A growing number of nontraditional candidates (NTCs) are recognizing the value of an MBA. Individuals from nonprofit organizations, military personnel, artists, government workers, and early career applicants fall in the NTC category. NTCs are sought by top MBA programs because of the diversity of
rich experiences and perspectives they offer in the class.
Admitted candidates from this background usually have three
qualities in common: (1) they have an exceptional leadership
track record, (2) they have done an outstanding job building
a strong case for why they need an MBA, and (3) they typically
have a lot of passion for the work they do. But despite the
strengths that they bring, NTCs have major hurdles in the
application process: they need to convince the MBA Board
that they have a rigorous background and relevant or trans-
ferable skills and that the MBA makes sense given their long-
term goals.
