3 Questions to Ask Yourself When Building Your MBA Personal Brand

Ellen shares three questions to ask yourself when building a personal brand for MBA applications to top business schools. Focus on your goals, purpose, vision, and what makes you unique to strengthen your candidacy.
It is impossible to get into a top business school without a strong personal brand. But how do you create one? I'm Ellen and I share all the best kept secrets you need to get into a top mba. When developing your personal brand, there are three key questions that you need to ask yourself. Number one what are your goals for the short term and long term? Answering this question well will make sure that you present clear reasons for going back to school in your application. Number two what are your purpose and vision? It is essential that the admissions committee see how your goals will make an impact and what gets you excited about them. Passion is contagious, so if you share that in your application, you are much more likely to be remembered. What makes you unique? 80% of people who apply to business school are absolute rock stars who are fully qualified to be admitted. So you get in by standing out. So if you ask yourself these three questions and build a robust personal brand that you use consistently throughout your application, they'll stand out at some of the world's most competitive business schools. And that's a secret worth sharing.
