TESTIMONIALS

I came to Experts' seeking help on my applications with 680 on GMAT. It was September and I did not have time to improve my score. However, I was guided to prepare for GMAT as the help from Experts' eased the applications burden on me. While I achieved a 750 on GMAT with the Experts' Global Guidance Program, my applications were also almost completed. I still applied everywhere in Round-1 and achieved multiple admits with great scholarships!

Fordham University (Gabelli) MBA Admission Details and Applications Essays 2025-26

Here is a snapshot of the vital information for the applicants

ESSAY QUESTIONS

While some prospective students worry about writing an admissions essay, you should think of it as an opportunity to express yourself in areas that may not have been reflected in other portions of your application.

  1. Essay Question 1 (Required)

    Why do you want to join the Gabelli School of Business community? (500 Words)

    Please address the following topics:

    • How will your selected graduate program positively support your plans to advance your career and/or academic development?
    • What practical skills or knowledge do you hope to gain from this graduate program?
    • Why are you choosing to pursue your graduate degree now?
    • How will you contribute to the Gabelli community in and out of the classroom?

  2. Essay Question 2

    While the M.B.A. program you have selected is not exclusively quantitative, success in the curriculum requires a foundational level of quantitative proficiency. Please describe any academic coursework, professional certifications, and/or additional professional experiences you have undertaken to demonstrate your readiness for a quantitatively rigorous academic environment.

  3. Essay Question 3 (Video)

    Submit a three-minute video essay delivering a personal elevator pitch. In three minutes, tell us who you are, what drives you, and the value you bring to any team or organization. This is your opportunity to present yourself in a polished and professional manner. Record in a quiet space with a clear background, in professional attire. Your video will be reviewed by both the Admissions Committee and the Career Development Team.

  4. Essay Question 4 (Optional)

    Use this essay to share information that is not presented elsewhere in your application, e.g. explanation of employment gaps, academic aberrations, quantitative abilities, etc. (150 words)

The MBA application process can be quite challenging at first. Finding a benchmark and evaluating oneself is hard. When I began my application process, within the set of limitation that I was working under, I wasn’t very confident about my chances. Shailesh and Mayank evaluated my profile thoroughly and were very patient in understanding my constraints and requirements. They helped me structure my thoughts and motivated to apply to the better B-Schools. At every stage, they went above and beyond what was required. I never realised when they ceased to be ‘admission consultants’ and became ‘mentors’. Their mentorship helped me, not just with my applications to universities abroad, but also through the application process to Indian schools.”
