80/20 for Round 2 MBA Applications: What Really Matters

Join me for a fast, practical mini‑workshop that cuts through the noise. In 20 minutes, we’ll focus on the small set of actions that drive most results for Round 2: making your quant signal (GMAT/GRE and transcript) competitive or contextualized, telling a clear goals story backed by evidence, proving work impact on your resume and in recommendations, and submitting early and clean. Then, 20–25 minutes of live Q&A. Who this is for: Applicants targeting top MBA programs in Round 2 (consulting, tech, finance, startup, nonprofit, and military backgrounds). Candidates deciding between a test retake and doubling down on essays and recommendations. Anyone who wants a concrete plan they can execute in the next 6–10 weeks. You’ll learn: -What adcoms actually prioritize and why (academics, work impact, goals and fit, execution quality). -A one‑line positioning statement to anchor your application (X background → Y strengths → Z post‑MBA goal). -A goals and impact essay outline you can draft tonight. -Resume bullet formula that forces outcomes and metrics (scope → action → result). -Recommender game plan and optional‑essay dos and don’ts to handle GPA gaps or job moves. -A 6‑week sprint timeline to submit with confidence, plus how to stretch to a 10‑week plan if you start earlier.
