It was a few days before New Year’s when I received my much-desired GMAT score. At that time, I was eager to wrap up the application endeavor quickly – after all, I got into a good school in Round 1 and I was hopeful my new GMAT could allow for scholarship. However, fate had other plans for me, and I’m glad I discussed my situation with Maria, who helped me understand the selling points of my profile better. Her encouragement and pep talk boosted my determination to aim higher in Round 2, and without her, I would not have dared to apply to MIT Sloan, which I always considered out of my league. With only two weeks left until the application deadline, I had to work hard, but ApplicantLab’s resources were instrumental in helping me flourish. A few months later, I received the happiest call of my life from Sloan at midnight.
While I had already sorted out other parts of my application (resume, recommendation, behavioral interview etc) in Round 1 with the help of many resources and people that I’m eternally grateful for, including ApplicantLab, its detailed guide on the essay section was invaluable. I had never written a cover letter or made a video essay for a business school before, but the insider guide that ApplicantLab provided helped me focus on what to expect. Having appealing stories is still essential, but the guide gave me confidence in crafting essays that showcased my best self while ticking all the boxes. The guide also helped me choose between schools as it highlighted the qualities that each school values and how they aligned with my desired goals for an MBA experience. Overall, I highly recommend ApplicantLab as a great resource for anyone looking to apply to top MBA programs.
I want to give a special shoutout to Maria, Carin, and the whole ApplicantLab team. Without their support and resources, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my dream of getting into MIT Sloan. It’s also important to note that the effectiveness of a self-guided tool like ApplicantLab course greatly depends on how you use it. If you find yourself feeling unsure or inexperienced as an applicant, ApplicantLab’s consulting services might be fantastic complements to your journey. In any case, you can’t go wrong with ApplicantLab – an exceptional and cost-efficient resource!
