It’s time. You’ve talked to people, crunched the numbers, and reflected on your path. You’ve hit a wall or found a passion. You want to make a change, earn more, and do different things. You’re ready now.

That means business school.

It’s not going to be easy. Two years away from work – missed paychecks and missed opportunities. Chances are, you’ll need to relocate too. And then there is this whole process: Applications, essays, GMAT, admissions letters of recommendations, campus visits, events, consutants, interviews. All the hours and demands – Where do you even start?

How about here?

You know the numbers: You have a one-in-five shot of getting into a top business school. To get that extra edge, you need to research – hear from the people who helped candidates get that acceptance letter. Throughout the year, Poets&Quants publishes stories from admissions consultants, adcoms, and students themselves on the best practices in every aspect of the MBA admissions process.

Not sure where to start? Not sure if you are on the right track?  Check out all of our 2023 stories covering GMAT and GRE prep, adcom and alumni interviews, and much more!
