“Don’t bite the hand that feeds you” - MBA Admission Officer
Last Week,an interesting article was publishes in the Business Week about the niche group of (irritant) applicants who pester the admission office/alumn/students/faculty etc., during the application process and thus they create a negative impression which will influence their admission to the B-School.
"One McCombs applicant visiting a class talked through the entire lecture; another used inappropriate language in an e-mail exchange with an alum. Reports of their misbehavior got back to the admissions office on both occasions." - Asst. Dean Daniel Garza,Texas Mccombs
It is very true that the way applicant approaches any individual related to the School will have impact on his/her admission to that school or sometimes group of schools.The number of applicants have increased steeply and also B-Schools are competing among themselves to admit the most genuine and talented students.In this process even a small mistake by the applicant at any stage of application or in the vicinity of the time-period might get noticed.A negative or hurting remarks in popular MBA forums or an foul email to the alumns will surely sends bad feedback to the Admn office.
In the contemporary highly connected world,even an iota of small information is passed within minutes to the other part of the world.So MBA Applications,Be Careful and Good Luck
