Business School Application Strategy

Applying to graduate schools can be a daunting undertaking, but if you break it down into manageable parts it doesn’t have to be as complicated as it may seem. The enrollment team at Hult International Business School recommends applicants start by taking inventory of their personal strengths and weaknesses, experience, and post-graduate career goals.

Understanding where you stand and where you want to go, will help you present yourself in a clear, honest, and effective manner. This exercise will not only help you organize your thoughts as you compile your résumé and the required essay, but it will also bring to light what type of school will best fit your needs.

Begin by making a list of the following:
- Strengths & weaknesses
- Learned skills (i.e. majored in economics)
- Life experience(i.e. studied abroad)
- Extracurricular activities (i.e. involved in community work)
- Learning style (preference for small class size or hands-on learning)
- Desired location (near home or willing to relocate)
- Length of program / time commitment
- Career goals / specialized path

Once you have outlined these key details for yourself, you will be well on your way to compiling a unique and effective application package to get yourself into the school that will best serve your needs.
