Getting into the best B school is not all about making it to the top of the GMAT or CAT chart. Chances are in spite of making it to the top you may end up getting an admission into a business school which is not your choice at all. Hurry! Get into some serious preparatory work that can be of great help down the road.
Make a long list: Based on attributes such as size, reputation, setting, competitiveness, area of expertise, and other factors make a list of 12-15 business schools. Gather information about them and take in to consideration outside sources. Long list of schools enables you to eliminate those that do not fit your preferences later. The list being long, you will still end up with a handful of schools to apply to at the end of the day.
Weigh out your chances of admission at the MBA programs: Clear your knowledge about the chances of admission. It will help you to decide whether you need to reconsider a more suitable range of business schools.
Visiting business schools is advantageous: You can sit it in on a class, have a chat with current students, and meet and interact with some of the admissions staff. Most importantly you can get a feel of the school's ambiance.
Make ultimate decisions about where to apply: Since the top MBA programs are extremely competitive, it is advisable that you send your application to several B schools as possible without compromising the quality of your applications.
With proper planning and by preparing yourself will give you an edge over the others. Your applications will be stronger and you will experience fewer bumps in the road. Wishing you luck!
