Jasmine, Winter '25 CohortFrequently asked questions
Anyone applying to a deferred MBA program. We do everything we can to get you as prepared as possible to navigate this competitive application process.
The earlier you are, the more time you have to prepare. The number one mistake that applicants make is not giving themselves enough time to strengthen their application. This bootcamp is a great way to avoid that and make sure you're starting off on the right foot.
Most of the attendees will be juniors and seniors in college, but freshmen and sophomores can also benefit from this course and set themselves up for success.
This bootcamp is designed to fully equip you for acceptance to a top deferred MBA program. By the end of the 8 sessions, you will:
- have a clear idea of the best narrative and app strategy for your background and goals.
- know who to select for your recommenders and have completed a polished recommender prep doc.
- have an outline for your deferred MBA essays and have started drafting them for multiple schools.
- understand how to ace your deferred MBA interviews with live prep sessions and custom feedback.
- feel comfortable navigating your target schools' specific applications.
- ... and more!
The curriculum also includes custom assignments and personalized interactive activities for maximum impact. Deferred programs are competitive, but this bootcamp will give you all the tools you need to stand out.
The bootcamp is beneficial for both people with and without a deferred MBA coach.
If you don’t have a coach, this course will give you a strong foundation that you can build on with a coach after the bootcamp or on your own. You’ll hear from 10+ expert coaches, and make meaningful progress on every part of the application. If you do have a coach, this course will give you a structured learning experience and diverse suite of perspectives, as well as custom activities that you can then take to the next level with your coach.
