For
MBA Applicants
At
PrelawAdvisor.com, I
also work with MBA applicants. A number of my JD applicants
over the years have applied for JD/MBA programs, and some
decide in the course of considering law school that they really
prefer an MBA program and a business career.
Here's
how I work with MBA applicants:

Agreement for Comprehensive MBA Application
Advisory Services
Date:
__________________
Advisee:
__________________________
In consideration of the Advisee's payment of $1,950.00, Brad
Dobeck, Esq., president of PrelawAdvisor.com, will provide
the Advisee with comprehensive MBA application advisory services
during one admission cycle. My goal is to assist you in: (1)
earning the best possible business school admission offers;
(2) guiding you along an appropriate business-related developmental
path; and (3) helping you understand the realities of your
future business school competition, so that you are informed
about how to achieve outstanding performance.
Brad
Dobeck will:
Serve
as the Advisee's strategist, advocate and ally in the process
of competing for offers from the recommended target business
schools.
Develop
a strategy for you, which includes: consideration of business-related
work or internships; selection of business schools and program
type; GMAT preparation recommendations and test date timing;
the timing of submission of your applications; development
of a highly creative and persuasive personal statement concept;
advice on all other application documents, including optional
essays, addendums, answers to questions and certifications;
selection and preparation of your recommenders; recommendation
of a delivery method of the application; dealing with any
waitlist situation; negotiation of any desired start-date
deferral; and assistance in leveraging your position for the
best possible cost discounting by business schools.
Recommend
books to read, business schools to visit (both cyber trips
and actual visits), and provide performance tips.
Seek
to spare the Advisee from learning the lessons of the business
school admission process the hard way (that is, by rejection
or poor results). But to do so, you have to understand that
I must at times simulate the toughness and impersonal nature
of the business school admission process. However, I will
always be on your side.
Attempt
to respond, normally, within two business days to your phone
calls or e-mails. Please give me a little flexibility during
the busiest times of the year. I will also take an occasional
vacation day (as should the Advisee!).
Should
the recommended strategy fail to achieve at least one business
school admission offer acceptable to the Advisee, I will assist
the Advisee during the next admission cycle, without any additional
charge.
Your
Responsibilities as Advisee:
Implement
the strategy agreed upon.
Act
upon my recommendations, to the best of your ability, paying
close attention to all of the details, as business schools
require.
You
give me permission to speak to you candidly, and to edit your
work without reservations, so that your applications will
meet the high standards sought by business schools.
Our
Joint Operating Principles:
One
of the most important factors for you to have in this process
is mental flexibility. Hold the goal of going to business
school firmly in mind, but please retain an open mind as to
how to best achieve this goal. Mentally flexible applicants
are the most successful, in my experience.
Business
schools can set very high standards for written work. We will
attempt to meet them, working together. Attention to correct
details is critical. Business schools seek work that is excellent
in every detail. Proper grammar and spelling are absolutely
essential.
There
are no dumb questions. Ask anything on your mind. But
please learn from each discussion, so that we don't have to
cover the same points repeatedly. Execute corrections to the
best of your ability.
In
some ways, the business school admission process is quite
rigid. Yet in other ways, it can be flexible, allowing for
your creativity. I'll help you understand when flexibility
in your response is permissible.
Parents
are always welcome to call or e-mail their questions
or concerns.
You
agree to email me reports of all practice GMAT results, changes
in your thinking and goals, and significant developments in
your life that might affect your business school plans. You
agree also to report all significant business school communications
to me. Please keep me informed. It is your responsibility
to do so.
In
order to avoid making mistakes that might adversely affect
your applications, please do not contact business school admission
offices on your own, before checking with me first.
If
you agree to the terms of this Agreement for Comprehensive
MBA Application Advisory Services, please send an email to
me, confirming your acceptance. You may make payment by using
your credit card on my website (press the PayPal button below)
or by mailing a check to PrelawAdvisor.com at the address
below.
The
$1,950 fee you pay is non-refundable.
Thank
you very much. I look forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
Brad
Dobeck, Esq.
