For many successful MBA graduates, rejection wasn’t the end of the journey—it was the turning point. Reapplying, when done with strategy and reflection, can transform a setback into a powerful statement of resilience, growth, and renewed focus. Admissions committees respect applicants who demonstrate perseverance, self-awareness, and the ability to learn from experience. This workshop will help you turn a “ding” into a competitive edge. You’ll learn how to conduct a clear-eyed assessment of your previous application, highlight tangible growth, refine your goals and school selection, and approach the reapplication essay with authenticity and impact. More than damage control, this is your chance to show the admissions committee that you are stronger, more prepared, and more committed than ever. By the end of this session, you will be able to: * Conduct a candid self-assessment to identify weaknesses in your previous application and opportunities for improvement. * Demonstrate tangible growth through professional achievements, academic progress, and deeper extracurricular impact since your last application. * Refine your school strategy by aligning more precisely with programs where your fit and competitiveness are strongest. * Craft a powerful reapplicant essay that emphasizes resilience, growth, and renewed commitment—without excuses. * Strengthen recommendations and school engagement by securing enthusiastic advocates and deepening authentic connections with your target programs.
