If you are an experienced manager with aspirations to accelerate your career into a senior leadership or C-suite position, an Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) will help you progress your career and lead your organization. Whether you want to shift industries, fortify your position in your current industry or establish a business from the ground up, an EMBA can be the strategic catalyst you need.
At Personal MBA Coach, our executive MBA application consultants leverage 17 years of experience and insider knowledge to help you prepare your applications. Our EMBA packages are comprehensive, assisting you in putting together your applications from start to finish.
Why Leverage Support for EMBA Applications?
Applying to an Executive MBA program is arduous regardless of the schools you focus on. Finding schools that align with your profile, goals, and C-suite, director or VP career aspirations takes consideration and critical thinking. Then, preparing recommendation letters, finding transcripts, creating compelling essays, completing candidate interviews, and preparing for the Executive Assessment (EA), Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) takes tremendous strategy and effort. Receiving support from an experienced EMBA admissions consultant will amplify your singular experiences and perspectives and address the school’s selection priorities.
