  • MBA waitlist Strategies; Yield & Acceptance rates of Top B-schools

    2 April, by admitStreet
    Securing a spot in a top-tier MBA program is a challenging feat, and while being placed on a waitlist may feel disheartening, it is not the end of the road. The MBA waitlist is an opportunity for prospective students to showcase their continued interest and commitment to the business school.

    In this write-up, we cover key steps you can take when on an MBA waitlist, providing insights on increasing your chances of getting off the waitlist and highlighting things to avoid. Understanding the yield and acceptance rates of top B-schools is also important in framing your approach.

    Original article on MBA Waitlist Strategies published here

    Yield & Acceptance rates of top B-schools are here

    How to get off the MBA waitlist

    To increase your chances of moving off the business school waitlist, consider taking the following strategic actions:

    1. Acknowledge the Decision Promptly
    Respond to the waitlist notification promptly, expressing your appreciation for the opportunity and confirming your continued interest in the program. This initial step signals your commitment and professionalism.

    2.Request Feedback
    Politely request feedback on your application. While not all schools provide detailed feedback, some may offer insights into areas that could be strengthened. Use this information to tailor your strategy during the waitlist period.

    3. Submit a Letter of Continued Interest
    Craft a compelling letter expressing your ongoing interest in the program. Highlight any relevant updates, restate your commitment, and share specific reasons why the school remains your top choice. This letter is an opportunity to demonstrate your enthusiasm and commitment.

    4. Provide Substantive Updates
    Use the waitlist period to submit substantial updates to your application. This can include achievements at work, retaking the GMAT/ GRE or taking IELTS/ TOEFL (if you feel necessary), additional certifications, promotions, or any noteworthy personal or professional developments. Ensure that these updates align with the values of the business school.

    5. Submit Additional Recommendations
    If the school allows, consider submitting additional letters of recommendation ideally from alumni who know you or have worked with you. Choose recommenders who can provide new insights into your qualifications, emphasizing your fit for the program and your potential contributions to the academic community.

    6. Maintain a Positive Tone in Communications
    Ensure that all your communications with the admissions office exude positivity. Avoid expressing frustration or impatience, as this can create a negative impression. Keep your messages optimistic and focused on your commitment to the program.

    7. Be Mindful of Communication Frequency
    Avoid excessive communication that may come across as pushy or desperate. Adhere to any guidelines provided by the admissions office regarding updates and inquiries. Quality and relevance of communication are more important than quantity.

    8. Prepare for Possible Interviews
    Some schools may conduct interviews with waitlisted candidates. Be prepared for such an opportunity by reviewing your application, understanding the schools culture, and being ready to discuss your fit for the program.

    Things NOT to do while on an MBA waitlist

    While navigating the MBA waitlist, its crucial to avoid certain actions that could potentially harm your chances or create a negative impression. Here are things NOT to do when you find yourself on an MBA waitlist:

    1. Do Not Be Pushy or Aggressive
    Avoid being overly assertive or aggressive in your communications with the admissions office. Respect the schools process and timelines. Bombarding them with excessive emails or phone calls can be perceived as impatience and may reflect poorly on your professionalism.

    2. Do Not Submit Excessive Materials
    While submitting updates to your application is encouraged, refrain from inundating the admissions committee with excessive or irrelevant materials. Quality matters more than quantity. Focus on meaningful updates that enhance your candidacy.

    3. Avoid Negative Behavior
    Refrain from expressing frustration, disappointment, or negativity on public forums, social media, or in direct communications with the school. Maintaining a positive and professional demeanor is essential, even if you feel discouraged.

    4. Do Not Contact Admissions Too Frequently
    While its important to stay engaged, avoid contacting the admissions office too frequently. Adhere to any guidelines provided by the school regarding updates and communications. Being overly persistent may create a negative impression.

    5. Avoid Sending Generic Communications
    Tailor your communications to the specific school rather than using generic templates. Avoid sending the same letter of continued interest to multiple schools. Personalized and thoughtful messages are more effective in conveying your genuine interest.

    6. Do Not Disregard School Policies
    Adhere to the waitlist policies and guidelines provided by the school. Ignoring or disregarding these instructions may create unnecessary complications and may even result in a negative evaluation of your application.

    Final Thoughts

    Navigating the MBA waitlist is a unique challenge that requires a blend of proactivity, patience, and positivity. By understanding the reasons behind waitlist placements and following a strategic approach, you can maximize your chances of converting the waitlist.

  • How to use the "Show, Dont Tell" approach to win MBA essays?

    30 March, by MBAGuide
    If you've ever worked with a diligent admissions consultant or a mentor figure who pushed you to your wit's end during the strenuous essay writing process, chances are high that you would have heard the person say, "Hey Sam, show, dont tell in your essays!" And if you dont ever recall them telling you anything even remotely similar, you have some important life decisions to make (and choose a better mentor)!

    The "Show, don't tell" approach is a cornerstone of writing compelling journalism or business school essays, as in our case. It is the strategy that successful B-school applicants leverage to vividly illustrate their experiences and attributes through specific examples and impactful storytelling.
    The bone-dry piece of sample writing you see below in blue (example of telling) is very similar to the initial drafts MBA applicants write because they have no idea how to sway the admissions committees with vividness and emotions. When applicants fail to understand the importance of the "Show" approach, two things will happen:
    1. It shows a lack of creativity. Being creative is a highly sought-after attribute in an MBA applicant. A person who cannot be a good storyteller, will likely not be able to convince bosses, clients, or team members in the post-MBA jobs.
    2. It gives the adcoms an opportunity to play the critic and challenge your claims of being a top notch leader due to the lack of evidence.
    Can you compare the two example below and clearly understand the difference between Telling and Showing. I have made the differences in these paragraphs more pronounced for applicants who are just starting with the application writing. However, an expert eye can easily critique even the seemingly well written example of Tell type.

    Example of telling- As an army officer, I was deployed to a high-stakes mission in a volatile region, where I led a team of soldiers in executing strategic operations under intense pressure and uncertainty. Our mission required precise planning, quick decision-making, and effective communication to achieve our objectives and ensure the safety of our personnel. Despite facing numerous challenges and adversities, my team and I completed our mission, earning accolades from our superiors for our professionalism, resilience, and commitment to excellence. This experience solidified my belief in my leadership abilities and reinforced my determination to excel in demanding environments.

    Example of Showing- In 2013, I led my first commanding operation to mobilize Floods Disaster Management Operations within a 150 km radius in Kedarnath. As the cloudburst hit us, I briefed my 40 soldiers about the exigency of disaster and procedures to evacuate civilians. As rubbles flowed down the Himalayas, safeguarding military communication equipment with security algorithms posed additional challenges to National Security. My mens morale dampened as dead bodies piled up in debris. Hollering words of encouragement amidst the chaos, I urged my team to strive. I alerted civil authorities and secured standby equipment to safeguard military communication devices. After 48 hours of strenuous efforts, my team rescued alive at least 50 civilians. The Civil Authorities awarded us the Army Chiefs Commendation for exceptional bravery. One can acquire the best theories on management and leadership, but having managed men and critical resources in grim situations first-hand, I will bring my practical experiences to ABC MBA

    If you were an admissions evaluator, which piece of writing would you prefer?

    Heres another example, albeit a more complex one-

    Example of Telling-"I became a doctor because I was interested in solving problems since childhood."

    Example of Showing-"I vividly remember when our trusty family radio fell silent, how my ten-year-old self found an ailing capacitor through trial and error. With a newfound understanding of its inner workings, I breathed life back into radio, leading to the joyous resurgence of music. In retrospect, the gratification I derive from restoration and pursuit of solutions has been integral to my decision to explore the intricate tapestry of life itself within the field of medicine."

    One sentence has turned into multiple sentences, but the updated paragraph reveals the applicants thought process and his love for fixing problems. It becomes clear that the person did not choose medicine because all of his friends did. His fascination is in the mental stimulation that precedes the resolve.
    In the admissions process, while your GMAT scores, academic background, and resume play a role, they can only take you so far. As a serious applicant, you must be willing to go beyond these basics and dedicate time to self-reflection. This deeper understanding of yourself will shine through in your essays and make a significant impact on your application.

    Needless to say, essays that extensively follow the Show, dont tell approach have 10 times more chances of receiving invitations from the most competitive B-school programs. And yet, something as simple as giving examples often gets overlooked in essays because applicants lack the understanding or proper guidance during the B-school journey.
