The B-School Admissions Pizza!!!

B-School admissions is like making a 6-slice pizza!  

According to the Admission Officers at UCLA Anderson School of Management these six criteria are used to evaluate an applicant:

1.  Work Experience - Leadership Potential
2.  Essays
3.  Previous Education
4.  GMAT
5.  Recommendations
6.  Interview

One of the things that the Admission Officers at UCLA stress upon is that ALL 6 of the above factors ARE IMPORTANT. Therefore, to getting a successful B-School admit, you need to COMPLETE ALL the 6-Slices of the Pizza.

But, from what we have seen, most of the candidates’ spend a lot of time and energy on the GMAT, and don’t devote the same resources to the other aspects of the B-School admission.

So, most of the times B-School Admission Pizza looks like this.

           or this

            

Or in many cases, just like this……

So don’t focus it all on just 1 area. If you really need to get into your dream B-School what you need is an incredible amount of thought and effort being put in ALL the 6 departments.

So you not only need to know how to crack the GMAT, but also how to highlight your past achievements and leadership potential. You need to know how to present yourself through the essays you write and through your CV you upload.

In fact, your B-School admission decision depends on more on your CV than just your GMAT score. Why? Because, your CV encapsulates 2 of the 6 slices of pizza. Your CV speaks about your Work Experience and your Previous Education. And; just like your job interviewer would do, your CV is the first item that is evaluated by the Admissions Committee.
