It's never too early to start in the MBA application process. In fact due to the many elements required throughout the process, the earlier you begin the better. In order to increase your chances of getting into your top choice business school is it advised you apply by the first round deadline in October. It only becomes increasingly difficult to be accepted in each proceeding round because in each round they have less of the class to fill. We have all heard it countless times since we were small school children, that the key to success is time management. Unfortunately we can not offer any revolutionary advice that will help you complete your application with success without time management. However, we can offer you a timeline to follow to ensure you allow yourself ample time to put together a strong application.

If you have decided you would like to pursue an MBA, you know the application season is here! This process can get a little crazy, as you work on essays, take the GMAT for the first or possibly second time, all while balancing a busy working schedule. We know it’s not easy and that due to limited time you can’t apply to every school and now you must narrow down your list. We have a few tips to help you through the research process to ensure you have a final list consisting of MBA programs that will be strong fits.
