(Redlands, CA, 09/15/11) Because of the global recession and the high level of unemployment, more and more people are reinvesting in their own personal human capital by going back to school. A sizable collection of this wave of applicants is applying to MBA programs. This makes for a tougher competitive environment for mid tier to upper tier MBA programs because they already historically have many applicants, but the recession is also pushing many applicants with quite formidable business backgrounds into the applicant pool.
There is also flight to quality among this applicant pool as more and more people who would normally apply to lower to mid tier MBA programs now apply to higher rank programs. They are doing this because as the job market remains soft, many are banking on the name recognition and prestige of more highly ranked programs to give them a competitive advantage in securing employment. However, the MBA application process has many myths and following these myths might adversely impact your MBA admission chances.
Eliminating the myths
"One very common myth is that the essay portion of the MBA admission process is mere formality," said McKenzie Jamieson, media relations officer for mbaapplicationessays.com, the internet's leading provider of resources which help applicants write their statement of purpose for MBA admissions. This myth is often perpetrated and repeated by MBA admission consultants. Jamieson is quoted as saying that the truth of the matter is MBA essay questions go a long way in answering admissions committee questions regarding an applicant's overall leadership characteristics and management potential. Another key myth that is fairly common over the internet is that the MBA essay is really your resume in narrative form.
According to Jamieson, "Nothing is more fatal to your admissions chances than merely listing your resume and not drawing a connection between your specific background and experience and the scenario post by the admission essay question." In an effort to dispel much of the MBA admission essay myths prevalent both online and off line, mbaapplicationessays.com has released its topic selection guide to help applicants craft a better statement of purpose MBA admissions committees would like. The guide focuses on a key element of the statement of purpose writing process, which is topic selection.
Jamieson is quoted as saying that while many MBA programs select a particular topic for an applicant, an applicant's selection of an angle in handling this topic goes a long way in establishing credibility with the reader of the essay.
