Getting into the top business schools in America takes more than a good GMAT score.

To get into the top business schools in America you demonstrate certain personality traits.

Business school admissions are extremely competitive, with schools looking for the right mix of experience, undergraduate grades, and GMAT test scores.

And schools don't want to see only one type of leadership, according to Blackman. They want a diversity of experiences. So applicants should demonstrate their leadership qualities in whatever drives their passions, whether that be in their friendships, in the classroom, or in their athletic endeavors.
