HoundsGood: Chronicles of a Virtual Volunteer

My cousin recently has shopped around for assistance for her mba school application.  She has found that the application process and acceptance is extremely competitive. It is hard to imagine that if your academic record is very impressive, that it would be so hard to get into a program that you will be paying into, rather than them paying you. On the other hand, I have been looking for a job lately, and I second guess myself time about my qualifications. I couldn’t comprehend until now that she was going through the same internal dialogue.

Admit Advantage is a service that she has looked at. It is group that focuses on helping you mold yourself into a stronger candidate.  Indecision really plagues many potential students. On the one hand, you want to appear to be open minded about the ultimate career path you will take, but if you are not careful, it looks like you are very unfocused and not quite so driven.  There is no way that you will be accepted into the program that is your first selection if you appear that you are willing to blow whichever way the wind takes you, rather than exhibiting the more positive trait of adaptivity.

There is complementary admissions assessment that helps you determine if you are truly ready to send in your application, and if not, how to get there. Often, when you apply to a program, there is only one chance to make a first impression.  One typically does not get to amend their application if they think that it is poor.

If you are pursuing this path in life, I wish you the best of luck, and encourage you to put your best foot forward.
