In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing some of the recent activity on LiveWire, which did include more waitlist movement last week. There is still some considerable uncertainty with respect to enrollments of international students who are waiting for their visa interviews.!
Graham highlighted Clear Admit’s summer series of webinars, which focuses on top MBA programs’ admissions essays, which will be attended by more than 20 of the top MBA programs. The first event is on Wednesday of this week, and includes Berkeley / Haas, Cornell / Johnson, Dartmouth / Tuck, Duke / Fuqua and UPenn / Wharton. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/mbaessay0725!
Graham then noted three admissions tips; the first focuses on younger candidates who are targeting top MBA programs; the next two, part of Clear Admit’s “Myth Busters” series, discuss applying to b-school if you’re over thirty, and whether there is a need for an MBA if you already have a successful career.!
We continue our series of Adcom Q&As, which is a yearly series where we interview the admissions leaders at all the top MBA programs; this week we have Q&As from Katy Radoll at UNC / Kenan Flagler and from Naz Erenguc at Florida / Warrington.!
Finally, Graham highlighted a Real Humans alumni spotlight focusing on an alum from Yale SOM working as a program manager at Google.!
For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries:
This week’s first MBA admissions candidate has a 335 GRE score and is an entrepreneur. They now want to use the MBA to pivot into investment banking.!
This week’s second MBA candidate has a 3.84 GPA but their GRE is only 312. We discussed the advantages and disadvantages of waiving the test.!
The final MBA candidate is a software engineer with a 3.94 GPA. They have a 710 GMAT score, and we are hoping they might retake the GMAT.!
This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who’ve been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!
