MBA Game Plan evolved out of the vision of two business school applicants in early 2002. Having just been admitted to a number of top business schools between them – including Harvard, Kellogg, Wharton, Fuqua, and Michigan – Omari Bouknight and Scott Shrum realized that they had similar opinions on why strong business school applicants often produce bad applications. Further research confirmed their suspicions: applicants who do not differentiate themselves or establish fit with their schools tend to get “dinged.”
They decided to write a book on how to devise a game plan for business school applications, signed with a publisher, and wrote the book during their first year of business school. Your MBA Game Plan was published in August, 2003, as Scott and Omari returned for their second year of business school (at Kellogg and Harvard, respectively). Since that time thousands of copies of Your MBA Game Plan have been sold around the world, and Scott and Omari have directly helped hundreds more applicants through their web site and participation in online forums.
Although the feedback on the book was exceptional, MBA applicants often wanted to send Scott and Omari their MBA admissions essays for feedback. While the book had been invaluable in writing their essays, these applicants were looking for an expert evaluation of their own work. Scott and Omari realized that there was an unmet need in the market for an MBA essay & resume editing service that helped applicants get admitted while adhering to business schools' strict ethical standards by ensuring that the applicants themselves wrote their own applications.
It was this insight that led to the creation of the MBA Game Plan essay and resume evaluation service in 2005. Much more than a traditional essay editing service, MBA Game Plan employs the unique principles found in Your MBA Game Plan, and goes even further by tailoring advice to each client while remaining true to the client's own words and ideas. To strengthen the service, Scott and Omari hired a crew of MBA essay & resume evaluators from the top business schools in the world. And the results have been outstanding, judging by the testimonials they regularly receive from successful clients.
Scott and Omari strongly believe that every word that someone submits in a business school application should be his or her own. With this service, their MBA admissions book, participation in online forums, and frequent speaking engagements, they keep working to spread this idea of fair, ethical help for all business school applicants. |
