The application process is to submit five documents in isolation in terms of your CV, letters of recommendation, what these universities are looking for is that all your documents talk to each other, that they are part of the same story of who you are, what you want in your life, how your career has been preparing you for the things you want to do.

Harvard, unlike many schools, has the possibility for you to generate your own program within the MBA and you can take many courses such as writing. It leads you to think that you don't have to be a genius or have a good contact to be able to aspire and apply to these universities and be accepted. It is a process that takes time to get there and build your story and experience. You must have a plan, a motivation, creating a goal and building a story. The financing of these universities provides a lot of support, but any institution can give you that support to continue your studies and you can return to work in that institution that supported you.


It is a unique experience, you learn from everyone you interact with, you see all the opportunities that exist and that you can take advantage of to continue and to recommend to all those who want to study at these universities. It motivates you to see the projects of other classmates and you can polish your projects and meet your goals, expanding your options. Think of graduate school as a possibility of growth, of learning without fear of making mistakes and that will continue to open more doors for you. Studying a graduate degree abroad gives you the experience of meeting interesting people from all over the world, you learn to know yourself better, you find many challenges during your personal and professional experience. Being outside your country helps you to see from another point of view the critical ways of your country, what you are doing right, you forge another type of criticism and you have a broader perspective of yourself and your country.


Listening to the experiences of other Mexicans who have been accepted to universities like Harvard or MIT motivates and encourages you to apply and to know that it is not an unattainable dream as you thought, that there are many opportunities and support programs such as scholarships, etc. Each program has a different application process, you can access the school's web pages to see the programs, objectives, profiles, admission processes and everything you need to apply to the school you are interested in, expanding your search in more universities since they are not the only universities with good academic level and you can apply to different universities.
