I’m looking at applying to MBA programs and know most have veteran/military programs and clubs that seem to offer help with the admissions process. These are obviously very competitive schools and I’d like to use any resource possible, but I can’t tell if these are only intended for people transitioning from active duty. I’ve only been in the Reserve (with a deployment) and have an established civilian career. Does anyone know if these groups would be receptive to me?

Definitely reach out to the clubs, and S2S too.

Kellogg is certainly very open to all types. I would imagine most other programs are as well.

I think they’d be receptive

They’re mostly targeted to active duty folks who have transitioned in the last 0-2ish years. That being said we had some reserve folks in our group at a top MBA program

Yeah for sure! Feel free to reach out to the school to be connected with veterans that have attended. You could also reach out via LinkedIn by searching for target school and branch.

Some of the programs (Service2School) focus more on the direct transition to education but the university clubs are just vets in it to help vets. I may be an optimist but I can't imagine anyone being turned away.

I think they would welcome you...happy to share more if you have any targeted questions. Feel free to reach out.
