Application tips from an MBA admissions officer

The MBA admissions process may appear daunting at first, but Ashley Lautzenheiser, Associate Director of Admissions for Olin’s graduate programs shares some helpful advice for candidates on a new podcast. Lautzenheiser tells Darren Joe, host of the Touch MBA podcast, about Olin’s emphasis on collaboration, our platform philosophy and focus on experiential learning through real projects, in real time, for real companies and organizations. She also shares some of the questions that admissions officers have in mind when interviewing candidates.

When assessing applicants – in addition to transcripts, test scores, resumes, and essays – the MBA admissions team looks to answer the following questions:

  • Do you have the potential to be successful in a rigorous classroom setting?
  • Do you have a strong sense of community?  Do we think you will be an active student who gets involved with your peers and community?
  • Would you work collaboratively in a team setting?  Would students be happy to have you as a teammate?
  • Even if you don’t know exactly what you want to do when you graduate, do we feel we can help you achieve your career goals?
