Watch It Now

“When you’re competing in the MBA realm, it’s not just about academics. It’s not just about work experience. It’s not just about your personal story. It’s a holistic approach. And I knew that I had a story to tell that made me a little unique from most applicants or at least would help me stand apart from those who had similar backgrounds in finance that I did.”

“I applied to three schools but didn’t get in any of them, including my dream school, which is Harvard. This time around, I just didn’t want to take no for an answer. So, I worked with The Art of Applying. I applied to 10 schools, and so far I interviewed with 7 of them. Of all the places I’ve interviewed, I’ve been offered admissions at six, including my dream school, which is Harvard.”
