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!

I’m going to be so honest and cynical for a sec.. unless I’m working with an extremely experienced client, the kick off/initial briefing is usually so far off base from where the job ends up that it’s not worth asking questions. You always get clearer direction and the “real” brief after the first creative presentation.
What brands/recent work do you admire? (You can learn alotttt about their appetite and taste for good work on this q)
And that in of itself is a learning. Sounds like the same client that would ask for something to ‘go viral’.
But yeah taste is different than creative appetite but to me it’s helpful to know if your client has absolutely no idea what makes great work.
I think you can steer the convo to make it a productive one.

What's the REAL business problem to solve here? If they only give you a marketing problem to solve, hold their feet to the fire. Many clients don't know the difference and will need help getting there.
