Admissions Tip #1: You better have a story

Will an awesome GMAT score and 5 years of work experience at a Fortune 500 help you get into Owen, maybe… but you NEED to be able to answer three big questions:

  1. Why do you want an MBA
  2. Why do you want a Vanderbilt MBA
  3. And why now?

There are people with phenomenal backgrounds at Owen, here is mini-list from my 1am consciousness:

You have your fair share of I-Bankers, Consultants, Real Estate Developers, Engineers, Economists, Musicians, Medical Doctors, PhDs, HR Professionals, Lawyers, Teachers, Marketing Executives… you get the picture.

My point: You better have a story!
