey Guys,
I am wondering if any of u know any particular tricks for getting accepting into a top MBA Program.
Tricks, such as- when applying for upenn for undergraduate (but really want to go to Wharton), the school statistics have shown that students are far more likely to get accepted if they apply into the college, as something like econ major, and then apply to internally transfer to wharton. thats just one example
Was wondering if anyone else had any tips or strategies for better chances of admissions to a top MBA program.
Thanks,
I got some tricks for you:
1) Get 800 on the GMAT. 2) Get a perfect 4.0 from an Ivy League undergrad. 3) Work at a top firm, ideally MBB or a PE firm after spending 2 years at a top BB group. 4) Win a gold medal in the Olympics or something. 5) Do some wild interesting volunteer work. 6) Make sure you rewind the clock and are born to parents who went to a top school. 7) Ideally, have your parents give a $3MM+ donation to your choice of school.
Good luck!
since OP is interested in trickery, add (8) buy out admissions....
Sounds duplicative with 7
Im thinking of doing an LBO on Harvard graduate school. That way I am guaranteed a spot. Since my parents are billionaires they can bankroll me, and since I have a 4.0 from an ivy i can run the LBO analysis and formulate the legal framework myself. I figure I can make enough money stripping and selling off all the assets, and then leasing them back. If I don't make enough that way, I figure as owner I can start to dip into their billion dollar endowment. Ill turn Harvard into a corporation, prepare an ABS backed by the all the incoming students college tuition payments, ill short the fuck out of it, and then declare bankruptcy on the school. My MBA degree would be worthless at that point but hey, whats the point of having fuck you money if you never get to say fuck you..amiright?
CBS early decision is probably the closest there is to a "trick" in that it's significantly easier to get in ED vs regular. You can also consider "back dooring" into a school with PT programs such as Kellogg, Booth, Stern, Haas which are way easier to get into than full time
How does this?
"back dooring"

Do you get a degree with part time written on it? What if pt MBAs aren't treated equal to full time by employers?
i'm not sure what the degree says as im enrolled in a FT program. from what i've heard, it's challenging to try and recruit as a PT student as they often can't participate in OCR and recruiting events but i've also heard anecdotes of part timers getting jobs at MBB and BBs. Best to reach out directly to PT students in whatever programs you're interested in.
I'm in Booth PT, we can do OCR but there are a couple hoops. Degree is same, I even take some day classes with the FTers, but yes I do have to cry myself to sleep that my GMAT was 10 points lower, some of those rock stars were better at geometry, etc etc.
If you're seeking the banking or consulting route I'd still gun for FT, but any other group outside of those and No one gives a shit that it's PT
I'm all about the backdoor
Thanks for the laugh LOL
A good GMAT and a target undergrad will get you in most 10-15 ranked programs if you pay full tuition. I know cause I've don it(although I turned it down since MBA is a waste of time anyway...)
Plus good work experience and good GPA will get you into top 5-10. Plus superb work experience(BB or Consulting+promotion) will get you into Harvard. It used to be harder but now it's just that(sarcasm...)
Be a minority. Get into minority feeder programs for MBAs like ML4T or Toigo. CRUSH the GMAT since a 760+ is a BEAST score. If the gmat isn't for you then take the GRE and do very well on that. Xepa did the GRE route and is at a MBA business schools ">M7.
-A delusional minority who wants to do HBS 2+2, Yale Silver Scholars, or GSB 2+2.
I know someone who hardcore sold in their application and interview for Kellogg that they wanted to do non-profit mananagement. As far as I know, they had subpar grades from a subpar school and subpar work experience. They changed their track to finance upon matriculation and are now with Bain in Sydney.
smh
Yeah, I am not encouraging it -- but it could possibly help in getting admitted into a 'reach' school.
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A
Harvard and Wharton fought over me after I used this... Felt like I had hacks, man.
Eh, the part time / full time difference in school is different. I did a full time program (not a top 10), and the GF is currently doing a part time at stern. The part time program is on cruise control, but it makes sense for people who are already working full time.
From what I have seen in accounting / finance, the school name does not matter as much as the letters after your name and the alumni network.
I declined an offer at BlackRock in compliance that I got with an MBA from an alright school. The letters and the network are what are crucial. Look at where you want to go geographically and look at the schools the major players hire from. A lot of those companies say top ten, but in reality, how many people actually went to a top ten school vs others who have a similar background. It's good for getting your foot in the door at a big company / big name firm, but 3-5 years down the line no one is going to care as much if you went to Harvard or Fordham as long as you get your job done well and are a smart person.
I get the hype for the top 10, but also think their value is over hyped too. Just some things I have noticed - feel free to flame away.
Imagine how many clicks you'd get on this site if you threw up a banner ad declaring, "ONE WEIRD TRICK to getting into a TOP mba?"
Well considering the tip i received about applying to upenn as an econ minor into the college, and then transferring into the Wharton school, I would absolutely say that THATS ONE WEIRD TRICK that absolutely helped/helps. Theres a huge majority of students who would be denied applying to Wharton, but would be accepted into the college as I have seem it first hand.
You're telling me the majority of students denied to Wharton would get into Penn Arts & Science? That's just plain wrong. Acceptance rate from Penn SAS to Wharton are high because 1) these are still high achieving Ivy League students 2) small sample size.
Apply to Phoenix online, get good grades, then transfer to HBS after your first semester
You can actually transfer from Phoenix?
I'm surprised it hasn't been shut down yet. But the hell why not.

Go to as many admission and info sessions. Get face time with admission officers. Meet actual professors and have conversations with them. Find different programs that help network with Alumni. Nail the essay and interview. From listening and networking with a lot of people one of the biggest mistakes or decisions applicants or prospective students is the mistake on the essay and interview. You can get a great score on the GMAT and GRE but bomb the essay or interview. Many admission officers told me that they hate when a essay is copied for multiple schools and NOT tailored for that specific school. This can look really bad even if you get a 760 on GMAT

I believe in you OP.... do the surgery.
Guys, I have a question regarding graduation from top mba programs such as wharton, stanford, hbs and grades. Once I graduate and go for interviews, would my gpa from these top institutions matter. What if I have like a 2.5 GPA, would that matter?
Best way to position yourself for a MBA business schools">M7 MBA down the track? (Originally Posted: 05/10/2015)
Hi everyone, I'd like to do an MBA in a couple of years time and was wondering how I could best position myself to achieve this goal? Hopefully the time gap between now and when I apply will allow me to work on improving areas where I am currently weak on.
Currently I am still unsure exactly what I want to do after an MBA, however it would be within the vicinity of Hedge Fund/Asset Management/Venture Capital or Tech Start up. I am not very interested in IBD, MBB or F500 type roles
Basic stats:
4.0 GPA from reputable university in Australia, Software Engineering and Finance double major, multiple awards etc
Currently working at a top performing domestic AM firm (however we have only limited international presence) as an Investment Analyst in the Investment Management Team.
Previously interned in IBD at BBIB , however didn't really enjoy the work or culture, which is why I decided not to go back into IB for full time.
Some EC during university, however more on the social side of things vs. taking any serious leadership roles.
Ideally when I decide to apply for MBA I would also have: 710-770 GMAT CFA Charter holder
Therefore given my background, would be interested to know how I can improve my chances of getting into a top MBA program down the track? I'm guessing my EC is likely to be my weakness area? Therefore what kind of EC will help me?
Thanks in advance!
focus on the GMAT. make sure to get a 730+
GMAT is crucial. It seems that a lot of top MBAs are now looking for voluntary experience as well.
Aiming to do GMAT after I finish CFA's in June this year, I am not too worried about GMAT since I am generally pretty good with test taking, also I know GMAT is something I can go from zero to hero within a very short period of time. It is the other things that can't get be crammed I am more worried about.
Just make sure to give yourself time to retake if necessary. I think it's best to aim for a 99th %ile score. I also am decent with test taking and I still had to study for over 60 hours to get the score that I wanted.
You wrote:
You might want to work on humility
I'm not sure the CFA matter at all.
That said,
Same path to Harvard as everyone else
Biggest weakness of your app will be your essays where you answer the "why do you need this degree and why now?" question. You don't in fact need an MBA. You already work in your target industry and will hold the most sought after designation in that industry. The coursework will have no educational value for you whatever. You can register for some upper level finance, math, or comp sci courses but those are not actually "MBA courses".
You can lie and say you are looking for a career change into a role that would actually benefit from the coursework but from what you wrote I really don't get why you want an MBA.
Your raw stats and experience are a shoe-in for many top programs but the most elite schools won't let someone in who just wants to hang out and do OCR (of which there is very little for your target industry BTW). They regard themselves as actual schools, the main attraction of which is the classes. We regard them as recruitment platforms but they don't like being used that way.
Focus on the essay, the fit, why you want to go back to school, etc. Tighten up your story. 10 more GMATs is the last thing you need.
730+ gmat score - averages are rising every year Focus on getting a healthy number of relevant post-college extracurriculars under your belt (for example, volunteering to teach financial literacy) - cannot emphasize this enough. Easy way to differentiate yourself.
Best way to position yourself for a top b-school is to STOP reverse engineering your profile. There isn't a one-size-fits-all profile.
First, stop underestimating the GMAT like Napoleon did with the Russian winter. I'm sure you think you're super smart, but the GMAT isn't an intelligence test. It's not about "hard" or "easy" but about putting in the proper time to make sure you don't fuck it up. Underestimate it at your peril.
Secondly, here's your raw top level profile: finance/engineering school, you work in finance, and you have a CFA. You may be the life of the party in a room full of accountants and finance guys, but outside of that, you'll come across as a bit one-dimensional and a bore. B-school isn't a finance degree. It's a pretty wide dispersion of folks from different walks of life and occupations.
Be interesting. How you do that is as unique as the individual, and that's for you to figure out. Why? Because you have your own interests and values.
What if I suggested that you get involved as an activist in Gay, Lesbian, Bi and Transgender political groups in Australia? Would you? Because there's certainly folks at these top schools (some of whom were in finance like yourself) who have done so. But they didn't do it because they thought it would help their b-school applications.
Or how about your local synagogue or Jewish organization? Maybe you can convert just for the sake of your b-school applications.
Or how about enlisting in the military reserves? Or becoming a volunteer firefighter? I'm sure putting your life in potential danger is sure worth it just for your b-school apps.
Or start a band? I'm sure in just a few short weeks you can mix like Calvin Harris, wax poetic like Kendrick Lamar, or play guitar like Slash.
Get involved in something that you'd actually do regardless of b-school applications. If you need b-school admissions to be a reason to get involved, well, then, just volunteer at some local charity, tutor kids, or fundraise for your university and end up being a McApplicant like all the other applicants who are trying to window dress their way to some profile they think will actually past the sniff test with an adcom, especially when compared to folks who actually do it for the right reasons - you can't fake this shit.
Short of volunteering for ISIS or some militant Islamic group, the canvas is completely yours to fill.
If you get involved for the right reasons, you will be interesting. If you try and reverse engineer and window dress this shit, the only person in the room you're fooling is yourself.
Give this guy all the bananas!!!
Very good feedback guys, thanks for all the advice!
Also relax a bit. Again, there's some other posters who have been in touch with HBS and they've posted on here saying that even any arrogance rubbing off your profile will get you dinged by the adcom.
Something else nobody's brought up: there is a significant luck factor involvedd. There's some near-perfect profiles that were dinged by HBS and Stanford last year. It doesn't mean they did anything wrong it just means that they had too many applicants who were in that league to take them all. There's also a human luck element. It's extremely unlikely that you will know the personalities of everyone who reviews your file. You can't really anticipate whether some of the content on your essays is going to rub people the right way or the wrong way. Something I encountered personally is that you might strike one interviewer as an aggressive go getter, while another might feel that you are being unrealistic.
Different schools also have different goals that you can ferret out by talking to enough people. HBS has already been discussed here(posters have said they're trying to broaden their student body), others have had good results with some students and want more (ref my post on Kelley), and others want large numbers of international students (I've been told that about Emory/Goizueta).
It also can vary year by year. I heard through the grapevine at one of the schools I applied to that they had over twice the normal number of applications for the class of 2017 and I've been told similar rumblings from other folks. A lot of us who simply don't have the option of waiting until next year had to take schools a bracket below what we wanted as a result.
It's great that you're asking this question now! Alongside the other great feedback you've gotten in this very energetic thread, I'd like to emphasize two key ideas: leadership and impact. A great GMAT is one crucial leg of a strong application to top MBA programs, but we work with lots of re-applicants every year who come to us after learning the hard way that a 770 isn't enough. Leadership -- as Harvard puts is, "a habit of leadership" -- and impact, i.e. doing stuff that impacts others, be it the organization, your peers/classmates, end users or beneficiaries of a community service initiative, or participants in an initiative you spearheaded -- are what makes a successful application for top business schools. Have an impact, benefit others, and make a habit of it.
^This. Don't get too caught up in stats - they are a pass or fail. If there is a secret sauce, then it is taking initiative and creating positive influence with everything you do. This characterizes three persons I know to have been accepted at HBS before me and I was accepted at HBS 2+2 with both GPA and GMAT below median myself.
Advice on getting into top MBA programs from average undergrad (Originally Posted: 01/07/2018)
I'm a senior in high school with decent academics (3.9 GPA 32 ACT) but nothing near what's needed for the top undergrad business/finance programs, so as a result I'm saving money to attend CUNY Baruch for Finance. Wall Street is the dream, always wanted to work there but with my undergrad, I know that landing a sweet job will be tough so I think business school would be the best option for me. My targets for b-school are MBA business schools">M7 (especially Columbia and Wharton) and Dartmouth. Need advice on what to during my undergrad to get into a top MBA program besides the cliche high GPA and 730+ GMAT score. My main worries are that I won't be able to get solid internships during my undergrad and that I won't be able to land a nice job after my undergrad for the ~5 years between my undergrad and business school. The competition coming from Wall Street feeder schools like Stern and Dartmouth and Columbia makes me feel hopeless lol. How do I get awesome undergrad internships and a Wall Street job coming from an average undergrad?
I know it's still tough to get a job on Wall Street even coming from a top business school but it's obviously advantageous compared to coming straight from Baruch. Just wanted to elaborate on that.
You're already counting yourself out way too early. Given Baruch's location there is some placement on the Street and a decent alumni presence. If financially or other personal reasons you can't transfer. What you can do during undergrad is:
It's honestly too early to even have bschool on the radar. You're talking about something that's essentially a decade out - a lot can change in that time period. You can end up getting the dream job you want out of undergrad and not even have to go to bschool. I think my last bullet above is one of the more important ones.
Some other things:
Route to the top MBA programs (Originally Posted: 07/03/2016)
Hi, I'm from India but have completed my education in a well known Big Ten School in Material Science & Engineering. My GPA sucks though - 2.9 - Top MBA dream killer. I completed CFA, FRM & CAIA exams and I am currently working directly in a US based PE firm in India (no-name PE but owned by the former CEO of world's largest Asset Management company). I aspire to get into top MBA firms. The issue I want to discuss here is how to progress in my case if I plan to get 5 years of experience in PE before going for MBA. Shall I stick to the same company for 5 years and leave for MBA as a PE associate? Or shall I keep changing my job to better firms for a higher post but not necessarily higher salaries?
I do find few people being an associate without an MBA but the top PE firms rarely accept people for that position without an MBA. Will adcoms be fine with one becoming a PE associate at a smaller firm than top firms, if I desire to get into to US MBA programs? And there are not many top US-based PE firms in India but rather reputed Asia-based & domestically reputed PE firms, will adcoms understand this or do I need to mention about it in my mba essay in the future?
Guys, anyone out there knows how to deal with such a situation?
Personally, I don't think that qualifications are valued as much as a strong GMAT. Have you taken a practice exam yet? What score do you realistically hope to achieve?
Chances to get into a top MBA depending on the bachelor? (Originally Posted: 05/24/2014)
I was wondering if the chances to get into a top MBA program depend only on the grades of your bachelor, or if the prestige of the university you attended during your bachelor also plays a role. Will someone who had a 3.5 GPA at Stanford have better chances to get into Harvard for his MBA than someone who had a 4.0 at the Ohio state university?
Prestige matters. Because more often than not people who go to prestigious university usually get the prestigious jobs.
BTW a 4.0 at OSU is a incredibly achievement. OSU is a solid school.
Let me guess. a freshman at OSU?
Yes, but not for the reasons you think.
If you go to a non-target, you have a MUCH less chance of getting the type of job that MBA's recruit from. There's A LOT more people from ~Top 25 schools than other schools at the MBA business schools">M7 business schools, but that's also because there's A LOT more people at top banks/consulting firms/tech companies/etc from Top 25 undergrad schools.
There's plenty of people from non-name undergrad schools in the top schools, but they tend to be people who got high GPA's and got a prestigious job. If you get a prestigious job out of a no name program you'll probably be fine getting into a top business school. There's some bias in adcoms towards top undergrad schools, and if you're a marginally candidate it could move the needle one way or another, but getting good work experience will be a much bigger battle.
Also, If you do go to a non-target, getting a high GPA is a must (if you go to a top program, a lower GPA is usually fine...which makes sense since the competition is much higher at Stanford than OSU). In your exact example, A 3.9-4.0 from OSU is probably indeed around equivalent to around a 3.4-3.5 at Stanford in adcoms minds, assuming the same exact work experience. The issue you'll face is though, every bank and consulting firm will hire a 3.5 from Stanford, but at OSU none of them come on-campus, and you'll have a harder time getting your foot in the door, even with sky high GPA, just from the fact its a non-target.
--- Edit
Ohio State University is ranked higher than I assumed, around 50, so things might be a bit easier than I imply above.
OSU is not a crap school. It has a massive alumni network and a lot of firms hire there.
No I will actually be a freshmen at the Bocconi in Milan in September. idk anything about OSU. I just googled worst universities in the US and I came up with that... I hope that Bocconi will give me some fairly good opportunities in the US
Sounds like a pasta brand.
Chances of getting into an MBA business schools">M7 School (Originally Posted: 10/26/2012)
Assuming I have a high enough gmat score, is it even possible for me to get accepted at an MBA business schools">M7 school. I am looking to switch careers to IB and figured an MBA is the best way to get me there. Here's a little background info
My plan is to start applying in October/November next year and I was wondering if there is anything I could do to improve my chances. I feel that being Indian is a huge disadvantage given how overrepresented they are in top MBA programs.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
.. you mean "disadvantage"?
yeah dawg yeah, you golden bro
Yes. Huge DISadvantage. My bad - fixed it.
It's impossible for anyone to comment on your chances with only that information.
Your work experience may or may not cut it. It's going to depend on things like the impact you've had, leadership experience, management experience, and how interesting your projects were.
And even if you hit it out of the park with your work experience, your GMAT score, GPA and extracurricular involvement will play a huge role in getting into an MBA business schools">M7.
OK. What kind of extracurricular activities are they looking for?
I am also currently pursuing an Masters degree in Finance at an almost no-name school. To make a long story short, I had a few issues with my visa and the only way I could continue to work in the US was to go back to school. I didn't have much notice and therefore not enough time to find another school so I ended up going here. I'm assuming this doesn't help me in any way at all but would this hurt my chances?
Getting into a top MBA program. (Originally Posted: 07/20/2013)
Will a 3.5 GPA from a non targeted school and a 710 gmat score be good enough to get into a top 15 MBA program?
it won't not get you into a top 15 MBA program.
It's not just about numbers.
I appreciate the reply , what are the major factors that are involved with the overall factors of the applications. I have been trying to research as much as possible, however I feel it is not as useful as hearing from someone who has experience.
What if the OP's GPA was 3.7 & GMAT over 750?
You definitely have a shot. What does your work exp look like?
+1 to this. Those numbers won't disqualify you, but the rest of your applications needs to be top notch. Don't waste time retaking the GMAT. Get te rest of your package together.
If that was the case, and all other things were completely equal, then he'd have a better shot than the guy with the 3.5 and 710, but all other things are never equal. That person with the 3.7 and 750 may have shxtty work experience, shxtty interview skills and a generic application. He/she is going to get rejected almost everytime.
What do you mean?
I mean that a lot of people spend all of their time trying to get that magical GMAT score that they think will give them a better chance of being accepted. Realistically, if they got a score that was 20 points lower and spent the extra time crafting a good application and preparing for interviews rather than retaking the exam, they'd probably have a better chance of getting in. I've seen plenty of people with GMAT scores in the mid-600s get accepted to top 5-7 schools.
All of the talk about needing a score in the high 700s just distracts people from what they should really be focusing on and helps the GMAT prep companies make a killing.
I'm assuming by your user name you are approximately 17 years old. You should probably worry about undergrad first.
Possibility of getting into top MBA (Originally Posted: 02/22/2016)
I am an undergraduate student pursuing a double major in finance and accounting and minor in information systems. I have a good amount of work experience and am very involved with school functions and organizations. I've interned at a private investment bank, a financial services firm, economic development company, and currently work for a fortune 500 company. I am the president and co-founder of an organization on campus and have participated in a global CFA research challenge on behalf of my university. I have a high GPA but received only one D which was in a non business course that has nothing to do with my major and the bad grade was only because I took on way too much responsibility during one semester, being president of an organization, interning, full time school, and participating in the CFA competition was really time consuming so that's why I got that one bad grade. With that being said, the university I go to isn't a high ranking university by an means but it also isn't ranked really low, so it's some what in the middle. I intend on getting a high gmat score and want to pursue an MBA at a top university. What do you think my chances are in getting into a top MBA university with my track record and one bad grade on my transcript?
Its impossible to give you any advice here without more information. Where is your university ranked, what is your major/gpa, what do you do at the fortune 500, how long have you been there? GMAT is also a very important part of your application and just because you intend on getting a high GMAT doesn't mean you'll be able to. Given your non target and non elite work experience, you are going to need at least a 740 to enter the conversation
My university was recently ranked 123rd within a list of top 250 public schools in America. My GPA fluctuates per semester but on average stays around the 3.9 range. I now have a 3.6 cumulative GPA because I received a D in a non business course which was really easy but I just took on too much responsibility that semester as I mentioned in my initial post. I am now retaking that course which will bump my GPA back up to the higher end of the 3.9 range. I am a dual major in both finance and accounting and minoring in information systems. My role at the fortune 500 company is a financial analyst role. I understand that it is hard to get a 740 but hypothetically speaking, if I do get a 740 or above on my GMAT do you think I have a chance at a top MBA school? My top choice is Olin business school at Washington university in st. Louis.
It sounds like you're trying to "buy" into a career that pays the income you want... Usually MBA looks at post undergrad employment.
You need to keep the GPA high given the non prestige university. A 740+ will be a huge help if you can swing it. A school like Olin has a 696 average GMAT so a high GMAT is probably enough to get you in there. Don't really know how your work experience will be viewed.
How to get into Top MBA w/ non-biz Degree and No IBank internship (Originally Posted: 11/12/2007)
Hey,
I was wondering how you get into a top MBA if you have a quant degree (i.e. math, a science, or engineering), but because these programs are hard, you didn't have a high enough GPA to land a ibanking or consulting internship at a big firm. I know probably misinterpreted part of what people have said, but mostly I hear that if you don't get a job in ibanking, MBB, and to a much lesser extent Big 4, then it is extremely hard to get into a top MBA. So what can you do with say an engineering degree to get into a top MBA? Does just having work experience with reputable companies help at all or what do you have to do to get noticed besides having the highest GPA possible and amazing GMATs?
thanks
ibanking and consulting experience is def. not necessary to get into a top MBA. In fact, almost all of the top MBA programs have less than 30% of its student body composed of ex-bankers/consultants (with schools like Harvard taking well less than 10% from banking). M/B/B will almost certainly get you into a top program... can't say the same about banking (GS/MS will help, but not to the same degree as M/B/B). But honestly... 70+% of students don't come from these two industries; why are you worried?
well the thing is, I really think I want to study engineering because it interests me, and its versatile, but I also have a strong interest in consulting, and if I don't get into right out of undergrad (which is probably what is going to happen statistically speaking, especially since eng lowers your GPA), then I don't want the EE degree to keep me out of getting into a top business school, and maybe trying again from there. Also, most posts I've read have said that if you don't get good internships (i.e. I-banking/consulting) out of undergrad, then you won't get into a top MBA. Who knows, I might not even care about consulting anymore, but I still want an MBA from a top school so I can move up into management at my engineering firm (this is something I KNOW I want to do) or so that if I do consulting in the EE field, the prestige can help carry me a bit further. So that's why I care, but yeah.
So now the question is, what kind of companies would top MBA schools want to see from an engineer?

If engineering is something that you are passionate about then you should pursue it. Your college experience is about the journey not the final product (i.e. GPA and diploma). You can major in engineering and still maintain a solid GPA. An engineering background will provide you with a solid foundation from which you can delve into banking or consulting.
Top b-schools are looking for well-rounded applicants and this includes people from diverse backgrounds (bankers, consultants, military men, fine art appraisers, etc). You need a solid GPA, strong GMAT score, community involvement, and a few differentiating factors. Good luck.

Don't worry, there are tons of engineers in Top 10 business schools. There are also lots of engineering applicants and the Top 10 schools draw from a global pool, many with good grades. That said 4 to 5 years of really impactful work experience as an engineer can overshadow a less than perfect GPA.
just kill the GMAT!
Is my job preventing me from getting into a top MBA program? (Originally Posted: 07/02/2010)
I work on the equity stat arb desk of a small hedge fund, where my work is a combination of research, risk management, and operations. I really want to go to wharton, columbia, or booth, but my co-worker told me that i have no shot getting into those schools due to the nature of my job. Since my work does not involve any leadership or management skills, he said that i'll be unable to get in. I just ignored his negativity, but I wonder if there's some truth to it. If that's the case, what can I possibly do to bolster my chances of gaining admission?
I feel like an MBA is a must for me and the only way for me to get to where i want to be.
That is a long-standing rumor that I did not find to be true. As a sales-trader, I've never worked professionally with a "team" on a project in the traditional sense, but I had no problem in admissions nor did a colleague who started at Booth right after I joined the firm. You just have to spin the teamwork element in your essays and show them you are not a crazed loner in your interviews.
I don't think this is true. There are several key differences between "leadership" and "management," and you would be keen to formulate an opinion on what leadership means to you and how those concepts are different.
Following up on the PM's you sent me, I would say that what would most likely prevent you from getting into a top business school, if anything, might be either (1) not having a clear story as to why an MBA is essential towards your achieving your career goals, or (2) perhaps the existence of a defeatist attitude on the part of your prospective recommenders, if they are anything like your co-worker that curiously told you that you had "no shot."
When I think of my peers and friends on the buy-side, most of them wouldn't go back to get their MBA unless they needed it to somehow move up in their career. I would say that if you think business school somehow opens some additional channels for you to gain access to prospective employers, then go for it. However, I think that hardcore networking and even just calling upon people that you already know would be the better way to go. Business school is expensive, and "looking for direction" or "good social opportunities" -- as you suggested in prior threads -- probably aren't good reasons unless you have boatloads of money saved up. Buy-side hiring is challenging coming from an MBA program and requires a lot of legwork, so even though I understand that you're trying to upgrade into a different role than you have now in the same industry, I don't think an MBA is going to make it that much easier for you to make that transition. Whether you're in business school or not, how likely you are to get the job you want will depend a lot on your network. A lot of buy-side recruiting is not formally organized at business schools, no matter which business schools we're talking about.
Lastly, if you already think the MBA is a "must" for you, then you should really start thinking about HOW you're going to craft your story for admissions. Having good reasons to pursue your MBA is critical and knowing nothing else about you, this would be my greatest concern if I were applying to business school again / in your shoes. It's not your job that would prevent you from getting in; it would be your apparent lack of good reasons or conviction. I worked in private equity and spent most of my essays writing about my love for art, and how a top tier MBA would help me use my business skills to serve the arts. It's probably not the type of thing most people would write about, but evidently it was good enough for me. Anything's possible as long as you have reasons that will resonate with the reader.
The majority of finance-types won't have any "management" experience before b-school. You can be a "leader" by excelling at what you do, taking initiative on a project, mentoring younger employees, devising a new process, etc.
How to get into top MBA with moderate grade and profile (Originally Posted: 03/07/2013)
I'm making a career plan to get into top MBA program. My GPA is between 3.1-3.5 But i did a lot of extra activities at school, including volunteer work, Participate student council and received many scholarship.
My work experience is rather diversified and dynamic. Working in many continents. Do I have a good chance of getting in top MBA. If not how can I improve this? Which university I am most likely to get in or have a fair chance to apply?
Hi Soontobeaconsultant, I think you haven't gotten a lot of replies because you have a lot of general stuff in your query -- so let's break it down. First, leading with the GPA doesn't help as much as first talking about what you want to do. By your name, it appears you want to be a consultant. A management consultant? You say you have worked in many countries -- that's interesting -- doing what?
Also, what kind of undergraduate education did you have? Where/what did you study? And are you a good test taker? have you taken the GMAT?
many questions! That's the only way some of us can help. So, the floor is open.
How can I position myself to get into a top 10 MBA Program?
I go to HYP with a 3.1 GPA. Have yet to take my GMAT. Plan to go into a boutique investment bank. Varsity athlete. From the midwest, but I've taught myself and fluent in Mandarin.
Looking for advice on what to do post-undergrad graduation to make a unique career
mba tier 1 (Originally Posted: 05/13/2011)
Say I get a nice rotational financial analyst program at a Fortune 500, stellar gpa (finance) at Rutgers, and do above average on GMATs, what are my chances of getting into a Tier 1 Bschool (top 20 or whatever). More specifically Berkeley (Haas), Thanks.
I'd say they are stellar, bro.
Assuming you're a white male (if you're a black female it would be TOTALLY different), my thoughts would be that your chances of top 20 are still very good if you do well at work and progress steadily etc. but the chances of Stanford are literally zero - unless you discover the secret to cold fusion between now and then AND also get an 800 on your GMAT AND marry a billionaire who's dad donates a new research center.
So long as you do some cool work and get a 700+ GMAT score you can easily get into top 10-20 business schools even having come out of Rutgers and so forth... stanford is just fucking impossible though, for almost everyone...
Stanford almost always turns out to be a waste of time. You'd rather stake your chance on HBS any day. Look at their fucking acceptance rate
about 8-10%
Much like job diversity initiatives, and even undergraduate admissions, if you are an above average under-represented minority (meaning black, hispanic, native american) or female in the business school world (but not law or med schools), then you are more "desirable" as a candidate and thus have less to compete against in the pool of other URMs.
the difference in difficulty between a school ranked 15-20 and 1-5 is incredibly large. there is no comparison
it is more accurate to say that the difference in schools ranked 1-2 and 3-20 is incredibly large. The difference between 3-7 and 8-20 is medium at most. And within 8-20 is small.
As an aside, unless you are prepared to post your resume and complete essays on the internet, chances (for bschool) threads are pointless.
Are these rankings similar to what you guys are talking about? http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/
Also I'm most interested in Stanford, since I'd like to do the Silicon Valley thing. Where else is good for meeting people involved in tech start ups?
Haas, MIT
What are my odds for Haas?
12-15%
businessweek mba rankings are nonsense. USNews
Yeah, if your GMAT is below 700, you can forget about Top 10. If your GMAT is over 750, you MAY have a shot. First, get your numbers right. Then, take care of the fluff like demonstrated leadership and social conciousness and ethical responsibility, which a lot of candidates ignore, but which adcom cares about deeply. After that, sit back and pray like crazy.
Don't mean to be racist or anything, but that previous comment by someone else about Asian-American and White Males versus African-American Females just happens to be accurate. That is just the way it is. Nothing you can do about it.
I speak from experience. I applied to Stanford this year. I too come from a non-prestigious university with a strong GPA (computer science). I landed a 760 GMAT, have IB --> PE experience, and a very diverse set of ECs/community involvement. I even have extended family that are Stanford alums and a rec from a Stanford alum. I'd also easily qualify my Stanford essays as the best ones I wrote. All of this and I wasn't even granted an interview.
After interacting closely with their student body it is quite clear that they value folks who are "off the beaten track" far more than the traditional "Fortune 500" types. So -- feel free to set your sights on Stanford, but recognize that you're going to have to step up your ambitions significantly in order to be considered.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by "off the beaten track"? I read somewhere that H/S has mostly people with only a few years of work exp. so I was wondering how "off" can they really be.
Do you guys think Stanford's acceptance rate is low because so many people, who took the typical IB/Finance path, applied?
I forgot to ask if yoiu're a minority. It's a very different admissions game if you are
Thank you everyone, these have been the most helpful replies I have received on this site. I no longer have my sites set on Stanford, and now am pretty intrigued by Berkeley (Haas) due to its similar distance to the Silicon Valley. What is everyone's view on my chances at Haas? Thanks
Haas is pretty hard to get into but that's not to say you can't get in. You didn't provide a whole lot of information so it's hard to tell. You need to start networking with students and attending informational sessions to get more insight into the school.
Makes sense, I appreciate the explanation.
What's better for getting into a top tier MBA? (Originally Posted: 11/10/2011)
Hello WSO Consulting community,
Looking for your thoughts on exit opportunities. A little about myself: semi-target, late bloomer into finance, decent GPA but struck out in FT recruiting at MM banking.
I have multiple offers from consulting firms, not M/B/B/Deloitte S&O, but middle tier, (CRA/Navigant/Huron/couple accounting firms for Economic Advisory Services) etc. However, also have an offer for middle office finance at a top BB (GS/MS/JPM etc).
Do you think although it's a middle office function, it is more valuable to gain top contacts through networking? My goal is to get into pure financial services, perhaps not IB since I don’t want to be working those hours when out of MBA, but perhaps smaller PE shop, HF eventually, or even some MO functions like business development/risk services.
Thanks all.
and yes, by top tier I don't mean H/W/S haha. so no flames please.
No MO, brah. Stay away from it. It's easier to lateral from FO to FO than MO to FO (even if it's within the same firm). From your list, I would go with CRA.
Consulting is not my end goal outside of MBA school, though. and the consulting offers I've received aren't as related to financial services as I want to be. so my question is really just what's best to get into MBA cuz from there I think I can take it from there.
I disagree, there's been many people that have transferred from MO to FO. Especially within the same firm.
MO at a top tier BB > middle-tier consulting. Trust me.
differing opinions...can anyone else add insight? thanks.
go with CRA, personally
Tips to get into top mba in the USA coming from Korea (Originally Posted: 01/19/2016)
So hey guys I need some advice regarding my sort of unique situation. Im a student from Brazil that is pursuing a master degree in Korea (yeah, I know, kinda weird). Just for a little more background info on me, my undergrad was in electrical engineering from the flagship federal school of my state (In Brazil private universities are crap, federal and state schools rule the land), and here I am studying my masters in the area of wireless sensor networks, IoT and related topics. So anyway, reason of why I am here is that during my final undergrad year I was researching on foreign countries to do my masters, and based on those QS rankings Korea seemed like a nice place, since the country is pretty safe (which coming from Brazil is something that is very attractive to me), there were some very well ranked institutions, possibility of free education, and a lot of major engineering companies in EE are from here.
Based on that I applied and was fortunate enough to get into KAIST, which is the best school in here, and have been studying in here for one semester so far. Things have been going pretty well, school is quite competitive and challenging, many lab work hours and highly funded projects, and my grades so far are pretty good . From other thread websites such as reddit, I have also heard that KAIST has a good international reputation in the engineering field, with many people saying that would be possible to get an interview internationally in many companies around the globe.
But here is the not so perfect part. Recently I have been bitten by the finance bug, and got really interested in this field. I have been thinking in pursuing an mba in the future, and of course, just like the rest of the world I would like to do it in the USA (or at Insead). So this is the part where I require the knowledge and wisdom from you almighty people of wso: what should I do from now on to improve my chances of getting into a top 10 mba in the future? Things that I am thinking in doing while I am at KAIST is join its 2 financial clubs(which I will try to do in the next semester), improve my korean to at least advanced level, and next semester I will be the lab leader in a major project that will involve 2 other labs, so that might help with the whole leadership thing. My dream path would be to get into consulting or IB right out of KAIST, and then in the future use this experience to get into IB or PE (if I can get that pre-mba IB experience) after an mba. The thing that has me worried is that Korea is not exactly HK or Singapore, and from what I have read here on WSO the finance sector here is not in the same league as its nearby neighbors. There are branchs of the MBB and BB in here, but I am not sure how impressive it would look in my resume that I worked in the korean branch of these companies. Also I am worried about how to get a job in this field, since I wont be a native and also will be 25 by the time I finish my masters, I am hopeful that the KAIST brand and some possible networking that might come out of the clubs might give me some advantage.
So what would be the best path for me to do regarding increasing my mba acceptance chances? Should I try to get into an analyst position or consulting at Korea? Or should I try to get into an analyst position at the nearby asian countries like Japan, China and HK? (from what I have heard in wso threads though, I think I would have jack chance to get into China or HK) Should I instead try to follow the engineering path and get into a major player like Siemens , Bombardier, VW or the local giants Samsung, Hyundai; and then use this experience for the mba acceptance and try to break into IB post mba? I speak fluently 4 languages (Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and English), and working on getting Korean to be my fifth, would these languages along with the fact that I would have a studying and working international experience help my chances?? Anyway, thanks to all ! PS: sorry for the wall of text!!!
EDIT: little more info about extra curricular during undergrad: Got a national scholarship to study abroad for one year (Airplane, tuition fee, monthly stipend, new laptop and housing all included) Was TA in 2 classes Was RA with a studentship from the national research entity. Internship at Hyundai in Korea during undergrad (when I was exchange student) Volunteer internship at my univ data processing center GRE 164 Verbal 169 quantitative, crap 4.0 in analytical writing though
Hey there, Well one thing is for sure going for you: You are gonna have a VERY unique profile when you do apply.
:)
So the first thing is that you can get into an MBA, even a top MBA without having a job in New York City. I mean South Korea is a huuuge country. You come from a good finance job in Korea, even if their finance industry is not as strong as other countries, you will be competitive (I mean assuming the rest of your profile is fantastic).
What makes no sense at all (from a personal perspective) is for you to go into something you have to interest at all (Say joining Samsung and working in tech, even if Samsung is a very strong name). All it will mean is that you will spend 3-4 years of your life doing something you don't want to do, and it will be harder for you to change later!!!
If you know you want to go into finance now: Try and get an analyst position either in Korea or neighboring Asian countries, and see what happens. You can use your other ideas (working for big engineering firms etc.) as a backup plan.
But you are for sure right about one thing - if it's gonna happen, this move from engineering to finance, it will most likely be made easy by your networking - so joining finance clubs, cultivating your contacts, etc etc etc... is probably the best thing you can do for yourself right now.
Best, Jon
Definitely feel like you have a strong application. It will be good to go ahead and target some top-tier programs, but also look at some schools that sit outside say the top 15-20. Here is a good resource. If you google us news Amba rankings that site will give you some good insight
thanks for the answers everybody. Yeah I think I will work my ass off and try to get some experience from clubs or self investing in the financial area. If I dont get into an analyst position I think my degree will help me get into a good tech company, and after some years there I hope to be able to get into an mba before I turn 30. And yeah, I will also try to look to schools out of the MBA business schools">m7 like Duke, NYU, UVA and so forth. Again, thanks!
What to do while in the job to get into top b school (Originally Posted: 02/02/2011)
So here's my situation, I recently graduated from undergrad from a top 15 school and am planning on joining Accenture MCDP program soon. I am choosing it because employees sold the MCDP program well and I have a strong passion for international development and I like Acc's Development Partnerships program that would allow me to work on international projects.
I have 2 questions:
Obviously, I had no offers (although interviews, yes) from MBB. However, from reading this forum it makes it seem like if you're choosing consulting it should be MBB or bust. I don't know about y'all but even my competitive school had very few people get admission to MBB, so most of us chose other options. Is it really true that a non-MBB basically means you're chances at a top 10 MBA are blown? I'm inclined to think otherwise, because it's not like everyone gets into Harvard/Yale/MIT for undergrad, but that doesn't mean people from places like, let say, Rice don't have very good exit opps. I imagine the same should hold true for consulting, no?
Assuming I choose Acc, what are some of the ways to differentiate yourself when you're in the job to prove to top 10 b-schools you're good enough? I still have potential interviews with places such as ZS, IBM GBS, and PwC. Are they still worth pursuing in my long term goal to go to a top b-school, or will Acc put me in a good enough position?
Thanks a ton for your feedback!
MCDP has been discussed here before, just search. Generally you obviously still have chances coming from non-MBB but you need high quality experiences. I don't know MCDP but if that gives you strategy projects, you're ok.
Don't know about ZS and IBM. PwC really depends on team, who are you interviewing with?
Thanks for the response, I know MCDP has been discussed, but not that much. there's only a couple of posts about it, and I wasn't clear what people thought are the exit opps for mcdp to b-school. Good to get your feedback though.
ZS, IBM GSB, and Acc MCDP are more or less in the same 'bucket' in terms of exit opps to good b-schools. Keep in mind though, those three all do different types of work.
As for PwC... I don't know much about it here in the US, but I don't think their strategy/advisory practice is very strong.
.
PwC supposedly actually have a strong strategy practice, but then there's the Big 4 stigma...
I just didn't think PwC had a strong advisory practice since they sold what they used to have to IBM (which is now IBM GBS) back in 2002. I know they've been trying to rebuild their advisory practice, but I that's very recent and I find it tough to believe that they've made a ton of headway.
Deloitte consulting had a 25% acceptance rate to HBS over the past 2 (maybe 3) years.
Pre-MBA work "brand" is completely overrated. It's about what you did, how you convey what you did, what your superiors say about you, and how you convey the "why mba, why here, why now".
Mckinsey, GS, etc are tie breakers at best.
Thanks for all of the feedback, it's been very helpful. Especially 2x2 your breakdown was particularly insightful.
To summarize, here's what I've gotten out of this discussion:
Acc/ZS/IBM/PwC all seem to be roughly similar when it comes to exit opps, so choose more based on fit and type of work preference rather than on any sort of marginal difference in name brand.
Question: I don't think this exists (and I've looked around for it with no luck), but does anyone know if there is anyone who publishes the places that various b-school admits come from. I know they often have a basic breakdown such as 25% consulting, but it would be interesting to see which consulting firms these people are coming from.
ive meet various people who worked at big4's advisory practices and now attend MBA business schools">M7 bschools. your experience is merely one part of the application. i suspect it is very important, but not the sole merit for acceptances. keep in mind, my 2cents...im not in business school....yet
Well I have no idea what the top 10 are...top 2 i get...but regardless, i'm telling you...it really doesn't matter.
I got into every school I applied to, 4 of which are ranked 16 or higher by USNews...and I promise very few/no people in the b-school admissions world have heard of my firm. I'm a white male, have never volunteered for shit, and went to a private but completely regional undergrad.
You can get in just about anywhere with just about any background. Outside of literally HBS and Stanford, I would select a b-school based on where you want to work post-grad (geographically).
2.I do not know much about IBM and ZS. So, I cannot speak much about it. But I will tell you specific efforts that PWC has been taking to rebuild their consulting practice. Recently, the firm acquired Diamond and part of Bearing Point (consulting for government) to get back on track. With the amount of resources (cash and experts) the company has, it is a force to be reckoned with.
Make the most of your stay at Accenture and you will be fine.
Good luck.
^Well put.
Is it possible to get into a top B school doing Operations at a BB? (Originally Posted: 08/05/2007)
Could you do operations at a BB for a couple of years, and with a good GMAT score, would that be sufficient to get into a top MBA program (NYU,Columbia) or they want to see better/more intense experience, since operations is not that intense....suggestions/thought appreciated
there's not a strong correlation between the intensity of the experience and the acceptance. more on if you have a legit experience (op at BB is very solid) and good numbers, and a good reason why you want to attend B-school. not everyone's from IBD in top b-schools.
really? I might actually opt for this route then, because I have a 3.3 GPA (entering Junior year @ a non-target I'll end with a 3.5-3.6 cumulative / 3.8-4.0 major gpa)....
and I'm starting to realize that ibanking is sort of a long shot at this point, and I don't even know if the hours are worth it/i want to do it....(i think itll bother me that the extra hours i worked at ibanking, i could have actually made more if i devoted it to starting my own business on the side, which is something i really would love to do)....
thanks for the advice
You can be a Camp Counselor and get into a top tier B-School. It's about GPA / GMAT and what you learned in your 2 to 3 years since college, hence why one is asked for the essay.
The top tier schools seek diversity of backgrounds for their full time programs.
But you need to lift the GPA, unless you are an astronaut or Nobel Peace Prize winner. 680+ on the GMAT, too.
Good luck.
Bwahahahah...please...tell me youre still in high school.
Even if you have a 750 GMAT and a 3.89 GPA, if you plan on relying on your essay to make up for lackluster work experience, you better have the writing skills of Shakespeare or Trotsky.
Lesson of the story: Work experince > GPA & GMAT
I know someone who just went to the peace corps for 2 years after college and then went straight to Columbia Business School afterwards.
gpa is the least important of the 3, that being experience, gmat and gpa
What do you need for a Top B-School? (Originally Posted: 01/09/2011)
I'm only a 1st year analyst (at a top MM and in the process of lateraling to a BB) but have been thinking about what one needs to get into a top b-school. I'd like to go to one of the following: HBS, Wharton, Chicago, Stanford, NYU, Columbia, Haas, MIT Sloan. I currently work in a capital markets role and my rationale for B-School is that I don't want to stay in capital markets my whole life -- I'd prefer work in a distressed HF, mezz debt fund or PE firm...i.e. I want to be on the buy side of what I do right now, but capital markets guys are discriminated against because of the lack of modelling experience even though it seems we understand debt instruments and dynamics better than half the industry group analysts with whom I speak.
I graduated from an Ivy in a hard science, albeit with a shitty (
I'd like to know this as well, coming from a BB (FIG in non GS/MS).
@ Optimus- curious how you managed to lateral so early. I'd like to explore options lateraling to a better BB but do not know where to begin. Thanks.
Thats an insanely high GMAT prediction...
No it's not bro. I've scored around that in my practice GMATs, and know someone who scored 770 with less than 2 months of prep. If the OP had a 1580 SAT then 760 GMAT is perfectly feasible.
The GMAT is not that hard, I'd be way more impressed with a 1580 on the original SAT than a 750 on the GMAT so I think you can get that score.
i got 770 w/ 5 weeks of light prep, and had a 1570 SAT. OP probably isn't that far off.
every week there is one of these posts on here. while in undergrad I worked in admissions office for a top bschool.. and hopefully can offer advice that will stop the incessant posts about this.
essentially high gmat is essential. solid recommendations. high gpa is good but not the deal breaker. WHAT DIFFERENTIATES THE CANDIDATES: -your essays.. -your personality -your goals -believe it or not, admissions officers are often bored to death with the 100hr/wk ibanker, hence competition is harder amongst you guys than it would be if you had gone a different route. which is why you all think this is such an Everest of a climb.
come across as someone who is interested in something other than moving to PE and making X bonus. What drives you beyond that?
I won't pretend I know, since I was similarly in your shoes, but I think a lot of it will boil down to luck for you. You're competing against a pool with a similar background, (ivy/top UG, BB/MM banking, etc.) - and often times it may just boil down to an essay or rec since there are so many candidates in that category.
That, and I imagine there will be a stronger bias against some finance candidates in coming years, as top schools try to not be dominated by banking/consulting types.
Caveat - I'm not an admissions guru, but am applying next year to HBS/GSB/Dartmouth - and have been talking to some well known admissions consultants. I was in MM banking but left for a startup.
I agree w/ the last two posts. Your application has everything you need to qualify you. So every application is going to be a role of the dice. If you apply to enough schools enough times, odds are very high you will get into at least one. Think Meph runs in Diablo II, Raids in EQ/WoW/FFXI, Opening packs or playing tourneys in MTG, our childhoods are full of similar examples. Just dont be picky and you will get into one.
You should start doing some community involvement in some fashion, I some of my fellow analysts were in the big brother program for a couple years before applying, there is time if you make it. You gotta do something that you actually care about and have shown dedication towards. This is what will separate you from the plain vanilla finance guys: being passionate about things other than your career.
