Crafting Your Story for Business School Applications w/Seth Gilmore

The Taylor Cu Podcast

In this episode of the Taylor Cu podcast, guest Seth Gilmore, a consultant from MB Exchange, discussed the strategy for applying to business school. He explained that while a high GMAT score and a 4.0 GPA are important, they are not the only factors that business schools consider when selecting students.

"It's not just about the numbers," said Gilmore. "Business schools are looking for applicants who can demonstrate leadership, teamwork, and other qualities that will make them successful."

Gilmore suggested that applicants should have a clear long-term goal, think of what they want written on their tombstone when they are gone, and strive to make a difference in the world. He also encouraged applicants to look into the website Poets and Quants to get more information about business school applications and admissions, and contact a consultant to help them strategize their career path in order to have the best stories to tell.

Finally, Gilmore emphasized the importance of brand name when applying to business school, and how it is industry standard to use a consultant. "It's important to have a good brand name on your resume," he said. "It's important to have a consultant who can help you strategize your career path and make sure you have the best stories to tell."
