    How to Find Fit in a Business School

    Betsy Massar, founder and CEO of Master Admissions MBA Consulting says, “I recommend students attend as many school-sponsored events as they can, whether in person or virtually. I encourage students to pay attention to how the school is marketing to them: where is the school trying to connect on values? Where are you and the school and its representatives, as well as current students, alumni, and faculty aligned?”

    How To Decide Between an MBA and Master in Finance

    While both degrees can boost your career in finance, the MBA offers more flexibility if you decide to use your finance degree to immediately work in another function within a company, consulting firm, and even in a financial institution.

    Poets & Quants Top 10 MBA Admissions Consultants

    “The choice to select an MBA consultant can be a big one, and I am so glad to have found Betsy. I was not looking forward to the introspection, and I was daunted by the process of distilling myself into the essays. Fortunately, I received personal attention from Betsy and felt like I was able to create a real relationship. Because of this she was able to better guide me and help me push through the hard work.

    Emotional Intelligence and Your B-School App

    "Schools are looking for traits and potential, and some people will show more self-awareness and emotional intelligence than others,” says Betsy Massar, founder of Master Admissions. “Still, both those characteristics are really important indicators of success in any organization, whether it is a business school or a place of employment. I think they are looking for maturity, and emotional intelligence can be considered on measure of that trait.”

    Third Round: Do I or Don’t I?

    Betsy interviews admissions directors from around the US asking whether it's worth it to apply to Round 3, or if it makes sense to wait. Students do get admitted to top business schools in Round 3. It’s not a myth. As former Harvard Business School admissions director Dee Leopold wrote in her blog about Round 3, “Yes, we have spots available. We always do.”

What People Are Saying

I once told Betsy she is "amazeballs", well, because I believe she is. Betsy was both a mentor and a friend and helped me to continue to have faith in myself throughout the overwhelming process of MBA applications. She helped me explore my school options and put me in touch with people who could offer additional guidance. Because she took the time to really get to know me, Betsy helped me present my strongest self throughout my essays and was a large factor in my getting accepted to my top choice.

Betsy has a gift! Working with her I actually enjoyed the application process. I wouldn't have gotten in without Betsy's help.

M Harvard Business School

Betsy! I miss you! Seriously, your lessons are relevant to every assignment and essay I have written in the last year. I owe you a debt of gratitude.

I would strongly suggest working with Betsy if you are looking for one-on-one attention, especially if you have a finance background or international experience. She took a very holistic approach to the process, was really interested in talking me through my highs and lows up to this point and true gut feel for why this school/why MBA. I did not have a very straightforward story (lay offs, international moves, liberal arts major with only ok GPA) and my GMAT was not stellar, but I feel that I was able to put my best foot forward in this cycle with Betsy's guidance.

Thank you for helping me put in the best application I could. And now I'm Hanover-bound --time to upgrade my winter wardrobe!
