Submitting a strong application to a top MBA program around the globe can be a lot of things - intense, fun and undoubtedly interesting. But after having been there and done that (phew!), I can assuredly claim that amongst many things, it is most importantly, exhausting! There is so much to do beyond just giving the GMAT or just writing why you want to do an MBA. But wherever you might be in your MBA journey, you would have heard this before - get to know the school as much as you can.
A great way to commence with that is by attending the several events and webinars that schools organize. Not only is this a great opportunity to interact with the people who might be reviewing your application but also an effective way to gauge how well you and the school fit with each other. Amidst many other things that transpired in the last one year, owing to the Covid pandemic, all MBA events shifted to an online medium. And as an international applicant, I truly believe that this shift came in as a blessing in disguise!
