Today marks the beta launch of Veritas Prep's Business School Selector. This new tool analyzes an applicant's prospects of entering the top 25 U.S. business school programs as defined by Veritas Prep's own proprietary model. It serves to help answer the question on every b-school applicant's mind: "What are my chances of getting in?" This is a question that I hear almost every day from my Admissions Consulting clients.
This tool was created to generate an optimal range of business schools for you. By "optimal," we mean that these are the highest-ranked schools to which you have a reasonable chance of getting accepted. While no model is perfect, especially in beta, you can use the range of schools at the bottom of this page as a way to start narrowing your choice of MBA programs.
Please don’t take the model too seriously. Since it only utilizes a subset of data, it cannot be considered a comprehensive tool for all situations and applicant profiles. The admissions process is highly subjective, and no one model can serve as an "oracle" or "magic eight ball."
And please keep in mind that this is a beta version. We have opened up the tool to the MBA admissions community to make it more robust over time. We’ll continue to improve the model by adding even more useful criteria to help you find the right MBA program.
So try it out, see what MBA programs you may want to target, and let us know what you think!
