MBA Ding Analysis - Reapply with Confidence

An MBA rejection can be disappointing and difficult to interpret. This package is designed to help you step back, understand what may have held your application back, and build a strategic plan for improving your candidacy as a reapplicant. I’ll review your prior application materials, including your school selection, academic profile, career goals, essays, recommendations (if available), and overall positioning. We'll have a call to discuss the findings, answer questions, and identify the most important changes to make before reapplying.
What's included
This package includes asynchronous review of your materials and a one-hour live coaching session. If we decide to work together on a comprehensive package for the next application cycle, the cost of this package will be credited toward that package. This credit does not apply to hourly coaching.
- A candid assessment of your application’s strengths and vulnerabilties
- Clear priorities for improving your profile and positioning
