Own your Application – the Applicant Lab way!
Admitted to: Carnegie Mellon Tepper | Cornell Johnson | Received Scholarship | Tuck | UCLA Anderson | USC Marshall | Yale
Obstacles Overcome:

The business school application process can be pretty hectic especially as a working professional. I needed structure, guidance but also the flexibility to do it according to my own timelines. ApplicantLab was a wonderful resource. I completed all the sections and so many of the ideas outlined resonated with my own experiences and thinking.

With only 3 years of experience under my belt, I was skeptical about applying to business school. ApplicantLab helped me realize my unique strengths and ways of approaching the applications. I got admits from 6 schools with scholarships ( Tuck, Yale, Cornell, Anderson, Marshall, Tepper) and I am happy to inform you that I have matriculated at Yale 🙂

Greatest Strength:
1) A step-by-step and very comprehensive guide on various aspects of the application process – resume, story, goals.
2) You work on the parts you want to work on and on your own time.
3) I especially loved Maria’s videos- funny, creative, and a great way to understand the application process. ( esp when the going gets tough!)
4) Constructive and timely feedback.
