The Fordham Black and Hispanic MBA Association (BHMBAA) was founded in the late 1990’s at the Lincoln Center Campus of Fordham University in New York City.

Choosing the right business management education for you is the true challenge and can be a full-time job in itself. We are committed to helping you make the most educated decision possible. We strongly urge you to meet with an admissions representative, speak with a current student, or sit in on a class during the admissions process.

Be Prepared
When requesting transcripts, request an extra one for yourself.

Line up your references early and follow up with them. Be sure that they submit their recommendations to meet the deadlines.

Don’t underestimate the usefulness of GMAT Preparation resources available on-line and at your local bookstore. A couple hours a week of GMAT Preparation can greatly benefit your score.

Application essays vary from school to school. Don’t expect one essay to meet the needs of all applications. Be sure that your essays answer the questions asked.

Be Positive
Application essays are a wonderful opportunity to explain to an admissions committee why you are the perfect candidate for their program. Use the essays to highlight academic and career accomplishments, personal achievements, and other unique qualities.

If there is an issue that you feel must be addressed in the application, explain the issue and how you grew personally as a result of the issue. If you did not perform to your ability in undergraduate studies, for example, be sure to indicate how you have compensated for a poor performance and what sort of maturation process you have experienced since.
