A guide to my resources for reapplicants
Apr, 25, 2011
I love reapplicants because they approach the admissions process with a level of commitment, realism, and focus that only the best first-time applicants can match. Failure is a harsh teacher, but for intelligent people, a great one. For fall 2011, my reapplicant clients obtained admission at HBS, Stanford GSB, Haas, Chicago Booth, INSEAD and Columbia University Law School LL.M as well as number of other programs.
When a client comes to me for reapplication, I typically review one or more their applications and the use that as basis for developing a new set of winning strategies. Most reapplicants are coming to me for the first time, though I have certainly worked with an existing clients who come to me for reapplication after an initial effort has not succeeded. I customize my reapplication service to meet a meet client’s specific needs as I offer reapplication counseling as part of both a one-time service and as part of comprehensive counseling.
I wanted to let any new readers to my blog know about my resources for reapplicants. I think the best place to start is my June 2010 Reapplication for Success Webinar Transcript and Slides post. Also see my MBA Reapplication: Why were you dinged? Now what? post. If you are feeling historical, read my 2007 post on learning from failure after first round dings.
