# About This Guide

Congratulations on your decision to pursue your MBA! For many veterans, this is a personal choice filled with unknowns and uncertainty. Much like joining a new unit, applying to an MBA program comes with its own culture, language, and systems to learn. From understanding the GMAT or GRE to finding the right program fit, the process can feel overwhelming.

This guide is designed to help you navigate those early stages, especially before you are paired with an ambassador. It offers step-by-step guidance, practical tips, and insights from veterans who have successfully gone before you.

Treat this guide as advice, not law. There are many ways to reach your goals, and every applicant’s path is unique. Use this as a starting point, do your own research, and adapt what you learn to fit your individual situation.
