Excel in Your Job and Your Community.

Guest post by Kofi Kankam, Co-Founder, Admit Advantage

Every day, prospective clients call, email or ask us what they can do to most improve their candidacy. Most times, these MBA applicants are solely focused on ways to address their GPA (see our essay on “Building an alternative transcript) or taking the GMAT for a second, third, or fourth time.

Of course, if the situation was that obvious and prospects didn’t (frequently) flub it, we would not be spending your time and ours missing reruns of Law & Order and the lead-up to the baseball playoffs writing this vignette.
