Words of Wisdom: 1. Learn everything you can about your prospective schools - subscribe to student blogs, reach out to Student Ambassadors, go on a class visit, visit school booths at MBA Career Fairs, etc. 2. Visit every single school to which you apply. This is one of the best ways for a prospective student to get a realistic picture of what it would be like as a student on that particular campus. 3. Talk to as many people as you can from your prospective schools - mentors, admissions, current students, alum, etc. 4. Remember, this is a two-way street. The school has to like you, but, more importantly, you have to like the school. *Bonus: If you start the application process early enough, you may be able to qualify for business school prep-programs like MLT, JumpStart and The Consortium.
Why I chose Goizueta: Not only is Goizueta Business School a top 20 school, but also it is one of the highest in rankings for post-MBA job placement! Overall, what really sold me on Goizueta was the fit. All students help each other perform at their highest potential without competition nor judgment. The rankings are great, but I also wanted a close network that would support me even after graduation. I found that group at GBS.
