Clear Admit Publishes Updated Resume, Recommendation, Reapplicant and Waitlist Guides
Aug 7, 2012 | 0 comments
As many of of our readers know, or will soon find out, a lot goes into crafting a strong MBA application – it’s more than having a stellar GMAT score and typo-free essays! And, with more and more qualified applicants competing each year for a limited number of coveted seats, even the strongest candidates need every advantage they can get.
To help you in this feat, we have distilled our key strategic insights and best practices from our years of firsthand experience as MBA applicants, business school admissions officers and admissions consultants to create a series of guides – the Clear Admit Strategy Series – containing strategic admissions advice about key pieces of the MBA application process.
Here is some additional information about each of the titles in the Strategy Series:
Resume Guide – Whip your resume into shape for your MBA application! This guide will teach you how to tailor the content and format of your resume to the unique requirements of the business school application process. In the back, you will find illustrative examples, a resume verb list and two full sample templates.
Recommendation Guide – Not sure who could serve as a suitable recommender? Inside this guide, you will learn what the admissions committee is looking for from a recommendation, who your best options are, and how to coach your recommenders through the writing process. This publication includes guidelines you can pass along to your recommenders, a list of frequently covered topics and two full sample recommendations.
Reapplicant Guide – Back for another round? The Clear Admit Reapplicant Guide will teach you how to analyze your applications from last year, pick a list of schools that’s right for you, boost your chances of admission, and lay out a start-to-finish plan to get in. We have included an appendix with school-specific reapplicant policies, as well as a sample reapplicant essay for your reference.
As part of the Strategy Series, we also publish a guide for waitlisted applicants, as well as a free Guide to GMAT Preparation Companies. All four guides in this series are available for immediate purchase and download in the Clear Admit Shop. If you are looking for tailored feedback on your MBA applications, fill out our online form for a free consultation.
