10 Ways to Get Into a Top Business School

  1. Get a sky-high score on the Graduate Management Admissions Test.
  2. Be yourself. Tell your real story.
  3. Don't rush to submit your application in the first round. Quality counts more than speed.
  4. Be ready to discuss any weak spots in your resume or your undergraduate transcript.
  5. Be aware of the importance of recommendations.
  6. Make sure you've asked people who know how you work for recommendations rather than people with fancy job titles.
  7. Ask one or two people to review your application.
  8. If you end up on the "wait list," make the most of it. Keep in touch with the admissions committee. Don't hound them, but keep them aprised of new information about you that casts you in a more favorable light, such as improved test results.
  9. Do your own research. The best school for me may be the worst school for you.
  10. Start the process as far in advance as you can.
