Your main benefit from employing the services of Morningside Heights America is to help you enroll in the best graduate school of business possible, not solely based on prestige, but based on the “best fit” institution for you as an individual. This is especially important since business schools are not alike. They are as varied in character as student vary in personalities.  Elite business schools, on the other hand, are not always looking for the absolute best students in terms of GPA and standardized test scores, but for the “best students” in terms of the greatest potential to positively impact the world. Examples of this includes students likely to contribute to global leadership, avant-garde health care, pioneering researcher, once-in-a-generation innovation, Silicon Valley-like entrepreneurship, among other abilities. You benefit from MHA guidance because each of our partners are either Ivy League graduates, parents of Ivy League students, Ivy League students or affiliated with an Ivy League university. Most commonly our relationship is with Harvard, Princeton and Columbia. Through our personal experience, research and processes, our student-centered, evidence-based methods place talented individuals in a position to reach their greatest potential and gain admission into their “best fit,” top school.

Although we have demonstrated exceptional individual achievement as members of the Ivy League community, what truly sets us apart from most college admissions consultants is our commitment to our students, our knowledge of the college admissions process, our appreciation of what admission committees look for in their applicants, and our performance. Thus, we are uniquely qualified to evaluate pre-business school students, make specific recommendations that enhance the presentation of their credentials. Finally, we develop both a comprehensive and student-tailored strategy to present your most competitive self among a field of strong business school candidates.

Self-Assessment

First, we assist the student define their personality, interests and abilities in order to match these qualities with business schools and residencies that complement your profile, values and goals.

Vision

Having completed the process of self-reflection, the student looks at a 5-20-year time horizon, considering regions of the country or cities you want to study in particular business schools that meet your long-term career goals, specific departments, curriculums, professors and research interests that each align with your ultimate goals.

Strategic Plan

Having accomplished this, together we develop a plan with measurable and reachable goals and objectives, in particular those that enhance your pre-business school credentials and create a compelling story to the business school admissions committees to make you stand out and get noticed.

Branding/Marketing

Ever wonder why two seemingly comparable pre-business school students apply to the same schools, one gets into most of them. The other gets into one or none. Or perhaps, you find that a seemingly less qualified student earns that coveted acceptance, while the ace does not. The difference is likely that the successful business school candidate marketed him or herself better to the admissions committee. At MHA, we assist you in determining and executing your marketing campaign.

The Application & the Process

There are things in the application you can control (i.e. your personal effort and your personal statement). There are things that you cannot (i.e. letters of recommendation, deadlines, admissions committee decisions). With acceptance rates hover just above 2% at Stanford and other elite universities, the margin for error is low. While there are no guarantees for admittance, we use student-centered, evidence-based approaches to help students get into the best possible, best fit business schools.
