MBA applicant blogger ‘A Beautiful Mind’ dedicated a recent post to sharing advice on how to compile a list of target schools, and, in tandem, offered his thoughts on how the Clear Admit Career Guide to Consulting helped him.
When it comes to determining the schools that best suit your interests, A Beautiful Mind stresses the importance of first identifying which field you plan to enter post-MBA, and of then pinpointing schools that align with these goals. To help you narrow your list in this way, A Beautiful Mind suggests a particular tool: “A good resource for identifying relevant schools is a Clear Admit Career Guide to your target field.”
A Beautiful Mind continues on to outline his experience with the Clear Admit Career Guide to Consulting, saying that it is, “helpful in identifying the best schools for consulting.” He also makes note of the specificity of this guide, and explains that, “It is not a full fledge guide for developing a career in consulting. It’s purely a guide to b schools for consulting.” In other words, this line of publications is specifically tailored to MBA applicants who need a helping hand when it comes to deciding what schools would best support their professional ambitions.
According to A Beautiful Mind, the Clear Admit Career Guide to Consulting has a number of merits. He particularly cites the thorough nature of the guide as being beneficial: “The main pros of this guide [are] the details on each school. It has details on the curriculum structure, core and elective courses relevant to consulting (more specifically Management Consulting, but also has more), list of prominent faculty members at each school and more.” A Beautiful Mind doesn’t stop there; he goes on to draw attention to what other valuable information the guide offers its readers:
“You can gain an understanding of what exactly the school is known for in the market, the most recent class composition, placement statistics, consulting companies that visit the school and whether the most sought after companies visit the school or not. It also has the details of relevant courses, organization of these courses (like when exactly can a student, during his/her two years, take these) and the level of flexibility offered by the school. Some details on the relevant student clubs and events sponsored by the school are also mentioned in the guide.”
In the end, A Beautiful Mind summarizes his feelings towards the Clear Admit Career Guide to Consulting, asserting that, “All in all, it is a good source of information for identifying the correct school for your target field. . . a good source to begin with.”
