Selection Criteria
To make their selections for our program, the admissions committee assesses your application materials as well as feedback from any additional interactions you may have had with admissions representatives. As part of this highly competitive selection process, we consider a variety of criteria that measure your demonstrated skills and assess your potential as a Katz MBA student, future business leader, and alumnus.
We assess you in three different areas, including:
- Previous academic performance and analytical skill: By evaluating your prior course work and the GMAT exam, we will assess your ability to conduct quantitative analysis, business acumen, and overall intellectual ability.
- Demonstrated leadership skills and record of accomplishments: Your résumé reflects your work experience to this point. In addition to your résumé, during your interview you will have an opportunity to articulate examples of your ability to assume responsibility and use your leadership skills to achieve measurable results. Your recommendation forms also give us insight into your potential in these areas, as well as your interpersonal and communication skills.
- Goals and objectives: You have the opportunity through your personal essays and during your interview to convey the plan you have mapped for your future career. It is important for us to see how you connect your experiences to your future aspirations.
