Tip # 1: Start early.
As you begin to think about going back to get your MBA, It’s important to spend the timeresearching schools and developing a list of schools that you are interestedin. Each program is unique and you want to make sure you have a goodfeel for the program: academics and career fit as well as the environment,city, community, and culture of the school. It’s a big investment for you to give up working for two years to come back to school full-time, so we believe it’s important to takethe time to visit schools (if you can in person) or at least be able to meetwith alums or school representatives when they are visiting a city near you.Some programs may also offer informational interviews before you apply to theirprogram (either through Skype, phone, or in person) and that is a great way totalk one on one with someone from the admissions team to discuss yourparticular background and interests and determine if that program is a good fitfor you. Talking to students, alums, admissions staff, and career advisors areall good ways to invest your time before you apply.

对于在职人士来说，申请MBA 意味着很早就要准备你感兴趣的学校，抽空去学校看一下，如果没有机会，最好找该学校的校友了解一下你感兴趣学校的特点。

Tip # 2: Develop a game plan.

Once you have done your research and youknow what schools you are planning to apply to, you need to create a game planand timeline for when you will be ready to submit your application. Each schoolhas different deadlines and some of the earlier deadlines are funding rounds, so you want to pay closeattention to what each school requires and when their deadlines are.With that said, you also want to make sure that you apply when your bestapplication is ready. We would rather receive your best application in one ofour spring deadlines, than one in that fall that didn’t allow you to proofreadyour essays or re-take the GMAT.

Once you submit the application, thereis not a way to go back and make changes, so you want to make sure yourapplication is complete and you’ve taken the time to submit all of thesupporting documents and materials that are also required (resume,recommendations letters, submitting test scores, transcripts, etc.). You should create a spreadsheetwith a checklist for each program that you’re applying to. This will allow youto easily manage deadlines and keep track of the items you’ve already submittedto one school.

做一个excel 表格，记录每个学校需要的材料，每个学校的申请截止日期。这样可以做到万无一失，而且很好的控制你的时间。

Tip # 3: Remember it is a holistic process.

There is not any one part of theapplication that outweighs everything else. Even if someone scored a perfect onthe GMAT or the GRE, it doesn’t mean they are automatically admitted to theprogram. We do read through your entire application and it’s important to keepin mind that there are several factors we are heavily considering when weevaluate an application. We look at the quantitative side – past academic work, your GPA, where youstudied, your degree, the courses and curriculum you took. We also look at anyMasters or Graduate work you’ve already completed. On the qualitative side,we’re looking at work experience and contributions you’ll make to the MBAprogram. Again, it comes back to that “fit” we discussed in Tip # 1. Aswe are reading your application, we are evaluating you under three underliningitems: academic fit, career fit, and community/peer fit.

几乎所有学校审核材料的时候都是整体的看。但是优异的GMAT一定会帮助到你，尤其是优异的quant 部分。当然还有你的以前工作经历， GPA，你的本科学历，课程设置等等都在考虑范围内。
