“Non-traditional applicants generally have non-traditional goals, so draw a roadmap for the admission team clearly outlining how their program will specifically fit your goals and educational needs. How does their curriculum fill out your current weak areas? What university/department/business partnership are you most excited about? Show admissions that you have already connected the dots and that you belong here, regardless of your background.”
– Kate Galloway, Texas McCombs MBA ’20
