Think you have a flaw in your MBA profile? You’re not alone... and you’re probably thinking about it the wrong way.
Join Stratus MBA Admissions Counselors Donna Bauman and Jennifer Jackson for a live Ask-Me-Anything session focused on overcoming perceived weaknesses in your MBA application. With decades of combined experience, Donna and Jennifer have helped thousands of applicants reframe low GPAs, test scores, career pivots, employment gaps, and nontraditional backgrounds into compelling, strategic narratives.
In this interactive session, they will break down:
- How admissions committees actually evaluate “weaknesses”
- Which concerns truly matter (and which often don’t)
- Smart strategies for addressing academic, professional, or personal gaps
- Real-world examples of applicants who successfully repositioned their profiles
Bring your questions. This AMA format is designed to give you candid, practical guidance tailored to your situation.
You will leave with a clearer framework for assessing your own profile — and greater confidence in how to position yourself authentically and strategically.
