Weekly Roundup for Clear Admit’s MBA Podcast
In this week’s MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are continuing to see MBA programs release their final decisions. This upcoming week, Duke / Fuqua, SMU / Cox and Arizona / Carey are releasing final decisions. MBA programs are also continuing to their next admissions rounds, including MIT / Sloan, Stanford and UCLA / Anderson.
Graham highlighted the Spring MBA applicant survey that Clear Admit is conducting. You can access the survey here: https://bit.ly/surveymba26
Graham then noted upcoming Clear Admit events. On May 11, Clear Admit is hosting our in-person admissions event in Atlanta. Most top MBA programs are scheduled to attend. We are also hosting several Application overview events in May, on May 19 and 20, and May 26 and 27. Signups for these events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events
Graham then highlighted two MBA admissions tips that focus on negotiating scholarships and the reapplication process.
Finally, Graham continued with the Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on three alumni from Kelley / BCG, Judge / Bain and HBS / Amazon.
For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three DecisionWire entries.
