Any tips on how to start and prepare my MBA Application? I don’t plan on applying till 2022 as I want to attend in 2023. What are things I can do to prepare now in order to have a strong application?Background: I’m aiming for HSW, M7, and top 15. I’m currently a Staff at EY within Business Consulting. I graduated from a Top 25 Business Undergrad - majoring in Finance and minor in Advertising with a 3.71 GPA. I want to pivot towards PM or Corporate Strategy in Tech, at Toyota, or Nike. TIA!

If you want to go to business school, yes. If not, no.
Depends who your dad is
I would say a good GPA/good target school with a solid application is a fair counterbalance to not taking a gmat
I think taking the GMAT (if you have the time, etc) is pretty fun independent of actually going to Business School - a lot of the math and logic puzzles are very interesting and the test really motivated me to study and prep during Covid.
Go to SAIS
Score lasts for 5 years. If you see yourself going to business school in that time frame then yes
Also, look at some schools you would be interested in and look at their gmat score ranges so you have an idea of how you’re gonna have to do on the test
Test scores aren’t the only piece of MBA applications, but are one of things you can control / use to try to fill gaps in other parts of your application
Not unless you’re going a Top 10 program. Otherwise go to school that’s ABET accredited, doesn’t require the gmat, and cheap. State schools can often be good choices.
To P1’s point the score last 5 years so if you’re not working and have time to devote to studying do it. It’s a pretty challenging exam if you’re aiming for a top 10-15 school
