3 Mistakes Students Make When Applying to Business School. Business school admission is a stressful process. If you have already started the application process, here are the three mistakes you need to know before finalizing your MBA program application: Not Having a Complete Application Admissions officers want to know who you are and see what you can do, not what you can hypothetically do if you get a few more years of experience. If you have not yet completed your application, you will likely miss out on the opportunity to demonstrate who you are as a person and a professional.Each school will have different application requirements. Review the application guidelines and requirements of the schools you are applying to, and ensure that you provide all the necessary information.Schools will likely want to see your resume, transcripts, test scores and letters of recommendation.If you are applying for a top program, you may also need to send in a copy of your transcripts, though this is more typical at top-tier schools.

However, if you do not demonstrate a strong fit with the schools you have applied to, you will likely have a more difficult time gaining admission to a program.The admissions officers of business schools are looking for students who will make great additions to their classes.
