Do you know the value of your package for The top school of your dreams?

Your Package is something that is so subtle, yet it’s so important. I’ll

try to explain this as clearly as I can because it’s something

that a lot of people don’t get.

Your application package essentially consists of the following items:

Essays

References

Resume

If you were to look at an ill prepared application package do

you know what the one thing is you’d find? You probably

can’t guess so I’m going to tell you.

It’s called inconsistency.

Okay, what do I mean by inconsistency?

The best way to explain it is with an example, albeit a rather

odd example. Let’s say you had three applicants for an MBA program.

John Doe

Jane Smith

Jim Brown

Each of these applicants has their own application package.

Now, imagine that we took all the elements of these

packages and mixed them all up in three separate piles and

then just arbitrarily picked from each pile and redid the

packages.

You might end up with John Doe’s resume, Jane Smith’s

references and Jim Brown’s essays in one package under

say, Jane Smith’s name.

Now, assuming that we fix all the technical discrepancies

(the facts) we’d still have a problem with the package. Can

you guess what it is?

It’s the voice. Each applicant has their own voice and their

own flow. If you take John Doe’s voice and mix it with Jane

Smith’s voice, you’re going to have a break in the flow.

Something isn’t going to seem right. In other words, the style that you use in one document

MUST be carried out through all the documents. You want to

show consistency.

I know this may not seem like a big deal, but trust me…it is.

The applicants who can show a definitive voice throughout

the process will get first preference as this essentially shows

a degree of professionalism that they are looking for in a

new student. So after you have put everything together, read it over and

make sure it sounds consistent.

You won’t be sorry.

Those with the most creative idea's, in their minds, are the ones

who will have the best chance of getting through their

program. In other words…be creative…but don’t lie.

Lying will catch up to you big time. Somewhere, somehow,

that lie is going to come out and when it does, it’s not going

to be pretty and will essentially cost you any chance of

getting into that school.

At the end of the free report, I’m going to give you a resource

that will show you EXACTLY how to put together your

resume so that nothing is left to chance.

Trust me on this…you want that resume to be a piece of

artwork and show you off in the best possible light.
