Navigate the Business School Application Process with the Updated MBA Planner App

Have you downloaded the latest version of Clear Admit’s MBA Planner? The MBA Planner is a FREE application for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch designed to make it easy for you to juggle the many moving parts that make up the MBA application process. This app, available for download in the iTunes store, features a range of organizational tools and detailed information about individual schools to help you save time and stay on track as you apply to multiple top-tier MBA programs.

To date, the MBA Planner contains updated deadlines, essay topics, student demographic information and job placement statistics for Wharton, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, INSEAD, Johnson, MIT Sloan, NYU Stern and ISB. As additional business schools release 2012-2013 application cycle information we will be making revisions to the app. The in-app refresh button located in the upper right corner of the My Schools screen will update the data within the app to match what is available on our servers.  Be sure that you hit the refresh button each time you open the app for the latest MBA program information.

Using the Clear Admit MBA Planner couldn’t be easier. Download the app from the iTunes store, select your target schools and you’re on your way. The app’s To Do feature automatically generates a checklist of application components for each school. Meanwhile, the My Schools Dashboard provides you with a customized snapshot of your progress, including a running countdown to each school’s deadline and a progress bar showing how much of each application has been completed.

Beyond keeping applicants organized and on schedule, the MBA Planner also significantly reduces time spent researching target schools. Student demographic data, job placement and salary stats, essay questions and analysis – the app brings it all straight to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Additionally, the app features a Notes field for each individual essay you’re working on for every school. So when inspiration strikes, be it on the train or when you’re walking down the street, you can jot down your ideas or even compose whole sentences and paragraphs. You can also record things you learn from students and alumni or questions you want to remember to ask admissions officials in a separate section for school-specific notes.

Finally, the MBA Planner helps keep track of the many contacts you’ll make as part of the application process. Admissions office contact information is stored as part of each school profile, and the app will also let you attach recommenders to each application by drawing directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch contacts. Likewise, you can also organize the contacts you make along the way according to school, helping you keep track of who you met where, what you talked about and any plans you made for following up.
