"It gave me a reality check. I now know where I am, and where I need to be!"

"Helpful lesson from Ben & Alex. To improve the content, instead of showcasing just one batch of good essays that got someone admitted to GSB, showcase some mediocre and poor ones as well. A good, bad, and ugly approach. "

Frequently asked questions
Anyone serious about getting into one of the top business schools in the world. We do everything we can to get you as prepared as possible to navigate this competitive application process.
The earlier you are, the more time you have to prepare. The number one mistake that applicants make is not giving themselves enough time to craft their story and application. This bootcamp is a great way to avoid that and make sure you're starting off on the right foot.
This bootcamp is designed to fully equip you for acceptance to a top MBA program. By the end of the sessions, you will:
- have a clear idea of the best narrative and app strategy for your background and goals.
- know who to select for your recommenders and have completed a polished recommender prep doc.
- have an outline for your MBA essays and have started drafting them for your multiple schools.
- understand how to ace your MBA interviews with live prep sessions and custom feedback.
- feel comfortable navigating your target schools' specific applications.
- ... and more!
The curriculum also includes custom assignments and personalized interactive activities for maximum impact. Business schools are competitive, but this bootcamp will give you all the tools you need to stand out.
The bootcamp is beneficial for both people with and without an MBA coach.
If you don’t have a coach, this course will give you a strong foundation that you can build on with a coach after the bootcamp or on your own. You’ll hear from 10+ expert coaches, and make meaningful progress on every part of the application. If you do have a coach, this course will give you a structured learning experience and diverse suite of perspectives, as well as custom activities that you can then take to the next level with your coach.
If you'd like coaching but aren't sure where to start, get a custom coach match.
Much of the content will be relevant but if you’re applying deferred, we highly recommend signing up for the Deferred MBA Bootcamp in January 2026. Reserve your spot.
