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, Stanford, Ohio State / Fisher and SMU / Cox are releasing final decisions. A few MBA programs are also continuing to their next admissions rounds, including Rice / Jones.
Graham noted that Clear Admit is continuing its MBA application overview events this week with the final two events, on May 26 and 27. Again, the majority of the leading MBA programs participate in these valuable events, including UPenn / Wharton, Columbia, Virginia / Darden, LBS, INSEAD, and Michigan / Ross this week.

Graham highlighted a Fridays from the Frontline feature from a student at Duke / Fuqua, and a recently published article on a $50 million gift to John’s Hopkins / Carey Business School. He also commented on some changes to the curriculum at IESE, where AI has been embedded across all disciplines.
Graham continued with the Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on three alumni: HBS / Microsoft, Wharton / OpenAI and Yale / Twitch.
For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry.
