Month 5:


1. Ensure LORs are ready to go. Follow up with your recommenders and make sure they are on track. Ask your recommenders if they need any additional information from you.

2. Work on short answer questions and video essays. Allocate enough time for short answer questions. Often these questions take longer than you might think and are an important part of the application. 

3. Proofread, proofread, proofread. ALWAYS get someone unfamiliar with your applications to do a thorough review. 

4. Research options for visiting campus, if it is safe to do so. While we do not know whether traveling will be a safe option this application cycle, we certainly hope it will be! By getting a jump start on your other application components while quarantining at home, you will free yourself up to visit schools when health conditions allow. 

Keep in mind that while it is great to have the full five months (or more) to prepare, Personal MBA Coach regularly works with clients who start later in the year and craft custom timelines accordingly. Similarly, many candidates (especially those applying to an early decision program) work well ahead of these timelines!
