Hey, everyone. Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been posting a lot of resources related to preparations for MBA admissions lately. I know that some readers would prefer brand new content instead, but, given the time of year (beginning of the application season) and rising competitiveness of the application process, I want to pass along as much useful information as possible. For my readers who aspire to earn MBA degrees, I figure that this kind of information can be a godsend.

In this entry, I’m passing along information about an upcoming pair of free webinars from MBA admissions consulting firm MBA Catalyst. Some of my long-term readers may recognize this company from the interview that I did with its founder, Jesse Mejia (Georgetown MBA). Jesse and I have been friends for a while now and, when he told me about these webinars, I knew that I had to get the word out about them. Even better, Jesse has recently added 2 new admissions consultants to his team, Damali Rhett (Dartmouth Tuck MBA) and Shaquita Basileo (Stanford MBA), both of whom are also friends of mine. With these ladies as part of his team, Jesse has built a roster of killer admissions advisors.

In the webinars, the MBA Catalyst team will provide tips on how to craft one’s story, address perceived application weaknesses, and target the best schools for one’s profile. Best of all, they’re doing it all for FREE. Check out the text below for more information.

Hello everyone!

I want to let you know that my team of consultants and I are hosting a webinar to help answer questions on how to overcome MBA Admissions challenges. The details of the webinar are below, but we will focus on 1) Developing Your Story, 2) Overcoming Low GPA / Low GMAT scores, and 3) How to highlight a non-traditional background into success.

I have recently updated my company’s website, so if you have not checked it out visit us at www.MBACatalyst.com.

If you have friends that are struggling through these same issues, please forward this email to them. My goal is to get about 50 people to attend the webinar, so passing the word along will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Jesse
