Think you need a finance or consulting background to get into a top MBA program? Think again! As a former journalist and publicist, I was often told my profile was "non-traditional" — and then got accepted to all five schools I applied to, including Columbia, Kellogg, and Yale SOM.
In this free session, I'll walk you through how to turn your unique background into your biggest advantage. We'll cover how to frame a non-linear career path into a compelling narrative, what admissions committees are actually looking for beyond the usual suspects, essay and interview strategies that help you stand out (not blend in), and common mistakes non-traditional applicants make and how to avoid them.
Whether you're coming from media, healthcare, nonprofits, the military, or any path that doesn't fit the "typical" MBA mold — this one's for you. Bring your questions!
