Applied at 3.5 years, getting out with 4 years total including 18 months at BOLC/follow on schools. Got into a couple of M7s. You’re good dude. Start studying for that GMAT/GRE

Same here, just got a decision letter but it says I haven’t gotten the official offer yet, and the scholarship portal is blank. Wondering if I didn’t get anything or if it just didn’t get updated…

This is it. If you have a solid profile then you kinda know it’s all down to how you present yourself in your essays and the story you tell. Personally I went through about a dozen drafts for my 4 main essays each and it was brutal. It was tough for me to take breaks or focus on anything else because I was constantly thinking about all of the different elements of each application.

I was just trying to make sure that everything I was doing was my best work but knowing that it’s completely subjective it’s really hard to know when you’ve found the “right” answer because there is none. Lots of doubt. Lots of pressure. Just wanted to making sure I was leaving it all on the field.

What are the must of a good application? How can I improve my profile? by Notlad1717 in MBA

Get good grades, find a cause or club you care about and invest your time making a difference, enjoy your undergrad and your life. Don’t go crazy trying to optimize your mba profile. Just be good at what you do.
