The Key Pieces of My Application: Stand Out and Get In

It’s not enough to simply fill out an application. Applicants who effectively tell a story with the key pieces of the application are the ones who get in.

Each part of a business school application is an opportunity to convey to the admissions committee more of your personal narrative and how being a part of their program will take you where you want to go. But how do you put together an application that stand outs among an applicant pool full of qualified candidates?
