This episode is specially designed for applicants from military backgrounds… but if you think this is JUST for applicants from military backgrounds, you are WRONG. This episode is for anyone applying to business school from a nontraditional background. Today, our host, Chandler, will be joined by SBC consultant Margaret, who has been working with MBA aspirants—with a special focus on military applicants—since 2000. Margaret has successfully worked with every type of client imaginable, with a very high percentage receiving merit scholarships. Her clients now appear on the alumni rosters of every top school. In part one of this conversation, Margaret and Chandler will discuss: • Common misconceptions applicants from military backgrounds have about applying to business school,
• Unique application assets many military applicants have (and how to leverage these), and
• Common pitfalls applicants from military backgrounds should avoid. In part two of this conversation, we will continue the dialogue to cover a range of additional topics, including: • The best advice Margaret has for applicants from military (and other nontraditional) backgrounds,
• Success stories from military applicants (and how these can help you in your own applications), and
• Several last pieces of secret advice for applicants from military backgrounds. Listen to this B-Schooled episode right here or on any of the major podcast platforms below. B-Schooled is available on most major podcast apps, including:
