We have repeatedly emphasized the importance of starting the MBA application process months before you hit SUBMIT; the early stages of an MBA application have nothing to do with the form you will fill out. Months before any deadline you should start your application process with self-evaluation and school research to determine where you should apply.
Initially school research will comprise reading books and brochures, checking out websites, and perhaps talking to friends and colleagues. It will almost always include visits to MBA fairs and school receptions. QS Top MBA provides a unique forum for school research through its Connect 1-2-1, an innovative program that matches MBA candidates with admissions representatives from top business schools around the world for a one-on-one meeting. These personal appointments have proven extremely successful in allowing applicants and admissions staff to assess fit and compatibility.
As with all interactions with a prospective MBA program, the Connect 1-2-1 half-hour meetings also give applicants an opportunity to make a good impression in a crowd-free, uninterrupted environment. Conducted as a sort of “pre-interview interview,” top candidates also benefit from a chance to prepare for their real MBA interviews a few months down the line.
