The business school application process is arduous; you need to find the right program, draft countless essays, orchestrate recommendations, and navigate the interview process. Most schools are very selective and will look at a variety of factors to determine whether or not you fit with their program. Before you are placed under their microscope, you will want to make sure that you are as prepared as you can possibly be.

What have you been told about applying to business school? With the advent of chat rooms and blogs, armchair "experts" often unintentionally propagate MBA admissions myths, which can linger and undermine your confidence as an applicant. Some applicants are led to believe, for example, that schools want a specific "type" of candidate and/or expect certain GMAT scores and GPAs. Others are led to believe that they need to know alumni from their target schools and/or get a letter of reference from the CEO of their firm to gain admission. Join Jeremy Shinewald, founder and president of mbaMission, as he debunks these and other myths, strives to alleviate your anxiety about the admissions process and refocuses you on your applications.
