How can you best prepare for your IESE MiM application? Here are some tips and guidelines to have in mind when approaching the application –<\/p>\n

Finding a good fit<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When applying to a school it is essential that you get to know its culture and the people that make up the school. This is to ensure that you can thrive and excel in such an environment. It is a process of discovery that you need to go through with the school to ensure a \u201cgood fit\u201d.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A great way to start is to do a little introspection and think about your motivations, desires, and expectations. What do you want to get out of your MiM experience? Why are you attracted to IESE? Make sure your application speaks about this. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Understand your values<\/b><\/h4>\n

IESE\u2019s mission is to\u00a0educate business leaders with a general management approach guided by a global mindset and people-centered vision<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> It is the bedrock on which the school is built, strongly informs its culture and is something that we want to see reflected in our student body. What are your values and how is this aligned with the school’s?<\/p>\n

There are many ways where you can demonstrate the values of the school.\u00a0 You can share an example of where you went above and beyond, how you made a difference in your community or some other aspect of your life inside or outside of a professional setting<\/p>\n

Highlight your essence<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We understand that to ask you to bottle-up<\/em> your essence<\/strong> in an application process is a difficult task. Make sure you take advantage of every opportunity to show us who you are (yes, that may include your peculiar hobbies as well!). How you can stand out<\/strong> is not only through your test scores or grades but through your personality, interests, and values<\/strong> \u2013 make sure you share all of what makes you, you with us.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, we want to get to know you beyond the numbers or data that makes up the rest of your application. We hope you\u2019re encouraged to show your personality!<\/p>\n

Reflect on your essay<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The application requirements such as standardized test results make sure we understand your academic background but that does not make up the complete picture of who you are. The essay section allows you the chance to complement your application and complete the picture of who you truly are. Essay questions can vary every year, but generally here are a few questions you can ask yourself <\/strong>to help prepare for just about any essay topic that comes your way.<\/p>\n
