For the many casualties of the current economic downturn, enrolling in a leading MBA program is emerging as an increasingly attractive option. Considered by many to be a safe haven in times of widespread market distress, enrollment in an MBA program offers students the opportunity ride out the height of the economic crisis as well as the ability to reenter stabilizing industries with enhanced credentials upon completion of the program.
“While many professionals step out of the workforce for a couple of years and reset their career paths in business school, ex-bankers and others affected by the economic downturn may find it especially difficult to set themselves apart from a crowded field of similar-looking applicants when they apply to business school,” explains Scott Shrum, director of MBA admissions research at Veritas Prep, a leading GMAT prep and MBA admissions consulting company, and co-author of Your MBA Game Plan: Proven Strategies for Getting Into the Top Schools. “Furthermore, business schools are wary of the applicant who appears to have chosen business school by default.”
Whether they decided to pursue an MBA five years ago or five hours ago, Veritas Prep MBA Admissions Blueprint event can help students effectively articulate their candidacies and ace the business school application process.
