Hi just trying to see if anyone has anymore advice. I'll be finally getting my apps in within the next couple weeks. I plan on talking to alumni, students, and faculty, and I'll be highlighting it in my essays to show my commitment. I'll also be visiting my now top choice next week and plan on sitting in on a class or two and introducing myself to faculty. I'm hoping that'll really make me stand out, especially considering it's 6 1/2 hours away.

I have a couple more stuff I plan to get done to sweeten my app, but I just want to make sure I stick out above the rest as much as I can. I have my recommendations lined up so that's no problem. If anybody has any advice, please let me know, I'm finally at the last leg.

Thanks.

Any advice on the applications, what to talk about, how to apply, who I should reach out to, try to visit yay or nay, Linkedin advice, how to make yourself stand out, etc, etc would be appreciated. I've contacted admissions at every school and have done research on the schools, alumni, the degree, the cities, etc.

My GPA is not where I wanted it, but everyone insists they look holistically. I'm hoping my upcoming GRE score will help balance that. I know the range I need to shoot for this time, and then I'll have my other tangibles: rec letters, volunteer experience, real world experience, etc.

Luckily the business programs I'm looking into are tailored for recent graduates who don't have a sea of work experience. Basically an MBA jr. Thank you so much.
My advice? You should be building a career not getting an MBA Jr.

Why? Few students at top tier MBA programs would be asking these questions as they are beyond them...
