Military profiles at top business schools

Hi... sorry for lack of posts for the past few months, but I'll make it up with some very helpful insights for those about to go through the application process.

I'm going to highlight some of the profiles of MtB clients and their outcomes. For the purposes of this blog, I will limit it to military only (we do have clients who are not military as well). I am also going to limit the information provided to keep it somewhat generic to protect the identity of the personnel, and will spread the profiles over the past few years, so the following represents a sample from several recent years of military admissions.

The following are all profiles of military folks that MtB helped. I am only listing schools that we directly helped in, since we can't directly affect the other schools. Also, note many have only one or two schools listed since clients often withdraw from other schools after they get into their top school of choice.

Things to keep in mind:
  • The applicant "story" DOES matter... but it's not as easy to summarize, so it's not included. However, don't assume that only the factors listed below determine the outcome... it's far from it.
  • How the candidate performs on the interview also comes into play as well, and that's not captured in the following information.
  • I certainly have stories of extreme results. I had one client with a 3.1 GPA and a 640 GMAT get into Harvard, but that was atypical. The following represents a more balanced sample of outcomes:
