Admit.me Fellows is a free fellowship program for underrepresented minorities (URMs), women, and current/former military personnel interested in MBA or business-related MS/PhD programs.
The fellowship provides admissions and career resources, valued at over $2,000, to optimize your outcomes from application through matriculation.
There is so much noise for applicants throughout the process, with people offering varied (often conflicting) advice. As admissions and test preparation experts, we’re here to filter out the noise and provide you with definitive guidance throughout your journey. We’ve helped roughly 92% of our applicants successfully navigate the admissions process since 2007.
about the program
why apply?
It’s simple, really. We need more underrepresented minorities, women and current or former military leaders in business, but the application process is extremely challenging, overwhelming, and expensive. We help close the access gap by providing FREE test prep, admissions coaching, career guidance and mentoring through our partners Magoosh, Admit Advantage and Vault. Best in-class support to help you through the admissions process.

what are others saying?
"I never thought I could afford admissions help...thank G-d I found Admit.me! Without Admit.me, I would have drowned in the process. Admit.me helped me get into a way better school than I would have on my own. They were a real lifesaver!"

FAQ
You have to meet the demographic requirement of being either a woman, underrepresented minority (African American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, and/or LatinX), or military personnel (current or former). In addition, you have to be in the application year for an MBA or specialized MS/PhD in a business-related field.
If you are thinking about applying in the future, we suggest you create an Admit.me profile to stay connected with free resources for planning your graduate school future.
Who is eligible to be an admit.me fellow?
Are there any financial requirements?
Nope. Just eligibility requirements listed above.
Is there a cost to the fellowship?
Nope. However, we want you to take this very seriously. The cost of creating a fellowship program like this is over $2,000 per fellow, so we only want you to apply if you are actively seeking acceptance to a MBA or business-related MS/PhD program this year. Please and thank you.
First deadline is May 31st and will come quickly. Second deadline is July 31st. We need enough time to review applications and give you enough time to get the support you need to create a compelling application for this application round.
What are the deadlines for applying?
Sometime in March. If you’re interested now, leave you’re information and you’ll be the first to know.
When will applications be released?
Generally, the fellowship includes full application support from test prep through submission and career advice. In addition, it includes access to top schools and discounts for services and support for the admissions process. Finally, you get to learn and grow in this admissions process with a cohort of fellows that (we hope) you will stay in contact with as you go off to different programs and on to your business careers. See the section on “What do admit.me fellows get?” for more details.
What does the fellows program include?
Very simply, we expect excellence. We want you to have high expectations of yourself and your outcomes and we want you to work hard to achieve your goals. We want you to inspire others in your cohort through your hard work, encouragement and guidance. In addition, we want you to take this very seriously and put in the effort needed to yield and exceptional application. We want admit.me fellows to be the best applicants, students and leaders in the business community!
What does the program demand from me?
Things happen. We can’t force you to go to school, but we certainly want you to think long and hard about this before you would accept the fellowship. There are only a few select fellowships, so don’t be selfish if you’re unsure of your future?
What if I end up not applying to school?
Yes, check out this video from our founder, Eric Allen.
Do you have any advice or resources to help me optimize my application?
Put simply, it was requested by our admit.me users and applicants we would speak. There are clearly very strong programs for this same demographic, but nothing focused on application-year support with best-in-class test prep, admissions and career services companies. We spoke with applicants who experienced multiple programs that provided solid exposure, lots of fun, and networking opportunities, but the applicants remained confused and uncertain about how to execute on the application process. With limited exposure to some application resources and a advisor Kofi and Eric have been in the admissions space for 13 yrs. and saw the need so created the fellows program. Checkout the video from Kofi to find out a bit more about his story.
Why did you create the program?
Magoosh – provides a subscription to their premium service for all admit.me fellows and will provide a discount to anyone who doesn’t make it into the program but goes through the entire application process.
Admit Advantage – provides three hours of admissions coaching advice from one of their senior admissions consultants who has graduated from a top 10 business school.
Vault – providing access to all of Vault’s career access resources
Who are your partners?
Because they’re dope.
Why are your partners providing these services for free?
We built this fellowship around one thing: helping you navigate the admissions process. We took best-in-class admissions partners and brought them together to help you! We don’t spend money on marketing, branding, nor do we worry about competing against other programs in our space. There are other great organizations out there like Consortium, Forte, Riordan, MLT, Toigo etc. targeting this demographic. We think we are largely complementary to these programs and we welcome any applicants who are currently participating or alumni of these programs.
