According to Seth Godin, everything is marketing. If that is true, then that must mean that MBA Admission Applications are also marketing. While I don’t know her views on Seth’s thoughts, I do know that Stacy Blackman believes that admissions is marketing. In fact, she has put her experience to work helping applicants market themselves effectively.
Applying strategies from her marketing background, Blackman created StacyBlackman.com a MBA application consulting firm. Her organization currently offers two services.
1) Comprehensive Services – This is the whole deal. MBA application process from A-Z.
2) Editing Services – Help to improve your written material for admissions.
While their services are not in-expensive, their claims are substantial including the considerable claim that…
“In 2005, 10% of clients received unsolicited scholarships due to the high quality of their applications.”
The Comprehensive Services start above the 2K mark but they have hourly and editing services that are under $500. That said, they are worth checking out regardless of your budget. Hey, if they help you get a Scholarship, the services will pay for themselves and if you take a Grockit course you can put the money you saved on test prep towards some consulting services. You could also buy yourself a Macbook, or take a little vacation.
