Tips for applicants

Lead with your MBA and the most relevant hands-on experiences in strategy, finance or corporate work, and place those highlights at the top of your resume so they’re easy to scan.

Show how you’ve tailored reports and prepared content that executives can act on. Include concrete examples where you shaped the narrative, addressed audience needs, and backed your recommendations with data.

Be ready to talk through cross-functional collaboration and influencing without authority. Share a situation where you brought multiple teams together to complete a priority initiative and what you learned from the process.

Have a clear project-ready story about turning an early-stage idea into a growth initiative, including how you structured the cadence, milestones, and the metrics you used to measure progress.
